Yes, it's been 14 years of Kindle, and what's funny is that when Brandon told me he was gonna do that review so many years ago, I just didn't understand why? A product that could only read books didn't make any sense to me, and especially when I was already reading ebooks for years on my Pocket PC.
It wasn't until I tried one many years later that I picked up on the genius behind these little gadgets. Surely I know many of you still love that smell of paper, and the feel of a regular book, but that would be a huge oversimplification of what a Kindle can do, and their latest model is out to prove just that.
This is the new Kindle Paperwhite, a pretty overdue update to the 2018 model, and what I'd call the most ambitious change Amazon has brought to these devices, even if you won't be able to tell as easily. I'm Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow and this is our full review, sponsored by MediaTek

I love physical books but man kindle makes it's so convenient to read them. I've read more books because of that. An absolute value for money if you are ferocious reader.
I love my turntable, but its not leaving my house. Same with books. But my ipod and kindle will
Ferocious? Rage reading? Voracious?
@@biegebythesea6775 Voracious! I think is the better word. Thank you sir!
No reason to choose a kindle though.
And your books will not be to your disposal if you ever change brand. So you won't. So it's a scam. Just like their library system. Which does not cooperate with the real public e-libraries (at least in Germany) but is filled with 90% of self published junk.
@@j.m.w.5064 should go read some of the stuff, it's really not junk at all mate
I am 82. About 10 years ago or more, I bundled up all my hardback and paperback books and hauled them off to the library. Then I got a Nook. And a year later I got my first Kindle. Now I have the latest version of the Nook and the Kindle Paperwhite. I have both just in case one fails.
For all those geezers between 30 and 40 that just have to be able to touch the printed page, go for it. Me, I am sticking with my e-Readers.
You are a legend, Sir 😊
I'm getting ready to make that same trip to the library! I've got an old Paperwhite and an even older (no light) Kindle. Amazon offered $5 for a trade-in credit! I keep it in my car in case I'm stuck somewhere. If I loose it, who cares? Great post BTW.
I hope I make it to 82. If I’m happy and healthy that is.
You’re definitely from the UK my geezer.
I have a Nook, which I haven't found in some time. Most of my e-books are are on the Fire (Kindle) tablet. I do keep back-ups of Nook and Kindle books on my computer. I think one of my granddaughters has my Nook which is probably dead now since I still have the chagrining cable.
I absolutely love e-ink over the LCD or OLED displays
I totally agree with you. I remember I had a Kindle back in 2014. It was so much better to read then on a phone for a book.
Totally
Amen!
Yeah for reading e ink is the best !
Same
I totally agree with using a Kindle over an actual book or even my iPad Mini for the same reasons you mentioned. I've done more reading on my Kindle than using a book or even my iPad mini. So convenient and light and unlike using my iPad Mini, I can't close the app and switch over to streaming a movie or social media on a whim. It makes you stay focused on reading. Big plus, I never have to worry about lighting conditions or people judging me by the books I read while at a coffee shop 😂
Kindle advantage is not just for keeping attention for not having multi task. Its screen it's the biggest and best feature imo
Wow I'm so familiar with that, people around judging you by the books you're reading. That makes me so pissed off...and after that people still find other reasons to judge me, like why I'm so antisocial, which makes me more to turn up a sociopath developing antisocial conditions lol
I have an iPad Mini and totally agree. It’s really only better for reading colorful stuff like science books or magazines. Plus the headache I used to get after 30 minutes of reading on a standard LCD or OLED tablet is gone
Thanks to kindle I went from reading 1 or 2 books per year to 69 books in 2021, it´s cheaper, easier, much more comfortable and keeping count of the days i read on the kindle app is really motivational to me. Best thing i have ever purchased.
Please where did you get yours
I checked on Amazon but it isn’t available
@@dumebikanu3180 I got it at a physical store in México. Try to investigate which department stores provide kindle in your country. If you live in the USA, you can buy it at Sears or Best Buy, I believe.
@@victoriamolina5476 I'm also able to read many. But remembering what you read is so difficult. How do you do it? Have you retained the content of these books?
@@barneyy6942 if you don't remember anything, you aren't digesting the contents lol - slow down. You need to be able to see the imagery that books are trying to portray
@@barneyy6942 czcams.com/video/AjoxkxM_I5g/video.html
I love my Kindle. I've not seen any reviewer mention that one can borrow books from their library on it. I've only ever bought one book in about eight years.
And if you put your kindle into airplane mode after borrowing it the loan doesnt end until you leave airplane mode. So I grab like 8 books at a time and use them for 2 months+
Right, almost every review fails to mention that. I love using Libby to send books to my kindle, is the most convenient feature.
That's because Amazon specifically tells them not to mention that, they want you to buy everything you read directly from them.
@@josejimenez3799 I guess it makes sense, almost all reviews are sponsored
Do you have to be a Prime member to borrow books? I can’t find the menu ‘Borrow’ or “lending’ on my Kindle account.
I've got the ordinary 2021 Paperwhite. I did wonder about the extra storage on the Signature but to give you an idea, I have 1206 books and docs plus 2 Audible loaded onto it so far and still have 3.11GB of space remaining. Many of my books are larger books - foreign language dictionaries, and Complete Works. Naturally I can remove books as I read them, I will still be able to see them listed when I'm connected to Wifi so that I can redownload them when I want to read them again.
Interesting, thanks for that data point. I'm looking at the Signature edition for the auto-adjusting light, but the wireless charging is a bit pointless for something with a battery life measured in weeks and this confirms that I'm rather unlikely to fill up 8 GB, so the price difference is a bit much. We'll see.
I, surprisingly, found the PW more comfortable to hold for a long period of time... Compared to the Oasis.
Battery is Wayyyyyy better
Appreciate that. I was on the verge of springing for the Oasis, but after this review and this comment I think I've decided to go with the Signature Paperwhite.
@@julians7268 I think it's a good choice... Why the Signature though?
@@jayvansickle7607 I listen to A LOT of audio books and I would like the additional storage. Especially since the ability to expand storage isn't available.
@@julians7268 I found Audible disappointing on the Kindle because the software which plays it on the Kindle doesn't have a sleep timer (I listen to Audible to go to sleep)
@@evelynwoolston7 That's definitely not good.
Something I think most people forget to mention is availability of digital copy of the book. Much less a problem now than when Kindle was first a thing years ago but certainly something you need to research. It depends on what kind of books you read. Most modern published books will be available in digital and identical to physical. If you read more non fiction and books that tend to be older but still not in public domain then you may have a hard time. Yet others (like a lot of anthologies I've seen) are available in digital copy but their digital version of very poor, often missing content. Again, not a big deal for most people, given the kind of books that seem like popular reads but something you'd want to look into it your taste differs or you read a very specific type of literature.
I have been a Kindle fan/owner since their inception, including the latest and greatest Oasis (disappointing). I look forward to returning to the US and purchasing the new Paperwhite. Being retired I have the luxury of reading at least four to ten books a month. I have been a voracious reader for years. Kindle is by far, the best e-reader today.
I totally agree with you
Can u read online fanfics on it or only well known books, can u read mangas too or just normal books?
Why do you find the Oasis disappointing? I own it as well and I have my own reasons. Just wondering yours.
@@Okoks69 Sure you can read mangas or comics using mobi format
I have the 2015 Paperwhite 3, and that device is still kicking strong in 2021. I've read many books and Japanese comics (Manga) on it.
Do you know a way to read novels on it?
I upgraded from my perfectly fine and beloved Paperwhite 3 to this new Paperwhite 5. Yes, the larger screen is awesome, and menus are a tiny little faster. But for me the killer feature is Dark Mode. Love it! It could have been implemented in older versions but they chose not to which is a shame... But I did not mind buying a new device as I plan to keep it for at least 5 to 10 years of frequent use.
I found a kindle from 2011 (and probably haven't been used since then) still works and the battery life was surprisingly very good. I've been using it and the e-ink makes it feel like I'm looking at paper rather than a screen and hurts my eyes a lot less. The only reason I'm considering getting a new kindle is to read in the dark.
Also I'm more likely to bring a kindle as a carry-on on a road trip rather than an iPad due to the size and the longevity of its battery-life.
I began with a Kindle 3 which needed an external light and then replaced that with the very first Paperwhite which I bought in 2013 shortly before the PW2 came out, I still have it and it's as good now as when I first bought it although the leatherette cover is just about worn out, I have very recently bought the latest 11th generation Kindle, the Paperwhite 5 with 8Gb . I thought the extra cost of the 32Gb rather exorbitant and I see no need for wireless charging, especially now there is USB-C connection'., I have the Kindle app on my phone which is synced with the Kindle so no matter where I am and even when I don't have the kindle with me, I can continue reading if I get stuck somewhere. However the phone doesn't last very long unlike the Kindle which can run for weeks without charging.
I like my Oasis because of one feature. I like the page turn buttons and the ability to disable the touch screen. I tend to turn pages by accident just holding a device. I have the same issue with my phone. The Oasis is my second Kindle. The first one was the Kindle Keyboard.
I’ve been loving this version of the Kindle… The speed and larger screen were definitely the biggest reasons i picked this one.
the first video i have watched of this channel and couldn't help but notice the high quality of production and planning. kudos.
Nice to see the iPaq. Back then, I worked for Compaq. I used it for ebooks and Audible, just like you. So much easier to put in your bag than a load of books. I have used Sony, Nook, Kindle since day one. I currently use a first model (2017?) Oasis. I have had to reformat it twice during 2021, so I know it is getting long in the tooth. I keep waiting to see if a new Oasis will launch, but you ALMOST convince me to try the new Paperwhite. During 2020, with a broken wrist, the Oasis saved me, as I switched to my off hand and the auto page-mode kept me going. Decisions, decisions, decisions...
Still rock a kindle every day. The world needs more single-use devices.
totally agree!
Similar to you I delayed a few years getting a Kindle/nook because my PDA was just fine … but once I switched over I have never gone back. I love the new Paperwhite version - fast, great screen and lighting options and did I mention how responsive and fast it is? Not perfect, but as someone who has been reading e-texts for more than 30 years (HP95LX) … it is my favorite so far!
The kindle is great, but I really miss their physical page turn buttons. I know touch screens have their own perks but the original non touch kindle for me was the best.
Being able to borrow library books during the pandemic to rent on my kindle was a lifesaver :) great review! The eink screen is 🔥
I have been using one for the last 10 years and it still works really well.
I am currently a patient in a nursing home and as much as I have always loved books they just don’t work here. With the Paperwhite, I can read inside or outside, sitting up or lying down. I’ve got hundreds of books available at all times including many “Complete works of ...” and many compilations by genre. All books are equally convenient no matter how huge the physical copy would be. And the prices are great with many selling for .99 to a few dollars and immediately available. It’s a life saver.
For me, the Kindle is about accessibility. I have arthritis in my hands, I can't hold a paper book for more than 20 minutes or so without extreme pain. The Kindle I can hold for *hours*. My vision tends to blur when I get tired, so being able to up the font extends my reading time. I'm asthmatic, the 'smell' of books is problem when books hold on to things like perfume, cigarette smoke, etc, especially when buying books 2nd hand or taking them out of the library. NOTHING is more frustrating then finding the next book in a series you're reading at the library, opening it up and going into an asthma attack! Because you can't read the book. I rarely use the back lit option, though it's nice to have for those rare times I *do* need it. And being able to switch between books (because other wise I finish my book club book way too fast and lose the rest of the group), and being able to pick up a new book when I finish one without dragging two or three books along on a trip is great as well. I got my first Kindle in 2009, and I haven't been without one since, I use it every day for many hours a day.
Got my Kindle paperwhite 2 months ago and I'm loving it. Still love holding a book and reading but I have no regrets about buying one.
I love mine, is a old version, from 2017 and still working very fine.
I have that same one. Bought the new one and it’s actually a pretty nice upgrade.
I am using my 2013 model and still working great .
I was initially hesitant to buy a Kindle, thinking how often I would actually read a read. Whether in digital or physical form books seldom get read more than a few times (with a few exceptions). I was one of those loved holding a book and turning pages and placing it on a bookshelf. When I did buy my Kindle I thought that the novelty of the device would wear off before too long and I would return to physical books. However this was not the case. The Kindle altered my reading habits and found myself reading every single day. As I grow older reading text on a page is difficult but with the ability to expand the text on the Kindle reading is much more pleasurable. At this time I do at least 95% of my reading on my Kindle. A couple years later I bought the Fire HD 10 tablet so that I could read comic books and other things that the Kindle cannot. I have the 7th generation model and still very satisfied with it. Being small and light and having a sizeable library at your disposal beats lugging around a physical book. I felt like a bit of a traitor at first but a book is a book no matter what format is comes in. As a lifelong reader this is the best thing I have bought in a long time. Would I upgrade to another model? Probably....but only when it's absolutely necessary.
Wife and I switched to the Kindle many years ago primarily because we travel a lot and both like to read. Spend 4 months in rural Mexico and good luck with a paper format reading list. I found myself reading crappy romance novels because that's all I could find in some hotel recycling bin. Now.... I have any book I want within seconds..... And often free for 21 days from my local library back home. I also use the software called Calibre on a laptop to download and sync books free to our Kindles. Oh, I for one would never use an iPad or kindle fire for reading since it sends to many distractions
College convinced me of the validity of these devices. Highlighting passages for research and presentations is game changing. I'm on my second one, been using them for about 6 yrs now and rarely read a physical book anymore. Honestly when crushing books, the phone is okay but kills the eyes, go E-Ink.
Can you read on a kindle before sleeping or is it going to affect your sleep negatively?
I find Kindle to be compelling. Even though it’s basically a single function device, it does that one function with extremely well. I use Kindle on an iPad and phone but constantly but i feel an kindle would make a better book reading experiance
I have a kindle that’s at least 5-6 years old and it still works great and holds a charge for weeks. It does has a slightly longer delay in turning pages but it works great. I thought I lost it a couple weeks ago right after Christmas and I was sad about it. Luckily it had just got kicked under the lounger and I found it after a couple days.
Lucky you. My first two Kindles developed screen problems much sooner than that. It's still by far the superior reader out there.
Although I have Kindle on my IPAD, the best thing about it is it’s light weight. I have arthritis in my wrists, so although I still enjoy real books, as you’ve said most are heavy and they bother my wrist as well as small lettering. I’m a senior so this helps a lot. My first Kindle was a Mothers Day Gift, and it was the first one out. I thought I’d never use it, but soon learned it was one of the things I can’t do without as I’ve always had my head in a book. Will perhaps buy this newer one.
I have a question for anyone reading,i want to get a kindle or just a ereader( I heard of kobo) for reading books and manga, but I heard that the oasis and kobo libra 2 can read it best( buy it I mean manga), can this model read it just as well? or am I better off sticking to the oasis or libra for the manga side?
I prefer Kobo because it uses the epub format. I really dont like how Amazon approaches it's DRM, especially considering how few accessibility options many of their books come with. As someone who relies a lot on text to speech sometimes for textbooks, it's a nightmare because it doesnt work with accessibility software! It's very easy to do with epub
can we install play books on it? or can we transfer books from play books to it?
The Kindle Paperwhite (11th Generation) supports epub, along with other file formats such as PDF
@@ramprasath3346 only if you use third party software to remove the DRM off your Play books
@@mayatuviera epub? No, you can't, unfortunate. Where did your read about this?
I had a kindle keyboard that offered text to speech and I've yet to find a Kindle that's better than that model
What a top launch as it comes with amazing features and the mediatek chip that elevates the experience.
Can I install apps from the Play Store or Android?
Thanks for this review I've been wondering what the best for me would be and this seems to be it
A Kindle along with the Libby app is a bookworm dream 😊 📚
i have a kindle basic 3 from 2019. is it waterproof?
obv the case isnt
4:36 Don't bring it to the beach. You'll regret it. Even if you don't drop it in salt water or sand, there are sand particles that are carried by the wind which will basically blast away at it, like a sand blaster. You'll end up with tiny little scratches on it.
Unless ya made of money and can afford two of them, don't do it. Leave it at home. Don't even take it with you on vacation at all. If you leave in the hotel room it might magically disappear. Just enjoy the vacation. That's why you're there.
Also, probably worth mentioning, don't leave black devices in the sun. Dark absorbs heat and their batteries might explode. "What about white e-readers then?" No, same thing, to a lesser degree, but you get a better contrast (visually) with black frames than with white frames, which makes text easier to read.
Is there a chance for the screen to break if it falls down? Should I buy a screen protector as well?
Does Audible work on a Kindle in any market outside the U.S.? Doesn't work here in Canada.
Can you load books you had in PDF format to it? I never ever had a kindle before and I have a crapload of PDF books
Does anybody know what keyboard that is at 7:11 ? Thx
How do you handle the display with avoiding scratches on the display? Do you have an protection shield attached? And if yes, which one? I just got an actual PW and thought that the display is more sensitive to possible scratches than my previous PW (6th generation). But anyway, love it so much the new one!
Kindle is the best gadget I have bought in the last 10 years. I love physical books & have quite a lot of them as well but kindle reading is a bit more productive like highlighting, note taking, built in dictionary, exporting the highlights to PDF etc...
Get an Oasis, disable touchscreen on it when you read, and you'll prefer it to holding a book. It's exactly like holding half of a very light book that way.
My only gripe with a Kindle after 10 years and four Kindles is that it doesn't handle long book names well. I read allot of series rather than stand alone books. The problem comes in that most authors put the book number at the very end of the title (if at all but that is a separate issue). However in all options for viewing your library it does not wrap text so it cuts off part of the titles leaving me to guess which book is next unless I am near my computer so I can check the book order.
I am sure this is just a me problem and I'm not big enough to ask Amazon to make a change in their software.
Kindle now allows you to choose to group all your books in a series together. It will do that automatically if you select that in the settings.
I used to watch you in 2013-14. It’s good to see you are doing well. Have a nice day ✌️
I love my Kindle Oasis. Love the page turn buttons, screen is very clear, very fast and the metal get the more quality feeling. But hey, Kindle Paperwhite seems also like a very super product.
6:30 what tablet/phone are you reading on?
Great video! What kindle do you suggest to buy?
I love my oasis. The space with the page turn buttons gives plenty of room for my hand to rest and not overlap with the screen. This is never talked about in reviews and is why i got my oasis
should i put screen protectors for kindle? Thank you
Can you use your downloaded books from google books to Kindle?
This is one of the best reviews I've ever seen for the Kindle! I absolutely love mine! I'd recommend it to anyone!
I'm very happy with my Paperwhite except for the "home" UI. I find it to be very confusing with on-board, off-board books as well as recommendations very hard to distinguish. Once you have a book selected and are reading, it's fine.
At first I was so excited thought that Brandon is back, after that just realized is an old video. So nostalgia.
I think my Kindle is one of the original ones. I've had it about ten or more years, still running fine. I can't read ebooks on a refreshing screen, migraine results. But this e- ink device is fine. I download library books often, occasionally buy a book if there's a terrific price on it. No backlight, no need, and there are page turn buttons. No need to change that either. I'm probably not the upgrading consumer they'd really prefer! But I love my lightweight Kindle, loaded with big books I couldn't lug about with me.
Hi. Great video, thanks. My paperwhite is arrived yesterday. Can i use phone charger 65w, superfast, is there a possibility to damage a kindle with that kind of charger?
I love the Open Dyslexic implementation on Kindles. That feature alone helps me read significantly faster.
Yes I thought I was the only one! I don’t have dyslexia but I like reading with it
Exactly it works incredibly for me
yes, me too!
I'm not dyslexic, but I like the dyslexia font......I can really really, REALLY fast with that
I have been considering the paperwhite for over a year now and i close to pullin ghte triger (i have to decide if it will be 10th or 11th gen though).
But QUESTION to owners:
I have many many ebooks on epub format. I read in the comments that the kindles dont accept epub!!!? (and something about pdfs)
Can someone please let me know if epubs can be trasnferred to the device (and if the gen plays a role)? Also any problems with pdfs?
and secondly to the people with the ads version: how annoying are the ads and when/where do they pop up?
thanks in advance to the fellow readers
I really like reading manga on it. I don’t have room on my shelf for manga. So being able to store them all on my kindle is nice. I notice it does drain the battery more than a regular book would, but not by much. it can freeze when you open it right after it downloads.
I left both my Kindle 2018 and Kindle 2021 on sleepmode over night. I left my old Kindle at 47% and my new kindle at 21%. I woke up this morning to my old Kindle at 45% and my new one at 15%. Soooo is this normal? The new one seems to lose charge faster.
I love a having a book in my hands, but wow a Kindle for travel is a game changer.
Just picked mine up, and I love it. I love physical books, but man, I can have my entire library with me, and read laying down without flipping all the time.
Mate, could you do one for Supernote a5x? Is it good for reading books, pdfs, etc.?
I've been a Kindle user since 2011 (my first tech video was the unboxing of the regular Kindle back then). I used the last regular Kindle with buttons, the first Kindle Touch (my first 'hit' on CZcams was my review of that one) and the segond-gen Paperwhite I've been using since 2014 (and I have not considered upgrading... yet).
For me, the Kindle is one of those fundamental devices for my everyday. A distraction-free device for JUST READING...and it's perfect for that.
Besides the device itself, tools like Goodreads to get recomendations from your peers and favorite authors and Readwise to track and share your highlights are a great addition to the whole Kindle experience.
Can it read any pdf? Even the ones with scanned images only? Also, can you connect a USB driver to them?
My first one was a button too, and I thought that it was very high tech at the time.LOL!
so, can I get books from my local library like I can on my iPad?
Should I get this or the 2019 edition pw
I prefer reading on a Kindle e-reader to reading a physical book at this point. It's one of my must-have devices.
i am thinking of getting one for my phd work. i have to read many papers on pdf format. does anybody has experience with the kindle regarding pdfs? many thanks!
Does anyone know if you can use wired USB-C headphones with this to listen to ebooks!?
Should I upgrade from kindle paper white 3 to this one ?
Great video and very informative.
I personally love my Kindle! It's one of my favorite possessions! It fits in my bag and is waterproof and glare proof. Excellent battery life. My eyes aren't very strong, so being able to change the font size is wonderful for me. Also, being lightweight, they are much easier to read in bed than a 1300 page book (The Count of Monte Cristo ftw!) with its booklight. I can carry 1000s of books with me on a lightweight, distraction free device.
Can the kindle read out load to you while you follow along- sort of like the audible app? If yes, does all version carry this feature? I just want to change my habit and read more, I’m a bad reader so really want a feature to read to me while I follow along.
Yes, if you have a bluetooth speaker.
What monitor do you use?
While I understand the great benefits of a dedicated e-reader, my goal is to have a few devices on hand whenever I travel or just head out, and honestly, I prefer my tablet since I can do more with it than with an e-reader. But I still sometimes think about getting one. Just not sure if I should. But great insight though! Thanks so much for this video.
I’m preferring the paperwhite to the oasis. I didn’t get the signature edition because I didn’t need the storage or auto backlight or wireless charging. USB-C and the warm light is awesome. I like the plastic back compared to the oasis. Much easier to hold.
Waiting for mine to arrive!!
I love Kindles because they're shipyard compliant. Military shipyards don't allow microphones and cameras, thus most modern electronics are forbidden.
I can bring this with me and read a book on the job during downtime, and I don't have to lug around the weight of a book in my equipment bag.
The only advantage with DDR4 here is better battery life, the modules run at 1.2v compared to 1.35-1.5.
Can you download your ebook in PDF and read it on this device
Wouldn't go anywhere without this! I love to read and since my eyesight has gotten worse I got this fire and it has made reading a favorite pass time again! Would definitely recommend!
i started of the the kindle but it was the one with the keyboard. that was my transition from paperbound books to digital. I now do my reading on a Fire tablet and archive those digital books on my computer. I also have books for the Nook (which I need to find). Mi Kindle Keyboard still works, I tend to check and recharge it's battery after 2-4 months. I don't use but as I said it still works but having a rechargeable battery, it's best to let the battery run down prior to recharging --- eliminates "battery memory" issues.
I am on my 6th Kindle and still have the original. I have read many, many books on the Kindle...far more than I would paper books. I often read 3 or more books concurrently.
Ive had a 4th Gen non touch kindle since 2014 and its still working fine.
Mine still looks brand new and I love it. I would HATE a touch screen on my kindle.
@@dobaleedo same here, not too fond of the touch screen.
When I heard that intro, I was like "damn, Brandon is still doing the thing?? My boi!"
(This is my first pocket now video in quite some time)
I still use my ancient kindle and it works great 👍
I love this device and compared to previous ones, the performance is better owing to the new mediatek chipset. But now it should come with a speaker as well.
Can it read any pdf even the ones with scanned images only? Also can I connect a USB driver?
Hello, Just i wanna ask you if you know any cheap ebook reader to buy? I need a recommendation since here in Lebanon we can't buy products in fresh $ so we tend to find more cheap yet acceptable products so if you can help me find a cheap even used EBook reader i would appreciate it 😇 THANKS!🙌
I love my Kindle Paperwhite 2021, I read dominantly ebooks on my iPad for about 6 years and the Kindle was the best upgrade ever! I still love hard copies but have fewer of them than I would have without ebooks. While I go through reading ups and downs my Kindle is always in my bag for those handful of unexpected pockets of reading time.
In my experience the battery lasts 2 solid weeks of constant reading (4-8hrs a day), with periodic reading I have yet to drain it. I like the light warmth feature but never go brighter than 10 (even that high is rare) so I think the range is unnecessarily large.
I have ipad pro 10.5 and mostly read pdfs…do u recommend paperwhite 11?
@@Dr.Akakia Depends on if you regularly read pdfs with color, and whether you would be comfortable reading on a screen roughly half the size of your current one. If you know anyone with either a kindle or a mini iPad try borrowing that and reading on it. The mini iPad is about the same screen size and I think there is a way of turning the screen solely b&w if you wanted to test that out
Can it disable touch screen like in Oasis?
I wanna buy a e reader, should i buy a kindle? I don't know which one to choose. I want something just to read, not expensive so that i can take every where and not reflective. Any insights? Thanks in advance ;)
Very helpful review.
Can you download any apps on kindle
Kobo Clara HD has the same quality but can read EPUB format natively and overdrive. You can save a lot of money and have many more ebooks.
I am kinda frustrated. I am an avid Audible user and thought that the whisper sync feature meant that if I had a Kindle product it would give me the book too. Do they give a discount if you purchase both the e-book and the audio book at the same time?
I would totally get this if I enjoyed reading.
I love my kindle! I bought the 2018 one not realizing that the 2021 was to be shortly released after my purchase.
