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.
