No, the difference is that computer monitors are fundamentally different
media from books. Books work by reflecting surrounding light, whereas
monitors emit the light themselves.
I think having xterms with black on white to be comparable to reading
a book in direct sunlight. It's not nice at all. I always read books
in the shade.
My xterms are all white on black. The exception is netscape which it
black on light-grey, because for some reason true-type fonts look
horrid the other way round.
