How to Improve Reading on the Kindle with These Settings

You may have much more time to read and enjoy your books now, and chances are, if you have them in electronic format, you will enjoy them on a Kindle device . If this is the case, today we are going to tell you some options that hide the screen settings of your ebook reader so that you can read more comfortably.

The Amazon Kindle, the kings of the party

It is true that there are several alternatives to the Kindles -which we have already told you about- that are equally valid and decisive, but we must recognize the merit of Amazon: when talking about an e-book reader in what first in what you think is your brand.

Many years of improvements in their models and an important offer of books behind them have made the Kindle position itself as a true reference when it comes to talking about e-readers and the favorite option of many when taking the step to electronic ink. And that is its main advantage over tablets or mobile phones when reading. The e-ink technology allows us to enjoy equipment with screens that are as comfortable for the eyes as paper and that also last days and days without draining the battery.

Precisely from said panel we come to talk to you now. The Kindle has several adjustment options, some very obvious, and others that perhaps you had not even considered modifying. Let’s get to know them and learn how to control them to read and visualize your team’s content much better .

Screen settings on Kindle

Here we indicate the screen adjustment options that you can do on your Kindle to modify its display. Do not forget that you can complement these settings with the tips to make better use of the Kindle that we told you recently – in fact, one of those tips, that of changing the letter and size is also inevitable to comment on here. Help yourself.

Automatic brightness control

This is a basic that you should know how to control but it never hurts to review it. It turns out that in addition to being able to manage the light intensity of your Kindle screen, the Oasis model can also use automatic brightness. With it, it will be the device that controls the lighting of your screen (always around the parameter you have marked) to better adjust to the environment and, incidentally, save some battery.

Kindle - Settings

  • How to access: From any screen on the Kindle, tap on the Settings wheel drawing at the top, and select the “Automatic brightness” box on the right, on the lighting progression bar.
  • What model is available : only on the Kindle Oasis.

Night light

This option is also only available on the Kindle Oasis and allows you to automatically and dimly regulate the light at night so that your eyes get used to it. Pursue greater reading comfort and less eye strain as sight adjusts to darkness .

Kindle - Settings

  • How to access: you touch the Settings wheel, go to Device Options, then Screen Settings and activate (or deactivate) the Night Light option.
  • What model is available : only on the Kindle Oasis.

Inversion of black and white

You may not know it, but on Kindle there is the option of inverting black and white colors. Instead of having a clear screen and black letters, do the opposite ( read white text on a black background ). It is not the best option if you are looking to save battery, since it consumes it faster, but if it is not a problem for you, you can turn the screen display style of your Kindle.

Kindle - Settings

  • How to access: you touch the Settings wheel and choose Accessibility. Within its options you will see “Invert black and white” which by default will appear disabled. Touch it and change the colors.
  • What model is available : Kindle Oasis and Kindle Paperwhite.

Adjustable warm light

Again the Oasis is the only one benefited from this option (it is what you have to be the top of the three models in the family). Also, not just any Oasis – you must have the latest generation available. It is the adjustable warm light that allows you to regulate the tone of the screen (as if it were that of your phone or tablet, yes) and choose from a white light to an amber light.

Kindle Oasis - Warm Light Adjustment

  • How to access: From any screen on the Kindle, tap on the Settings wheel drawing at the top. You will see that below the brightness level you have the option to control how hot or cold you want the screen.
  • What model is it available : Only on the Kindle Oasis 10th generation (2019 model).

Customize type, size and line spacing

We cannot close the display tips, as we anticipated at the beginning, without adjusting the font size, type or even how together you see the lines of text. After all, these factors also influence how comfortable you will be reading the screen.

Kindle - interface

  • How to access: From any text you have open, touch at the top of the screen. Enter “Aa Appearance of the page”. In the drop-down you can choose whether you want a Compact, Standard or Large line spacing , while in «Font and page settings» you will have access to nine different fonts , the bold type and the font size . Go testing until you find what best suits you.
  • What model is available : on all Kindle.
