While you’re in Settings, also consider removing any email or calendar accounts still saved in the Mail, Contacts, Calendars section if this iPad is for reading, there’s no sense letting those apps gobble up extra bandwidth and battery. It’s a fine, battery saving choice, but then you have to remember to turn Airplane mode off again when you want to download more books. Your other option would be to enable Airplane mode whenever you’re reading-also from the Settings app-which would prevent your iPad from accessing the Internet.

Now, any apps that update in the background won’t splash a banner or alert across the screen when they do so. To prevent your iPad’s other apps from interrupting reading time, tap on each in turn, and set the Alert Style to None for every single app. That way, notifications won’t interrupt your reading. iOS 5 lacks a global switch for turning off notifications, so it’s a good thing you deleted a bunch of apps one paragraph ago-now you have less work on the Notifications settings screen.įor each app that can notify you, set the Alert Style to None. Head over to the Settings app and tap on Notifications. Once you’ve removed or hidden away potential app distractions, make sure that even the apps you’re not ready (or, in the case of iOS’s built-in apps, not able) to part with won’t distract you, either. If you’re hesitant to remove perfectly good apps that you just might want at some unspecified time in the future, at least consider combining all those apps into an iOS folder: That folder icon is far less tempting to tap on than, say, the silhouetted linksman gracing the icon of Super Stickman Golf.
If this iPad is to function successfully as an e-reader, it can’t hurt to remove Angry Birds, Words With Friends, or Facebook.
We’ll talk about which apps you will want on your e-reading iPad shortly, but first let’s talk about which apps you probably won’t need: Any others.
