Why Tablet Reading Modes Look Different Outdoors
A display's coating, brightness and color settings all affect how easy a page is to read.
An emissive screen competes with sunlight using its own light output. A reflective coating or matte surface can change how much of the surroundings the reader sees in the glass.
A warmer color mode may make the screen feel softer indoors, but it does little to remove a strong reflection. Higher brightness can also increase heat and battery use.
Read the same page by a window and outdoors at the angle you usually hold the device. Check small text and images, since a mode that helps one may make the other harder to see.
