PER-BOOK SETTINGS

Change Per-Book Reading Settings

You can change reading settings for a single book without changing the defaults used by the rest of your library.

Per-book settings take priority over defaults

The default reading settings page notes that when a book has its own setting for an item, the per-book setting takes priority. The usual split is to keep your everyday preferences in the default reading settings and change only specific books with per-book settings.

01

PRIORITY

Per-book settings take priority

When a book has its own setting for an item, that per-book setting overrides the default. You can make one book easier to read without changing your global settings.

02

OPEN A BOOK

Open the book you want to adjust

First, open the book you want to adjust from your BlueReader bookshelf. Once the book is open, use the reader's reading settings to adjust the settings that apply to that book.

USE CASES

When per-book settings are useful

When one book needs a different layout from the rest of your library, change only that book so your other books keep their current settings.

  • Make the text larger for this book only
  • Change the margins for this book only
  • Change the line height or ruby size for this book only
  • Read this book with a different theme

WHICH SETTING

When to change the default reading settings

If you want to change the baseline for books you will read going forward, change the default reading settings instead. Keeping everyday preferences in the defaults and only overriding specific books per book avoids repeating the same adjustments each time you open a title.
