The default theme is 'White', providing a bright, traditional reading experience. However, Apple Books also offers a 'Dark' theme, which switches the background to black and text to white, mimicking the appearance of a printed page in low light and reducing eye strain during nighttime reading. Some users might find this theme more comfortable for late-night reading.
