There is nothing better than curling up in bed with an e-reader and settling into a good book. However, reaching for the screen can break your concentration or even wake you up if you are trying to stay in the dark. This is where the Boox Tappy comes in. You can prop your Boox e-reader on a pillow right in front of your face and keep your hands tucked under the covers, using only the Tappy to progress through your story. It is the ultimate way to enjoy a late-night read without moving an arm. I even tested this on a train with the Go 10.3 on the table in front of me. Even with my hands tucked in my pockets, I could flip through pages without ever having to touch the screen. It’s like a magic trick.
