My favorite settings to adjust on a Boox e-reader

I love e-readers like a Kindle or Kobo because within minutes of turning them on, you can be reading.

But I also appreciate the versatility of Boox e-readers , which run on Android and offer readers so much flexibility.

With a Boox e-reader, you're no longer trapped in one e-reader's system.

Unlike Kobo and Kindle, Boox e-readers are a little less straightforward.

Technically, they're E Ink tablets running Android and capable of so much more, but that also means there are more settings and features to dig through.

There's a little bit of a learning curve on the Boox, which is initially off-putting.

But now that I'm well acquainted with all the settings on a Boox, I really love using this e-reader.

So if you just got a Boox tablet or are looking forward to grabbing the new Palma 3 , here are my favorite settings to change on the device.

Turn off gestures and add the bar at the bottom You can control your Boox through gestures or a navigation bar, and I much prefer the latter.

When you set up a Boox, the system prompts you to pick between gesture navigation and a navigation bar.

While the gesture system works similarly to what you use on a smartphone or tablet, the navigation bar is far more convenient.

It puts common menus like a home button or an option to see all your open apps within reach.

You can even customize the navigation bar in system settings.
