Choose the sleep timer (the moon) in the bottom bar and pick how long LuceVoce should keep reading: 5, 10, 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, or to the end of the chapter. It stops on its own when the time is up.

Set a sleep timer

  1. In the bottom bar, choose the sleep timer button, the moon. It shows Off when no timer is set.
  2. Pick one of the options:
    • 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes or 60 minutes.
    • End of chapter: reading stops when the current chapter ends.

The button counts down the time left, for example 12:30, or shows Chapter end.

Turn the timer off

  1. Choose the sleep timer button again.
  2. Choose Off.

Good to know

  • The sleep timer works for audiobooks too.
  • The timer wins over the queue: when it stops the reading, the next book in the queue does not start. A timer in minutes that is still running carries on into the next book. See Line up books to read next.
  • When books are queued, the sleep timer's menu ends with Next in queue and the next book's title, to open it at once.
  • On iPhone and iPad the timer keeps counting while LuceVoce plays in the background or the screen is locked.
