You're so easy to listen to. I really enjoyed your review. The way to talk is captivating. Thank you!
From looking at the thumbnail, I seriously thought this was Bill Gates lol
Me to, but surprise it comes better.
Me too, I thought he was going to talk about the covid vaccine!
Turned out to be Gill Bates
I thought he was the MacTini guy.
Good choice!
You sound like a professor, whose lectures would be so interesting and easy to follow. Great comparison!

Абсолютно согласен. Хочется чтобы у него были онлайн лекции по литературе.
The glasses convinced me your expert on reading...
Solid review I feel you covered everything i needed to know thank you. Your voice also is very enjoyable to listen to.
This is precisely what I was looking for and needed! Plus your voice is effortless to listen to
My old 2013 Paperwhite started to slow down dramatically so instead of resetting the whole thing I decided it was time to upgrade.
But now, it’s not as easy to choose as it once was!
So I started looking at videos to research ....but after seeing several....I still could not decide.
Then I ran into the Master.
Should have known!
Nobody - absolutely NOBODY -covers The Kindle better, and I could have saved time searching for “Len” instead of “ kindle reviews”.
Ordered the new Paperwhite yesterday.
Thanks Len - brilliant job as always!
I was searching for the video like this to know thoroughly about various models of kindle to buy one of them. Your way of explanation is very simple and superb Mr. Len Edgerly.
A brilliant distinctive elaborated review. Appreciate the effort.
This is my friend's second Kindle. czcams.com/users/postUgkxOnUR4NaproSbBbD2sdI4XcDZ58Jz8GOx The first one which is about 5 or 6 years old quit charging because the bottom connector went bad. When I saw they upgraded to a USB C connector I knew it was time. I think the old USB Micro connectors are a PIA. Her new one is great. It synced right out of the box and connected to WiFi immediately. The thing is perfect! Sooo mine will arrive tomorrow. (Been reading off an old Fire) What bugs me are the reviewers that give this product one star because it didn't work out of the box or they were too dumb to figure it out. If it doesn't work send it back and get another one. It couldn't be easier with Amazon. Giving it one star because it didn't work says nothing about a good one that does work. I bet a bad one is one in a thousand or more. Give it a break...just get another one.
I've already made my decision but still enjoyed watching this.
Same. Is my case
Thank you for taking the time to make this! You mentioned one thing with the Paperwhite I've not seen anyone talk about before and that's the smooth screen. The dust build up on my basic drives me nuts so next time I upgrade I'll go for a Paperwhite.
Start saving now and get the oasis! Its worth it when you think about how long you will be using it
@@apairon2 What makes it worth it?
Very informative review, thanks so much!
Brilliant review thank you! I wholeheartedly agree with the page scrolling on oasis, that few seconds saved really makes a huge difference on the reading experience!
Great comparison and well summarized. Nicely organized and succinctly presented. I definitely appreciate it. 👍
This's a great review, thanks for the effort!
Best comparison video; this is the one that helped me decide.
@Name Unidentified he decided to stop reading

@@richardbrown7441 WTF? :D
Thank you for the review! God Bless you and your family! I pray that you all stay safe.
Many people overlook the weight and the distribution of it and it is really important if you want to read for prolonged periods of time. Thanks for the review. I have two paperwhites but I want to buy the new model that is waterproof, i love trekking and camping so it may be a good upgrade.
Awesome video - very informative and thorough.
I completely agree with your thoughts on page turning buttons! I cannot have and will not have a kindle without the buttons. Excellent reviews and advice!!!
I have been using a kindle for about 11 years, and I agree, I always have a case, to protect the screen when I have the kindle in my wheelchair bag. I don't got anywhere with out my kindle. I used to have to carry multiple paper books, especially when going to the VA hospital, that was usually a 3-5 day stay. I tend to read about a novel a day under usual circumstances. when I am stuck in the hospital I can read closer to 8-10 books a week, as there is absolutely nothing else to distract my mind. my current kindle died after 6 years of hard use, so I just ordered a new paperwhite.
It was a pleasure to listen to you, Len. I enjoyed your well thought out comparison of Kindles with the bonus material about their competitors. I feel the same way you do about page turning buttons, a feature I miss from my old Sony reader. However, my hands are so small I think the larger width would take away some of the pleasure of reading with one hand. I inadvertently discovered that by looking at your hands holding the Kindles. Thank you for this comprehensive review, from a new subscriber.
Excellent video and very informative. Well done, sir!
Thank you so much. You helped me decide which one is better for me . I was gonna order the oasis but now I know that I prefer the paperwhite
Thank you for this informational review of the Kindle’s.
thank you so much for this review,it really helped me decide which kindle to buy! :)
Thank you for the information! Very thorough, it’s the little quality of life things people never talk about and make all the difference.
Such a great video! You’re so thorough.
Thank you very much for your review. Very nicely organized, great to listen to. :)
Dear Len I'm French and yet I'm an English teacher in France! Thanks a lot for your precise e kindle book! Laurent from South of France
This was so useful, thanks 🙏🏻
I honestly think this is the best review/comparison on CZcams. Not just for Kindles but for anything. You covered and clearly showed/explained what people are interested in
Thanks very much!
@@LenEdgerly do you have any books you would recommend? I’m just getting into reading. I’m interested inFiction or fact. Maybe you have a video on books I’ve missed?
Great comparison! I enjoy your videos!
You were right about the Oasis update, they updated it with a warm light filter only a month after this video..
Excellent comparison. Thank you!
I like the explanation of the buttons and why you like them. My boyfriend is the same. I'm more of a kobo user, but I love to watch these comparison videos
Thank you for a very informative review - that gets to the point.
Many thanks Len Edgerly, i decided to choose Kindle PPW4
8:35 actually, that's amazing.
i love how kids at their young age start to like reading. great!
Thanks, very interesting!
With regard to the e-ink tablet for writing notes. I have bought «paperlike» screen protector for my ipad, which changes the feel completely, regarding how it feels to write or draw on it. I haven’t tried an e-ink note-taking tablet, but I don’t feel a need for it either.
Thank you for your review. I really liked it, to the point and informative. I'm planning to get an oasis for myself.
Glad to hear it!
Fantastic review. I am gifting this to my dad who is having a hard time reading books now and your video helped me decide. Thanks! (I'd enjoy a Kindle Writer myself. :) )
Thank you so much for this video! It was very well done!
thank you, great video. I think the weight of the Fire HD 8 makes it prohibitive as a daily reader. Do you use the Paperwhite for audible books at all? if so how does it hold up? I use my fire hd 8 for audible books with a small bluetooth speaker. I'm keen to see what Kobo has to offer, my wife uses a Clara HD.
Crisp and detailed... Excellent review.
Great review, thanks, have the original kindle w. keyboard, the paperwhit and paperwhite with light, totally convinced to get a oasis as I feel, like you, the immersion is interrupted when you press the screen!
That was a really good review thank you
Great review, Im trying to choose which e-reader, but that reMarkable table has taken my interest , looks fantastic
Thank for this. Very clear and helped me make a decision.
Still debating on the Paperwhite and Oasis.....great video thnx
Great review. Thanks from the UK.
Thanks for the review.
Did you also consider the Onyx boox note pro for writing?
Hi Len, great review. I really like the leather cover you use for your oasis. Would you let me know what brand it is? Thanks!
Very informative and helpful! Thank you for the review. However, could you please share the link from which you get the cover for the Oasis3? I find it unique and elegant but can't find it anywhere online.
It looks lile amazons official leather case. I dont think they make the cases like that anymore. They now fully cover the back of the hump and look like they stay on place better. You can see in the video where the oasis wants to fall out of the case
Wife and I upgraded to Oasis from Kindle 3rd gen and the difference in screen resolution is a huge difference to us. I love reading before bed and the Oasis makes it so easy and comfortable. I use Calibre to organize my library on my PC and sync with my Oasis. In case someone doesn't know you can download your purchased amazon kindle books by going to the amazon website and navigate to Manage Device Content. I like to download my AZW3 files and load in Calibre to manage a more expansive library.
I had the oasis but if you take the bus some people think it is a tablet which puts you at more risk to get attack so I would go with the paperwhite kindle. Having a phone out to read your kindle books is also not a good idea if you have to take a bus especially late at night.
Great video, super helpful...thanks!
0:08:20 - I also prefer the page turn buttons on my Kindle 4th gen. I don't want to see any finger prints on the page as I'm reading.
I had to upgrade from my poor fourth gen the screen started getting a black spot so I couldn’t read on it anymore so I got the new 10th gen 2019
Super video thanks a lot Mr Edgerly !
Just seen this excellent video, Len! Great to see your personal arsenal of tablets - as at June 2020, are you still using all of them? Also, are you still using the ReMarkable? I've just purchased one :) Many thanks!
I have a couple of questions.
I read a lot of novels and pocket books, but might also be reading a lot of modules and textbooks in the future for my graduate studies. A tablet, I think, is still better for textbooks and PDFs. So my question, is the e-ink Kindle screen really healthier for the eyes than the iBooks customizable screen (you can also adjust the brightness, font, background, etc.) on an iPad? If yes, is it worth it to buy the two devices, or will I be okay with just an iPad since I'm reading a variety of formats?
Nice review. Thanks. I bought a 2019 Paperwhite. I prefer this to the Oasis because I prefer holding it in one hand. As of December 2019, there are no cases available for this aside from the pouch style.
Thank you, this has been very helpful.
Thanks for the Informative video.
Hey Len, than you so much for a wonderful review! You really helped me. :) Could you share the brand of your oasis case? I loved it and can't find anything like it!
Very nice review...has helped me to decide, on which best for me to buy..thanks *
Thank you! This is the review I needed it! I really want the oasis but it hurts to pay that much :( I'll probably get the paperwhite:)
Just keep saving! I remember when i was a kid i had to cut grass for family for dirt cheap to save up for a ps2. I eventualy got one and still have it to this day. Its worth it to take the time to save up for what you want. Just put some up every check and you will have it before you know it
Did you do any reviews on Remarkable as an ereader and how that compares to the Kindle vs iphone or ipad
Awesome review!
nice work Len , I guess I'll go with the basic kindle since I don't read much and this is my first one
Is the oasis faster than the paperwhite in terms of turning pages? And pressing buttons?
Possibly, but not enough of a speed advantage that I notice it.
This is a really clear and comprehensive review! I'm close to buying a Paperwhite but I'm worried that as soon as I get it theyll release the gen 11... but if you keep waiting for the next new thing you'll be waiting forever. Oh well
Nah buy the 10th newer versions are not always better than the older ones. It happens with cellphones too
Great review! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the effort. Could you please let me know which book we are looking at in your kindles ... To change to be alive...thanks
I came looking for some basic comparison but you actually sound like some kind of professor or something, good stuff in this video!
Such a first world problem! ;-) My personal favourite is an "old" hd6 fire. It fits in my jacket pocket, the screen resolution is excellent, and I can not only read, but do so much more. Why don't they make them anymore?
very nice and informative comparison thank you. could you tell me which tablet you showed in the video on which you took your notes?
The reMarkable tablet, first edition. There is a new one coming it soon that looks even better, reMarkable 2 - remarkable.com/?msclkid=f03ea91cd5c217165d26f633ce336691
Hey thanks for helping to make up my mind on the which kindle is probably good for me. BUt my favorite thing came at the end. The Remarkable... too cool! I will have to wait a bit and anyway the next one won't deliver till october but the Remarkable 2 looks amazing! That is on my "get this next"list :-)
What book is shown at 2:06? that page really interested me. Thank you! Good video!
wonderful review
Great review! What's the name of the Oasis cover that you're using?
Thanks for the review Len.. Do any of the E-readers have sound? It would be good to know if I can switch from text to audio.
Ezzy E They all have Bluetooth audio capability but not headphone ports.
Hi Len, could you tell me the tan leather case for the oasis with the magnetic detachment? I looked at Fintie but I don't think they are the correct ones. Thank you.
nevermind. I think they may have discontinued it
I have the basic Kindle that doesn't have led light. It should be not bad for my eyes right?
I really prefer buttons for page- turning. I have the first generation Kindle from many years ago and it still works wonderfully, never had a single issue with it. Still using it almost daily. I keep it in a case of course...If I upgrade I might choose the Oasis.
I would like to have a Kindle for the purpose of using the Hoopla or Overdrive app to read free ebooks. Is the Fire the only one that has access to download apps?
Loved your review..
great video, thanks so much.
Thank you for your interesting video. Would you let me know what cover you are using on the Oasis. Thank you!
You're welcome! Here is a link to the cover I use for my Oasis: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VVP5T4S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I replied from my wife's account with link to Oasis case - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VVP5T4S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . Sorry for the confusion!
Nice video. Is that the official Amazon blue cloth cover on the basic Kindle? It looks good on the white Kindle.
I subscribed to your podcast. I am an Amazon Enthusiast, owning four of their devices myself. I am also interested in a note-taking e-tablet. I would like it if Amazon made something like that too.
I'm in this situation where I really wanted to buy a kindle but thinking if I should buy now or wait. I'm wondering if amazon will release a new paperwhite next year. I know it is just a rumor but it could also be true looking at the previous timeline of their previous release of product. any thoughts or advise? Thanks a lot!
Hi Len. I enjoyed your video overview of the Kindle e-readers. I have a 5.5 inch android phone with the Kindle reading app for reading e-books or listening to audio books when on the run. For long form e-reading I have my Kindle Paperwhite 4. It is also great with e-books and audio books. It is also the easiest on my eyes because of the e-ink screen. For immersion reading when I want to read and listen to a book at the same time I go with my Amazon Fire HD 10". I find it sharper than the Amazon Fire 8". I especially enjoy immersion reading for non fiction history books.
John, thanks for your comment. I wish I had mentioned the Audible capability of all three Kindles. I too love immersion reading, and it makes sense it looks great on the HD 10.
Getting the oasis 3 soon myself. Its pricy but i dont upgrade tech to often and i want the best as reading is somthing i do for relaxation and fun. I want to make sure i can fully injoy ny time and whats 300 bucks for years and years of use?
Nicely done.
Simple and amazing way you explain. I could take a decision. Thank you. God bless.
I'm a wide and avid reader and I'm very appreciative of e-reader gadgets. I prefer the Paperwhite version. I have it with me most of the time specially when I go out on a trip, etc.. For pure reading enjoyment of novels, short stories, etc. it's the nearest thing to a paperback. It's light and has no distractions like web browsing, music, photos, videos, etc. like in iPads and the likes. I read on my light Kindle Paperwhite during dull moments like when waiting for the bus or your wife to finish her groceries or shopping, etc. With my Kindle Paperwhite on a week cruise, I never missed my ultrabook my wife commandeered skyping to our grandkids. I think I only charged the gadget once for the entire voyage.
Not a fan of the Oasis. I did all my reading on a Kobo Aura One, but I got an incredible deal on a Paperwhite 3 and I ended up loving it. I liked the Paperwhite so much that I bought an Oasis and it just isn't comfortable. The aluminum is cold and slippery, and it feels awkward no matter how I hold it. The weird shape prevents it from fitting in any of my pockets. Heck, my Aura One fits and it has a 7.8" screen!
