On the example of ONYX BOOX Viking

I can’t imagine my life without reading. A few years ago I bought my first e-book and my reading habits totally changed.
ONYX BOOX Viking is a premium class reader with an aluminium case (tactile sensation is very important for me — I hate plastic).
Warm temperature is another special feature — you can choose cold or warm brightness depending on your lightning conditions. It’s really important when you prefer reading before bedtime.
I’m a digital designer and I see typography everywhere. I don’t like default fonts in AIReader X Pro, the reading app I always use. I have found a way to add any custom font to e-book.
- Choose ‘Storage’ section (💾 in the footer menu) > then ‘Storage’ folder.
- Create a new folder (📁 in the top right corner) and call it ‘fonts’ (use small letters — it’s important).
- Download a font you like and put it into the folder. You can use otf/ttf formats (I tried both ones — it works).
- Restart your e-book and choose a new font in your reading app settings. Enjoy reading!
