Books use the color scheme they do because it's cheaper to print black ink on white paper than white ink on black paper. Digital displays don't have that limitation.

How about we really break the bank and just print an entire black page on white paper.

In all seriousness that's not usable because the ink will have a tendency to bleed and fill the voids that make up the letters.
