A woman has shared that you may not be getting the full experience from your <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/entertainment\/books\">e-reader<\/a>, so there may be some settings that you want to change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Liv Charette demanded:\u00a0\u201cIf you\u2019ve recently got a <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/life-style\/science-technology\/2162869\/huge-change-amazon-kindle-could-change-the-way-you-read-books\">Kindle<\/a>, I\u2019m going to need you to change these three settings immediately.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>There are so many different ways that you can <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/life-hacks\">enhance your reading experience<\/a> on a Kindle, but she wanted to focus on these three first. They are:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<h3>1. Turn the clock on<\/h3>\n<p>Liv said: \u201cFirst, turn on the clock. I don\u2019t know about you, but I like to know what time it is. For some reason, Kindles always come with the clock off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;If you\u2019d rather just not know what time it is, and just get totally lost in a book, I love that for you. But it doesn\u2019t work for my Type A personality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ll be so immersed in my book at night that I\u2019ll end up reading until like 2 in the morning. So turning on the clock just helps me get my beauty sleep\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description dont-miss\">\n<p> <strong> READ MORE:<\/strong> <a data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/life-style\/life\/2171452\/woman-ominous-neighbour-note\"> Woman receives ominous midnight note from neighbour making 1 demand <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p><strong>How to apply the clock function<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>To turn on the clock while reading on a Kindle, open any book. Then, tap the top of the screen to open the menu.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Select the Aa icon, choose the More tab and toggle \u2018Show Clock While Reading\u2019 to on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>If you don\u2019t do this, the clock can be viewed by swiping down from the top of the screen \u2013 but it can get a bit clunky and annoying.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<h3>2. Pick a background<\/h3>\n<p>Liv urged people to \u201cput a cute little background\u201d on their Kindles to make the reading experience a whole lot better. Of course, you can get adorable cases, but having a nice background can make all the difference too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>The bookworm said:\u00a0\u201cWhile most of the screensavers are passable, I\u2019m a much bigger fan of seeing what book I\u2019m currently reading, because the covers are just so pretty.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>For most devices, you can do this by enabling the &#8216;Show Cover&#8217; feature in your settings. You&#8217;ll be able to find it in the Screen &amp; Brightness section.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>If you have a Kindle and opted for the ads experience, you won\u2019t be able to change your background. Instead, the ads for different books run when your Kindle is locked and not being used.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>If you want to change your background to reflect the book you\u2019re currently reading, you\u2019ll have to pay to upgrade for no adverts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Depending on the specific model, a Kindle without ads can cost anything from \u00a310 up to \u00a340. This can also be applied retrospectively if you change your mind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>So, if you\u2019d like to put a background on, it may be worth considering whether it\u2019s worth the extra money.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<h3>3. Turn on page refresh<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, Liv added: &#8220;While you\u2019re at it, make sure we have page refresh turned on so we don\u2019t get those gross little ink bleeds between pages. It\u2019s called ghosting or something like that\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Kindle ghosting is a common phenomenon in which faint remnants of previous pages, text, or images remain visible on the E-Ink screen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>It happens because E-Ink displays use tiny, physical ink particles that sometimes do not fully return to their original position on screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>It can be seriously annoying when you\u2019re trying to read the page you\u2019re currently on, but you can see remnants of the page you were on previously.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p><strong>How to turn on page refresh<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Go to Settings, then Reading Options and toggle Page Refresh on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>This forces a full-screen flash with every page turn to clear residues. It really is as easy as that!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/entertainment\/books\/2171815\/kindle-readers-change-3-settings\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your Kindle reading experience could be seriously enhanced (Stock Image) (Image: Getty) If you\u2019re a Kindle reader, you may want to listen up.
