    *I upgraded from the 8 inch to the **Newest.Technology** 10 inch. I really didn't expect it to make that much difference but it has. It is also much faster and responsive. Great Purchase.*

    I’ve owned various Kindle models since they first came out. I now have the first version of the Kindle Oasis. I thought I knew pretty much everything about the known and unknown features of the Kindle, but I never knew about the screen shot function. Thanks, Nomad Flair.

    Thanks for this. I hadn't noticed the Show Clock While Reading Option or the themes. Syncing Collections are my biggest problem with the latest Kindle software. I used them alot (I have over 1000 books). They didn't appear on my new Kindle and I had to get them by using the Search button, clicking on the Show All button and clicking the 3dot menu next to them to Download to Device. However, new collections which I make on my Android phone don't appear on my Kindle. I've done the usual reboots and syncs. And some books which were in a collection appear outside the collection in Sort By Collection view.

    Great video guy. I just got my 11th Gen kindle today. I used before the 5th gen. It has huge improvement compare with my 5th Gen. But, it is a bit heavy, and have a reflective glass screen. And I still miss the page turner button, which is good when I am reading by single hand.

    • @NomadFlair
      @NomadFlair  Před 2 lety +3

      Congratulations, you'll get used to not using the page turner button. The glass screen is good as it ensures there's less glare from the sun or light bulbs.

      You will soon get the hang of swiping one handed with your thumb, Kyaw. I've got a non-Amazon cover for my Kindle. It has an elastic attached so that I can fold the cover back and put my hand into elastic. If you are under 21 you will also be able to do this while riding a bicycle and if you are under 18 you will be able to perform wheelies at the same time

    Very interesting. Thanks.
    I wish it were possible to "lock" the progress in the book feature.
    I'd prefer to be able to only see the percentage, which was locked, by default, on my trusty old 4th Gen Kindle! It lasted 11 years and sold, very quickly on eBay!
    It seems a bit bizarre that you can "set" it, but accidentally keep changing it, while reading.
    One tip I've discovered; you don't need to tap/swipe the screen on the far right, in order to advance the pages.
    Almost anywhere, just to the right/centre of the screen will do the trick.
    Handy for us left handed people! 😉📚

      @@fennarios it works for your own documents too. I use my Kindle alot for storing long Word documents like my recipe book. The way I put my documents onto my Kindle is to Bluetooth the doc to my phone. I've installed the Kindle app on my phone so when I long press on the document in the phone's File Manager, I choose the Send To icon then choose the Kindle app. It then gives you the option to send it to any of your registered devices. Ensure you tick one device AND Archive In your Kindle Library. Your notes and bookmarks will then appear on any device you send it to

    Faster? Responsive? I have the latest Kindle Fire and it can't handle simple sites like TikTok, accuweather, etc. Constantly reloads, drops the website. Audio not matching the video.... When the Kindle finally zeros in on everything it works for about a half hour before stalling out. I have to reboot to wipe the cache. It's really a pain and it has gotten worse over the past year.
