I've recently started using an e-ink tablet, which is much nicer to view using the Light theme. On all other devices (desktop, phone) the Dark theme is better. Unfortunately the theme setting is locked to the account, rather than the account + device, so is applied across all devices and doesn't (as far as I can tell) have an option of only setting a theme on a specific device.
Similarly, the reading settings would also be better to be per device, since what looks comfortable might vary based on the screen you're looking at it on. (This is honestly less of an issue than the theme.)
I think ideally you'd have a descending hierarchy of how these settings are applied:
Global defaults
Account setting
Device override
The UI probably doesn't need to change - the existing "Use Default" could set the default for the account, and "Apply" only applies the setting for the device. Storing the settings in localStorage or similar would probably work for keeping them on a specific device; since they're per device I don't think they'd have to be saved back to the server.
Hopefully I haven't missed something and it's already possible to do this in some way!
