What do you think of the latest Kindles. Worth the upgrade if you're already a Kindle user, or is it good enough to tempt you if you're not?
The latest #Kindle #Paperwhite is definitely worth the upgrade. That warm light. đ
@@dianemorasco It's AMAZING. I didn't think I cared when I bought it, but I do now.
@@KeliFancher I am addicted.
Thank you for this! I'm in the exact same situation (own an Oasis, looking at Paperwhite Signature) and this was SO helpful.
I am so glad it was helpful to you!
Great video - definitely leaning towards upgrading my old Paperwhite now! Thanks :)
Nice! I'm sure you won't regret it!
I've been using some old PaperWhite for almost a decade and I finally decided to upgrade. Super excited!
Literally motivated to do this by the fact that my sleep habits are awful, so I'm deciding to cut off all screens an hour before bed and do some reading instead, hopefully to get more quality sleep. I've always liked the convenience of an eReader and kudos to Amazon, my old PaperWhite is still going strong, but I don't have it on me! Being away for college, it's sitting back home. So I decided to look into getting a new one and the bigger screen, warm lighting, and improved PPI/contrast vs. my old one seem like a big enough upgrade that I pulled the trigger.
Nice!
This reply is late in coming, but I hope you've had time to enjoy the new Kindle now. Has it helped you get better with your sleep routine?
Thanks for watching.
@@KeliFancher I did this with my kindle voyager and noticed I start to fall asleep way faster and earlier than I did without. Sometimes I start to get tired 30 minutes reading before bed. I also don't feel so tired when I wake up either.
Excellent video; can't wait for the next one.
Let me guess... it's going to be something related with Readwise is it not? Maybe in conjunction with Notion?
I've been thinking in checking them out, but I am still trying to find a free option (maybe a Calibre add-on?)
Anyway, just wanted to say hi.
Hi!
I do use both Readwise and Notion, but neither one is critical to my note taking system for what I read. I only use Notion for project, task, and habit management.
I love Readwise, but I found if it's easy to let the same thing happen. You get a bunch of highlights and don't do anything with them. My system requires quite a bit of effort - but is definitely worth it.
I hope Amazon will release a new oasis. It seems unreasonable to buy a 2019 oasis vs 2021 paperwhite now.
Me to! If the new Paperwhite is this good, I can't wait to see their next stab at a premium Kindle.
I got the oasis, and I'm quite happy with it. Oddly enough I've actually been "reading" more with the speechify web service, especially if I need to get through the information fast and get the gist of it before deciding if i want to dive deeper into the content or not. Like every form of content, there are books which are just empty calories and not worth the page count tied to it, especially "info" books. So this helps me quickly skim or speed read through it.
Oh, absolutely true. I used to be a stickler for finishing every book I started. Now I'm happy to throw it aside if I deem it not being worth my time. In the same way, I'm happy to jump around in non-fiction to get the important bits and cut out the cruft.
As this is my first very own Kindle. I am very pleased with it. I used to read years ago some physical books and I have read a select very few on my iPhone but the experience is totally different. I am actually enjoying reading again. It's not a pain carrying around a book and it fits okay in my pocket. I have been reading more than I ever would if I didn't buy the kindle.
Yeah, I'm a big tech-person - but I've never enjoyed reading on the phone. The kindle is such a better experience.
Glad you're reading again! What are you reading now?
@@KeliFancher Allen Carrâs Easyway to control alcohol and to quit the digital addiction as well called, âSmart Phone, Dumb Phone. Truly eye opening experience. Itâs a must read for anyone that uses a smart phone
@@kiwi8476 đ I'll check them out, especially the second.
I should have jumped on the signature edition when it first came out, but I waited until Black Friday thinking it would go on sale, but they didn't put that one on sale :( So, I decided to go with the newest Oasis because I think the one handed grip for the Oasis is more fit to my style of holding my device. However, I still love my 2017 Kindle Paperwhite (despite how slow it is at everything) so I plan to continue to use it as well, depending on different scenarios. I mainly wanted to upgrade for Bluetooth compatibility for whispersync.
Oh no! Well at least it sounds like it ended well. Yeah, if you read one handed I think you'll be really happy with the Oasis.
I love the shape of the Oasis with its physical page turn buttons, so I won't be switching. In the next Oasis, I would like to see: 8-inch E-Ink Carta 1200 screen, stylus support for taking notes, USB-C, and Overdrive integration. Color would be nice as long as it does not compromise black/white text contrast or sharpness. I don't really care about wireless charging or 3G support.
All of those are great features, I wonder if Amazon's interested in making them though. Especially the stylus.
Do you hope to see a dedicated "Notebook" app that you can take freestyle notes? Or are you thinking mainly for PDF and ebook annotation?
I bought 2 Kindle Paperwhites as Xmas gifts for my nieces, and I had an Amazon gift card, so I got the Signature for me, with 3 months Kindle Unlimited. I knew I would like itâŠbut didnât know I would LOVE it. Had it about a week and have read three books.
That's great! Is this your first Kindle?
I love the physical buttons on the Oasis. Thatâs why I bought it when I already had the Paperwhite. I would miss those buttons.
I hear ya, that's why I bought the Oasis (well one of the reasons) in the first place. But I found most of the time I didn't use them đ€·ââïž.
@@KeliFancher I've missed my 3rd gen since the day it went missing. I am sorely tempted to buy the Oasis for the physical buttons alone, but damn they should just bring back the buttons on both side.... e-readers do not need to be touch screen.
@@KeliFancher because you left the touchscreen enabled. Good one, genius!
@@this.is.a.username this is what I've been trying so hard to get through this CZcams clown's head. Have Oasis? DISABLE TOUCHSCREEN
â@@danwilliams1920 đ€·ââI think it's just a misunderstanding, sorry for causing you so much trouble. But when it comes down to it I don't care about the page turn buttons. I'd love for the Paperwhite to have them, but for me (stressing that last point) it's not a dealbreaker. I'm not sure why you're going on about how disabling touchscreen in reading mode on the Oasis though. I used the buttons probably about half the time and touchscreen the other half. Why disable the touchscreen? Why not just not use it? I never had accidental page turns (or at least, very very seldom).
I upgraded my paperwhite 2 to the signature but had serious hand cramping due to smaller bezels. Was super bummed because I thought all the improvements made it perfect! I ended up âdowngradedâ to the oasis that I found preowned for a good price. Signature is going back to Amazon today!
Awe, that's too bad. Yeah, I'm fortunate that I haven't had that problem - but it's definitely important to get something that's doesn't fight against your body!

I just got the newest paperwhite, yes its a winner...over the years I had one of the first paperwhite - voyage with origami case (my favorite of all) and a oasis ....Ive been away from kindles and reading on my laptop and phone, its nice to be back to e ink
Yes! I do tons of reading on my computer, phone, and iPad. I love being able to relax w/ the Kindle afterwards. And I completely agree w/ the voyage and origami case. I wish they stuck w/ that over the Oasis line.
I own Kpw3, Kindle Voyage, Oasis 2,3, Pwt 5. I love Oasisâs physical buttons and design, as well as its glass screen and metal back, giving it just much more premium feel. voyage is like a squeezed size Oasis, it still has the clearest screen contrast and resolution. If Voyage line is still updating, it would clearly win Pwt series and even Oasis.
I agree, I loved the Voyage - wished they continued to update that vs the Oasis.
I also agree that the Oasis is the most premium feeling, but the Paperwhite is the most comfortable (for me). If I'm reading, that's what I care about.
Thanks for watching!
Get out of my mind! I've literally just been wrestling with the choice of a Paperwhite or Oasis so this video is very timely. I'm not looking to upgrade my own Paperwhite (although the quicker response time is tempting) but I'm deciding what to buy my mum for Christmas. I think I will go for the Oasis as she prefers physical buttons and the Oasis has two for page turning. I'm not a big fan of all the swipe controls in my Paperwhite as it doesn't feel responsive enough to make them work without some annoyance... I wish I had a physical button for going up one layer in a menu system, double press to reach the home page. I keep swiping up and changing the font size when I want to go to my library, etc.
My mum pointed out that arthritis and touch screen controls don't always work well together either, so it can also be an accessibility issue.
Yeah, they're both good (but completely different) designs. It sounds like your mother would definitely do better w/ an Oasis.
I liked the page turn buttons, but most of the time it was quicker for me to just tap the screen to switch pages. So I used them less and less over time.
I hear you on up/down buttons for the menu though. Scrolling up or down is the worst UI experience on the kindle. It feels completely unnatural.
Iâm disabled and the weight of books is why I love ebooks. There were just so many books I couldnât read due to my disability. I never hold my Kindle when Iâm in my home. I use a Flippy Fun Size to hold it. And I rarely ever touch the screen because I have a page turner. You may want to look into this for your mom. The clicker is big and requires practically no pressure to turn the page yet it isnât so easy that youâre constantly turning pages on itâs own. Iâm not affiliated with the company at all Iâm really love the product. I wrote a review of it.

My review: reddit.com/r/kindle/comments/of46xl/this_page_turner_is_the_real_mvp/
@@JBaby_9783 Thanks so much for the insight and recommendations... great to know these options exist, and I'm glad they've helped you! I ordered the Oasis and I'll see how my mum gets on. She does find books difficult to hold sometimes (hardbacks are generally too heavy) so the Kindle should already help.
none else is talking about it, but how did you set that beautiful page turn animation? or is automatic? a standard option in the new kindle
Hey Benjamin, thanks for watching. Yeah, at the moment the new page turn animation is limited to the new Paperwhites.
I can't remember if it's on by default, but you can find the setting in
1. "Aa" menu
2. "More"
3. "Page Turn Animation"
I upgraded my 2018 #Paperwhite to the Signature Edition 9 days ago and love it. đ Although, I am curious what the 2022 #Oasis will be or will they end production on them like the #Voyage? đ€
I hope they iterate on it and do another high end Kindle, I'd love to see what they can do with it if the Paperwhite is already so good.
@@KeliFancher I would like to see that as well. Happy reading, Keli. đ
I'm waiting for a Kindle with an 8-inch screen for more comfortable reading. Hopefully the new Oasis will be like that.
I have big expectations for the new high-end Kindle line after using this Paperwhite.
I'm the same I started with the keyboard. I'm waiting for this, hopefully my girlfriend will give it to me. I'll be downing from my Oasis 2019. Having seen what the PW does I'm stoned by how good it is. Plus the Oasis has cost me a scratched glasses lens!
Ouch! Yeah, I can see that. I had a couple accidents with my Oasis as well. That angular metal body can do some damage if you drop it.
Man, I'm antagonizing over whether or not I should get the Oasis or this new paperwhite. My main reading style is lying down, either holding up the device or using my tablet holder to go completely hands free (btw, these tablet holders are life changing. You never have to hold your device up.) Im worried that the Oasis would not fit well in my holder due to non uniform edges. I don't know for sure though. However, I would also would be interested in the Oasis buttons (even though I don't have any problem with touch controls). I like the idea of a more premium feel and glass display, but no matter what I'm going to probably use a case for my kindle, so I'm not sure whether I would even notice the build quality of Oasis. I'm attracted to the new page animation for paperwhite also. This is so tough. My brother is convinced that I would be making a mistake buying the paperwhite over Oasis, but he does own the Oasis so he is biased đ. Right now I placed an order for the paperwhite 8 gb since I want to ensure it gets here by mid December, but if I change my mind I can always cancel, which I already did with the Oasis. I'm so indecisive lol.
Well it sounds like you just need to buy the Paperwhite and then brag about how much fast the page turns are on your way cheaper Kindle đ.
Nah, honestly, whichever way you go I'm sure you'll be happy. I do _really_ like the new page turn animations though!
đ
Do you think the new Paperwhite will be on sale for Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
I really have no clue. It's so new and the SE seems to be back ordered till mid-December that I doubt it.
Good luck either way though!
Talking about ePubsâŠ. evidently Calibre (the book management software) âsupportsâ this Paperwhite now. Iâm not really sure what that means, because I thought you could always use Calibre with Kindle ebooks. idk.
Oh, interesting. Yeah, I don't know. It's been a while since I used Calibre, I wonder if Amazon changed something to make it harder with previous models. đ€·ââïž
@@KeliFancher I havenât tried to use it in quite a while. i never found it very intuitive. Plus, I simply didnât have alot of books that werenât Kindle books anyway.
@@jayvansickle7607 Yeah, that was my issue as well. I thought I'd start getting ebooks elsewhere. It just wasn't worth the hassle.
Calibre didnât support recognize the 11th Gen Paperwhite when you plugged it in. But Kovid fixed that right away. It wasnât released at the time when the new Paperwhites were released. But if you downloaded the beta it worked. Kovid released the new version 2-3 days later. It wasnât the big deal people made it out to be.
I gave a Like as Keli almost reply every comment, and politely.
I just bought the newest Paperwhite for kids for myself. I think it's most price value.
1) Exactly same device as Paperwhite.
2) free case
3) one year kids+ subscription with audible.
4) Two years worry Free warranty.
For kids+ subscription, if I don't active it when I setup my kindle, the device just exactly a 8GB Paperwhite, no different.
Hope this will give one more choice to everyone.
Thank you very much Tomibaba! Yeah, I try to reply to everyone's comments - they mean so much to me that I will continue to do that as long as it's feasible (though I am a bit behind).
Yeah, I didn't see the kids version when I purchased mine (not sure if it was even available on launch day) - it definitely is a great value!
Hey man, I personally want that Kobo Sage, do you need a logo design for your channel? I would love to make one for your channel!
It is a slick e-reader, I'd love to play with one in person at some point.
Wow! Thanks for the offer! I have a logo I'm using at the moment, not really looking to change yet. It's not prominently used, but should be seen at the bottom right of videos.
@@KeliFancher yeah!
Yeah I see it, it does looks like marijuana leaf tbh and not sure that was intended purpose, you can always contact me if you need a new logo! Cheer!
@@NetvoTV Ha! Not what I was going for.
I updated from my 2015 Kindle 8th gen to this 2021 Paperwhite 11th gen model yesterday (8/25/22). On Amazon they were offering a $25 trade-in for my old model making the cost of the new one only $76. So I assume they in turn are recycling these trade-ins for sale as ârefurbishedâ. At least I am pretty sure theyâre not tossing them in to the trash after giving you $25 for it. I updated not because of incremental upgrades but because of major upgrades. Much more text on screen, clearly noticeably faster (the latency on older models is annoying) and sealing it for me⊠dark mode. I read a lot at night in bed. Dark mode alone made the decision for me.
Nice! Yeah, I don't find myself using dark mode much - but when I do it's _really_ handy.
I love my SE. Like you I absolutely hate the ads and I donât want to have contact customer support and hope I get a rep who will remove them for free. So for me the $139 PW was never an option. I donât need 32GB but I also donât need 8GB so for me the storage factor was a wash. I really wanted the light sensor sensor because I want the experience Iâm used to from my iPhone and iPad Pro. Plus Iâm lazy and I donât want to have to do it myself anymore. I donât have an opinion on wireless charging. Itâs there so Iâll use it. I did get the dock though. It will be nice to look at my current book cover while it charges. My SE and dock were an early Christmas gift from my Mom. Iâve upgraded from the 2019 Basic Kindle. This is a great video and your facts are correct. Many people are making videos about this device and they donât even have basic facts correct.
Haha! You'd think basic facts would be a prerequisite :-).
Thanks for watching and adding all your thoughts. That's an awesome gift! I'm not planning on getting the dock, but I can see it being really cool - maybe by the bedside w/ a kindle waiting for you until the next evening.
@@KeliFancher Yes! One of the reviews here says the USB-C cable is charge only. How would that ever make any sense since Amazon lets you transfer books and fonts? I can forgive BookTubers getting facts wrong because they are giving an emotional review about how they love the device. But people who claim to be techies canât be forgiven at all. They have one job to do. Once I find a few mistakes it makes me question the entire review.
I do have my dock on my nightstand! When my SE is charging it looks like photo in a frame. Itâs really awesome. I never wouldâve bought the SE/dock for myself so my Mom is the best! She said sheâs an Apple nerdâs mother and Apple nerd moms know that she got off cheap this year. We Apple nerd kids have expensive taste. Sheâs not wrong! đ€Łđđ
@@JBaby_9783 Haha! Yep, she got off easy. The Kindle SE is nothing compared to Apple gear.
You guys with the Paperwhite, do you use a case or not? It's a bit of a fingerprint magnet don't you think?
It is absolutely a fingerprint magnet, never had a device which was worse. But I donât mind, I just have a slip case I slide it in for travel
Amazon is adding that epub support now đ*
* kinda
*kinda
I really didn't expect it, it's not the ideal support - but at least it's a start.
I could get the Oasis through Amazons Refurbished Program even cheaper than the new Paperwhite. Many people are now praising the paperwhite over the Oasis, but I never know how much of this ratings is because of the price. Anyone here to tell me what they would do in my situation? I like the design of the Oasis and the physical buttons, but the new Paperwhite is now faster than the Oasis, isn't it? Will that be noticeable?
Sorry for the later reply, I'm not sure if you've made a decision or not but here's my thoughts.
If the two devices were the same cost, I personally would still go with the Paperwhite. As I mentioned in the video USB-C port, faster page turns, and more comfortable design all make the Paperwhite a winner for me.
That said, I really do miss the page turn buttons - and if that's an important feature for you then you should get the Oasis. It's my belief that you won't notice the different page turn speeds unless you have them side-by-side.
I am looking forward to seeing what Amazon does with the premium Kindle line in the future.
Ebook readers can potentially save CO2 but not if you constantly upgrade them every time Amazon launches a new reader. The fundamental technology is identical. Save the planet and stop buying incremental updates.
You might have missed it, as it was only a brief comment at the beginning, but I haven't updated since 2017. I haven't seen the need, but the 2021 Paperwhite adds a feature really important to me. Sorry if I misunderstood the comment though.
@@KeliFancher That's pretty good. There was a report recently that specified holding on for 5 or 6 years. I still have my Voyage but it's frankly unacceptable that replaceable batteries aren't supported. The next time I'll change will be for a high quality colour model. Nice review btw.
@@modulouniverse7029 Thanks! Yeah, I'm definitely guilty of upgrading some of my tech gear more often than I need. I try to be responsible about passing down my older stuff to family members or people I know could benefit from it (but that's always been a thing for me, if it's still good - why scrap it?). Even so though, I definitely buy too much. In the realm of books though, I can honestly say I never once thought about environmental repercussions when getting my Kindle. It was done for convenience, especially while traveling.
I updated from my 2015 Kindle 8th gen to this 2021 Paperwhite 11th gen model yesterday (8/25/22). The saving the planet part is still in play here I think, because on Amazon they were offering a $25 trade-in for my old model making the cost of the new one only $76. So I assume they in turn are recycling these trade-ins for sale as ârefurbishedâ. At least I am pretty sure theyâre not tossing them in to the trash after giving you $25 for it. Also, I updated not because of incremental upgrades but because of major upgrades. Much more text on screen, noticeably faster (the lag on older models is annoying) and sealing it for me⊠dark mode. I read a lot at night in bed. Dark mode is highly desirable.
I have the 2nd Oasis now and I have been thinking about buying this new paperwhite. The main reason is a colour temperature option.
It's really nice. I didn't think I'd care too much about it, but it does seem more pleasant to read w/ warmer hue at night.
Some "idiot" left his Oasis in the back of his truck and it flew off to be run over by a long line of traffic. So I .. I mean, some "idiot" looked at the Oasis vs the new Kindle. Don't need audio book support, and don't want to spend full price for a new Oasis. I am very pleased with the features of the newest Kindle -- maybe not a new feature but I set it up to display the cover of the book I'm currently reading. Small thing but very cool. I plan to keep the kindle away from trucks and idiots though.
Ah, I'm so sorry you had that experience with that unfortunate individual.
Like yourself, I have one who tends to follow me around daily and rears his ugly head from time to time đ .
They're going to release a color kindle. Probably it will be the Oasis.
I would be excited to see that. I'm not sure if I really have a use for a color Kindle, but I'm sure cool things can be done w/ it. I still want it though.
the paperwhite has a big problem for me , the bezel left and right is far to thin now, I tried and found myself to often touching the screen turning pages without wanting too, I hate this, the reading experience was more annoying than on the older paperwhite. Also the Oasis has the power on top which is more convenient. I am going to wait for an Oasis 2022. So I disagree, the papaerhite 2021 is not handsdown the better device, the reading experience is still superior on the Oasis. Is it worth the price difference, probably not, but if one can wait a few month, the new Oasis is not far away anymore ... or wait for a discount stock sale ... :) (oh the Oasis has less weight too ...)
Hey Careoran, thanks for taking the time to watch my video and send your thoughts. I think a lot of it comes down to how you read. For me, the Paperwhite is definitely more comfortable to hold than the Oasis ever was. I do stand by saying that having USB-C and the faster screen make it the better device though.
I'm curious, I've seen several people mention the power button placement on the Paperwhite. Why does it bother you where it is? I don't understand why it's such a big deal?
is there any text to speech with any of these?
Yes, some Kindle models support a feature called VoiceView which is text-to-speech. You'll have to make sure your Kindle is compatible: www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=202051830
You forgot to mention that there's Kindle PPW Kids edition which I think the best deal among the three edition.
I definitely did, or at least was unaware of that package deal at the time. A couple of other viewers mentioned it - definitely seems like the way to go.
But that kindle have just light? or its like a cell phone? i dont want to kill my eyes even more lol.
Kindles have an eink screen. Traditional screens are backlit (the light comes from behind the screen). E-ink screens are front lit, so it's more like a traditional reading experience. You can also turn off the front light completely making it similar to a piece of paper.
I really wish there was a Kindle Paperwhite that is small and has buttons. This new iteration is the opposite of that. I'm sticking with my Oasis 1, which is small and has buttons đ§đ€
I was just thinking the other day that I'd love a smaller kindle, something easily pocketable. But I guess I should just use my phone for that đ€·ââïž.
I'm less picky about the buttons. I like them, but they're no longer need to haves for me.
Finally Amazon adds ePub support, right?
Absolutely! I just wish it was more fully integrated.
Rythm of war FTW Hoaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know it!
Lightning is not superior, it is slow as hell. 80 times slower. Lightning is basically micro usb 2.0 with fancy shape
Sorry, I should have been clearer. I was referring to the physical connector itself, not the pin layout or data speeds. Lightning is much more rigid and has proven to be more robust in my experience, whereas USB-C connectors fail more frequently (even from trusted companies).
@@KeliFancher it is by design. It is much better when connector itself fails, instead of a socket, it is easier to replace a cable.
â@@726f6f74 Obviously this is just my own experience, but I've never had a lightning socket fail but I've had several USB-C failures.
so the point of buying a Oasis 3 is just for collection lol
Ha! No, I'm not much of a tech collector and usually offload my old gear as quickly as possible. I usually pass my Kindle down to a friend or family member.
Oasis should be upgraded to color e-ink.
I'd be up for that! I can't wait until a color e-ink Kindle comes out. Not sure how much use I'd have for it, but I'd still be interested.
that lame plastic case of the paperwhite and plastic screen is a deal breaker for me. still feels cheap
Absolutely!
Thanks for watching!
Lol, you were using your Oasis wrong, buddy. How do I know? Because there's no way anyone would switch to the Paperwhite after manhandling the Oasis.
On Oasis, you're supposed to disable the touchscreen during reading sessions. XD. And this is why Oasis is the best eReader there is. It's okay, Amazon has always left it to users to figure out.
đ€Ł. Thanks for schooling me on how to use the Oasis.
@@KeliFancher Yeah, laugh away, buddy. I'm not the one who spent 200 bucks on an Oasis, only to hold it like an idiot then complain about it in a video.
Laugh away, but I repeat: you've been doing it wrong. Now try it the right way, superstar. đ€Ł
@@danwilliams1920 You seem really passionate about this, I guess that's good đ€·ââ. But maybe I'm not understanding the issue - I liked and enjoyed the physical page turn buttons on the oasis. I just prefer the feel of the current Paperwhite better.
I have the Oasis 3 and I held it correctly. Still switched to the new Kindle Paperwhite 5. I havenât reached for the Oasis since getting the new paperwhite. Itâs a presence thing. Iâm laughing that you donât grasp the concept of personal preference.
i like you keli
This comment made my day, thank you!
Stupid to compare it to a device years out of date already
Sorry to disappoint you!
For my own use, I didn't find there to be any compelling differences in the 3rd gen Oasis compared to the 2nd. This Paperwhite though had what I was looking for and beats the Oasis 2 (and 3) in my book, hands down.
All the best.
Kobo > Kindle
I've heard that from several people, but never got a really good answer.
What do you like better?
@@KeliFancher Good question. When doing research prior to buying an e-reader, I wanted something higher end, but didn't want to break the bank. The Kobo Libra H20 for example is very comparable to the Oasis (same shape, size, same buttons, etc.) but is cheaper.
I didn't like how Amazon locks you into its ecosystem (I believe it mainly reads ".azw" files by default), has ads that you have to pay to remove, etc. I also liked that, on the Kobo, you could swipe up and down to change the brightness, instead of having to go into the setting. I also believe that the battery life on the Kobo is better. I think the Oasis has a better adaptive brightness/colour temperature, but overall, I thought the Kobo offered a better value. My humble opinion.
@@theoa126 Nice! Thanks for your thoughts. I didn't know about that brightness control gesture, seems like that could be useful.
Yeah, my biggest complaint of the Kindle is the locking to the azw files - if anything drew me to Kobo it'd be not having to deal with that.
Horrible review. 99% was a video of your face and not the Kindles. Thumbs down.
Iâm sorry it wasnât what you were looking for.
@@KeliFancher It wasn't what anyone was looking for. A video product review should show the product and not your face.
@@MrWhaatay I'm still working on improving these, sorry it didn't meet your approval.
