Welcome to the Future of Reading in New Zealand — where we build a strong reading culture by helping students read for pleasure, improve literacy, and create a reading habit through modern school libraries and a thriving school reading culture across New Zealand.

Why Boox eReaders Are Transforming Reading in Aotearoa New Zealand in 2025

Say goodbye to heavy books and eye-straining screens. In 2025, New Zealanders across Aotearoa New Zealand are choosing Boox eReaders to support the joy of reading, improve reading engagement, and remove barriers to reading in both homes and New Zealand schools.

Whether you’re a younger male secondary school student, a teacher, school staff, or part of a whānau wanting better access to books, Boox is helping to create readers and strengthen the school reading culture across Aotearoa.

From Mount Albert Grammar to Huntly College and beyond, schools are discovering that simply reading on eye-friendly E Ink devices supports learning to read, reading together, and building a love of reading for tamariki and teens alike.

1. Crystal-Clear E Ink Displays — Designed for the New Zealand Curriculum

Boox devices deliver paper-like reading that supports the New Zealand Curriculum, Te Mātaiaho, and Ready to Read programs. Schools using school reading culture review tools, school reading culture roadmaps, and the Communities of Readers Project are finding that students choose to read more when screens feel natural.

These eye-friendly displays help:

• Support students to read

• Reduce digital fatigue

• Improve the process of reading

• Encourage students to read for pleasure

Many library staff, school staff, and reading role models report that Boox supports reading engagement in well resourced school libraries — including the camera in the school library for scanning and sharing new books.

2. Supporting School-Wide Reading Culture Across Aotearoa

Boox supports the work of Te Puna, Te Awhi Rito Reading Ambassador, Pūtoi Rito Communities of Readers, and Te Reo-based literacy initiatives.

By enabling:

• Talking about books

• Running reading competitions

• Tracking they’re reading moments

• Helping staff to collaborate

Boox helps schools create a school-wide reading culture where leaders are readers and school for leaders programs thrive.

Research supported by the New Zealand Council for Educational Research and the Zealand Council for Educational Research confirms that reading can’t be left to chance — schools and communities must work together to remove barriers to reading and build a reading habit.

3. Digital Note-Taking for Learning, Literacy & Leadership

Boox supports teachers, principals, and learners — including leaders like Elizabeth Jones and the Principal of Huntly College — who want smarter tools for:

• Draft curriculum

• School reading culture review tools

• School reading culture roadmap

• Reading role models

• School staff planning

Students can annotate texts, talk about books, and take notes in Te Reo or English — supporting learning to read and reading engagement.

4. Android Power for Schools and Communities

Boox runs full Android, allowing New Zealand schools, library staff, and schools and communities to:

• Access e-books and PDFs

• Support students to read

• Run reading programs

• Connect whānau

• Promote access to books

This makes Boox ideal for schools using Ministry of Education literacy resources and digital platforms across Aotearoa.

5. Colour E Ink for New Books, Learning & Engagement

Colour E Ink supports:

• New books

• Textbooks

• Māori resources

• Visual learning

• Reading engagement

This helps especially with younger male secondary school students who need more visual, interactive ways to enjoy reading and develop a love of reading.
