Ipad Mini 6 Review News App (Image credit: Adam Oram / iMore) The iPad mini 6's multi-touch LED display can do it all. While E Ink is terrific for battery life, it's not great for scrolling or displaying much other than text. More than just booksĮven though Focus can lock down your iPad (and other devices) to offer a dedicated reading experience, you still have a fully-featured tablet at the end of the day.Īs well as reading words on a page, you can use your iPad mini 6's Liquid Retina display to read other visual media like magazines, comics, your favorite websites, email newsletters, and more. With Focus, you can achieve notification-free zen status everywhere with one tap. Just because you have your Kindle or Kobo in hand doesn't mean your phone or Apple Watch can't ping you. If used correctly, I think a Focus mode serves just as well for this purpose and even goes one better by syncing your notification settings across your Apple devices. That means, as soon as you open the Books or Kindle app, you can have the system automatically turn off any alerts you don't want to see.įocus mutes alerts on all of your devices.įans of dedicated e-readers often espouse the unitasking nature of a device like the Kindle as a real plus point since it removes any opportunity to be distracted. Better yet, Focus allows you to set a particular Focus based on what app is in use.

You might just put it at 10 minutes per day, but keeping that daily streak going is pretty motivating and adding books to your list of finished titles feels like a real achievement. Here, you can set daily and yearly targets to encourage you to read more often.
In the Apple Books app, there's a similar, if a little more basic, offering in the form of Reading Goals. Maybe it's my dumb brain, but something like a goal, streak, or digital medal is more than enough to get me to change my behavior which is why the Apple Watch activity rings have clicked so well for me. I don't know about you, but to form a habit, I need some reward. With True Tone, you even get a page that is easy on the eye no matter your lighting conditions.
It's also a backlit display, unlike many (but not all) e-readers or, you know, actual paper books that rely on external light to make them readable. Ipad Mini 6 Reading (Image credit: Adam Oram / iMore)
