I hope someone knows how to fix this situation on my wife's iPad.
She reads late at night with the lights out. She start out with the bed light on and the text is black on white background. As soon as she puts the bed light out, the text turns to white with a black background. She wants the black text with white background. I tried a few things w/o luck.
Is there way to fix this problem?

budspwr,
Thank you for clarifying. This would be the Auto-Night Theme settings in Books, which is supported in some books. When enabled, it will automatically change the color and brightness of the book in low lighting conditions such as when the lights are turned off as you described. To disable it you'll want to follow these steps:

Hey there, budspwr!
Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like she has the iPad set up to change to dark mode automatically. You can check this by going to Settings > Display & Brightness. You will want to turn this off so it doesn’t automatically change when she turns off the lights.
If it still happens, you will want to look into the settings of the app she is using to read.
Kindest regards.
budspwr,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
If your wife is still experiencing the same behavior after trying the steps previously suggested to her by the community, don’t hesitate to reach back out and provide the community with specifics on what she sees for more help.
Cheers!
I thought I had specified what the problem was. She see white characters on a black background while reading at night with no lights in the area. She does not want to read white on black. She wants to read black on white all the time.
Hi and thanks for replying. I'll give that a try but some time ago, I thought I did that.
She uses books/ebooks by Apple.
Little bit more: Auto was off, night shift is off, autolack is 15 minutes.
