My favorite kindle feature is the time left in the chapter. When I read physical books, I'm always flipping ahead to see how many pages I have left and wondering if I'll have time to finish the current chapter or finish the next one. My kindle keeps me from getting distracted in that way and it's such a game changer. And books are way less overwhelming when I can't physically see how big the book is. The warm light is also fantastic!
Couldn’t agree more!
Mine too!!!
I love my paperwhite. I think it's the best option for a kindle. It really works out well because you can change font and make the print bigger. There is nothing like a real book but hard to store, so the kindle helps. Happy reading 📚 😊
Reading on your Kindle instead of your phone/tablet is so much easier on your eyes too! I’m a Kindle stan 🤣
I’ve used a kindle for over 10 years. I still occasionally read physical books but for bedtime reading and travel, I’m reading on a kindle. And if your library uses Libby, you can save so much money.
I’ve owned a Kindle Oasis for 6 years now and it is my baby. One of the best purchases I’ve ever made!
Ooh. I feel called out! I have had a Kindle Paperwhite for a few months. At first I was picking it up at night and in the morning, but now I am picking up my phone again. I definitely need to get back to my Kindle. Thank you!
Thought my kindle was going to be an unused impulse purchase but I’ve read more than ever!! I love it so much.
I caved in from your last kindle video and bought a paperwhite. It’s actually helped me to read even more than before! I love how it makes me zone in without distractions and I can take it pretty much everywhere
I know! I bought my paperwhite a few weeks ago and I read 13 books in June with it! That’s way more than I normally read in a month
I hate when people compare ereaders to mobile devices. It’s not just about getting distracted, staring at blue light for hours is not good for your eyes. I don’t think we even yet know the affects blue light will have on our eyes until our generation gets older. It’s better to read from an e-ink screen
I have the paper white, Oasis, Fire and the Scribe .. I don’t leave my house without one of them. I love my Kindle Family ❤
And those of us reading before bed, and living with a significant other, the dark mode is very useful. My husband would complain about my book light
Kindle being a single use device is what puts me off tbh. I don’t want to own a bunch of devices when one device could be serving many purposes. I also find that using my phone for reading makes me more likely to read bc it’s already on me and in my hand. the transition from social media apps to the kindle app is easier than the transition between devices (I am autistic and adhd so transitions are hard for me)
I can see a mini i-pad working for mutiple purposes as well, but the only issue I have with the iPad is the lighting and mechanism is not set for reading. Kindles don't strain your eyes like regular tech screens I feel.
You autism helps you be a little more disciplined in not straying you away when you have the intent to read. This is a topic I'm sure she doesn't touch on based on her lack of experience in that area. I have an autistic friend who also prefers her iPad for kindle app reading because it actually helps her stay focused. I can see how the transition for devices is a little more difficult, I use my iPad for reading in certain scenarios because the switching can overstimulate me and then I dont want to read. You do what works best for you!
Interesting I have autism and adhd too but I love my kindle 😅 it took me a little while to adjust but now I can’t go without it 😊
I think it being a single use device is actually why an eReader works for so many people.
Once you pick it up you won't get distracted by notifications, a sudden need to check instagram or even something as simple as checking the weather. Just like with a physical book its just about the reading experience.
I think this isn't for everyone but I think especially for people who struggle with getting distracted, an eReader can be a very helpful tool
@@Cherrylimeade0235 yeah that is a big draw for me. I don’t like looking at tech screens constantly, especially bc my job is 100% computer based. I also like that the new kindle is waterproof.
You make such a valid point about how easily we can get distracted reading on our phones and tablets. I definitely fall prey to this. I’ve been wanting to get a paperwhite. Thinking of rewarding myself when I hit a milestone 😊
I went with Kobo. I got the kobo Clara BW as kindle doesn’t work with our libraries in Canada. I also like that I am not stuck in a Amazon eco system for my books. I can load books from anywhere which is helpful because I read in more that two languages. For the authors only available on kindle I just buy those books. Great video!
I absolutely love my kindle paperwhite. Out of all ways to read it’s probably my favorite. Love a physical book but compared to my kindle it always eventually becomes unwieldy. Audiobooks are fantastic as well. However, there is just something immersing about reading the text in your own voices and letting your perspective take over. E-readers give a bit of everything. The convenience of portability and reading in various lighting. Being able to annotate and bring your library with you. There is just so many pros to an ereader in general but specifically with the kindle paperwhite. It is a comfortable size, has a very long battery life and is waterproof! It’s just everything you need if you enjoy reading and do so often. If you buy at least a book a month, kindle unlimited is 1000% worth it. And there’s always Libby if your library has! Possibilities are endless. Anyone on the fence about getting one needs to jump down and get it now 😅
Getting my Kindle reignited my love for reading. I didn't read for about five years. I would read a book here and there, but I wasn't an avid reader like I had previously been in lower school grades. I also wear glasses, and the strain on my eyes with the Kindle is practically non-existent. The only feature on the Kindle that I don't like is the audio. I will play play that on my phone and follow along on my Kindle and it works perfectly. I will always have one with me.
Clicked this soooo fast. Was just thinking about getting one!
Lovely video! I recently got a kobo. Mostly because the size of the newest kobo bw is perfect for my hands AND def fits women’s pockets and tiny purses with ALL the features of a ppw! Another reason is I wanna be free from the amazon ecosystem. The interface is more about YOU instead of what amazon recommends for you.
You're spot on in your introduction! God Bless you Khalilah.
I have a fire tablet and a basic kindle, but I love my covers in color, so I prefer my fire tablet
I just got a pink tablet!! It’s a little harsh on my eyes but still enjoy it a lot!!!
I had a Kindle 2, and then upgraded to a PW2 in 2014, that is still going strong 10 years later. I am a big supporter of the library and am able to download tons of books, turn on airplane mode and they are mine till i delete them. It has saved me so so so much money. My PW2 has 4gb and is about 7/8 full. I have over 1500 books on my kindle and am add/deleting books all the time. Thinking about upgrading to a PW5, but I have a feeling Amazon will be releasing a newer version by the end of the year or next year, so i'm holding off to see what the newer features will be!
Honestly thank you for that video! I really needed the realisation that I’m on my phone way to much😅 I’m also going to try your tip about reading before bed ☺️
Mine kindle is also a paperwhite 11 gen and I have had it for only month now but I absolutely love it .I got it after seeing your both videos and it is definitely worth the money 💖😁🫶.Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰 ❤
I bought a Kindle paperwhite and love it. It has no distractions which keeps me in a book.
Also not needing to buy a reading light just to read or even during the daytime when the sun is moving and with physical books you're always moving around to chase that light so you can read.
I have the 2nd generation kindle paperwhite lol. I bought it in aug of 2013 so it’s almost 11 years old and still going strong! The battery doesn’t last 8 weeks anymore but it lasts at least 4. It also has only 2gb (1.25 gb of user avail space) and I’ve never ran out. It doesn’t allow audiobooks. The only bummer is I think last year they stopped allowing 10+ year old kindles to purchase directly from the store. You have to do it online and send it to your kindle but I’ve always done it anyway because the kindle has always been extremely slow paging through the store.
But anyway, all that to say, for $100 or whatever it was at the time it was a great investment! I don’t have any other electronic device that’s lasted so well 10+ years on. As much as I would love a new sage green kindle, I’m interested in seeing how long it will last!
I love my kindle paperwhite! It fantastic and thank you for the recommendation and advice about the kindle!
You're so welcome!
The main reason I want a kindle is to help with eyestrain. I always read on my phone but my eyes get red, dry, strained and I end up with a migraine. So an e-ink display would help a lot.
Those were the same reason that I ended up getting a kindle, and it's been the best. No more eye strain or migraines!
@@TheLegendOfRune that is great to hear! I more excited for prime day now.
Thx for this video !! I’m debating in buying a kindle and this video really helps :)
I love my kindle I use it to read all my manga for free!
what do you read your manga on? i wanna read manga on my kindle but i don’t want to have to buy every volume to read it
I love my kindle but I also love holding a book. I have a book sleeve so I can take my book with me without messing up the book
I have had mine for about 6 months and I love it! I’ve read so much. It’s especially nice with having 2 young kids. With a paperback, they would take my book mark or rip pages. No problems like that with a kindle!
6:15 that is why I turned my old phone into basically a kindle with worse batterylife lmao, no social media or anything distracting on it, just my reading apps. I feel like it works just as well as any other ereader for reading more without distractions.
Kindle stan! 🥳 I am becoming such a kindle girly, its so convenient.
isn't it the best thing ever?? I love it 💜
I got the 16 gb paperwhite from target last month for $30 cheaper than a refurbished one on Amazon. (It was during Father’s Day week). The main reason I finally caved is because I like to read at night and I travel a lot so reading in the car when it gets dark is awesome without a reading light.
I bought an iPad mini, specifically for reading, after my nook color crapped out. (I cannot deal with reading on the giant iPad). I loved it but realized after a while that my migraines were much more frequent and much more severe, even with the customized grey screen on the nook app. I finally bought a paperwhite signature and I’m soooooo in love with it💕. It’s definitely one of my best purchases ever!
Kindle Unlimited is my best friend!
I take my kindle to the spa at my gym so I can read while my body relaxes ❤
Late in the Kindle game and Khalilah, I resonate with all said I just pulled a trigger on a pre-loved 10th Gen.
Keep sharing gurl..... your soothing voice and assuring presentation is a strong influence 😊
Yes to all this except for the Kindle Unlimited subscription… I didn’t think it was worth the money at all and quickly cancelled it
I’m thinking about getting one but I’ll alway prefer a physical book. I’ll most likely only use it when reading in the dark or reading a book I’m unsure about so don’t want to buy.
I bought a kindle first and loved it, but if you live outside the US it might be important to check if your overdrive or your library can be used on a kindle. I live in Canada and I had to return the kindle, because of this reason. I got a kobo instead and it was almost better, minus not having access to kindle unlimited.😅
Good review. Thank you.
Thanks for the video!! Planing on buying kindle on prime day!
Hope you enjoy it!
Also, super mad that they aren't selling paperwhites in India!
ooh loving these thursday uploads :)
I bought a 2010 kindle on eBay for $50 a few months ago. I love it. I don't need anything fancy
kindle unlimited is 150 INR (2 dollar)
I love your content.
Hey Friend, Happy Saturday. I have never owned a kindle before but that works like a good thing to have. 😊🥰
Not to be dramatic but having a kindle has revolutionized vacations for me. I used to pack as many books as space and weight would allow relative to necessity ie clothes and now, I just throw my kindle in my purse and I'm good to go. It's also so much easier holding it with a popsocket when you're lounging than a physical book. I still love physical books but I've been leaning on e-books more and more.
Revolutionary is the right word!! It’s literally the best purchase I’ve ever made 😭🩷
I have found so many books that I would never had heard of if it wasn’t for my kindle
I think there is also a 16 GB paperwhite.
Do I own a Kindle Paperwhite already? Yes.
Did I watch this whole video? Yes.
😂 The Kindle Paperwhite is my favorite purchase I’ve ever made.
lol literally same 😭
How did you know I wanted one, gurllll! Are we-- telepathically connected?
me watching this while already having one: ...
I want to get an ereader this year! Still not sure which one, so these kind of videos are really helpful!
Girl how are the books so expensive in America 😭 here in the Netherlands I buy books for like 8-15 euro’s and E-books for half of price
Also, can you link the case and accessories you have for your Kindle ❤❤?
They’re in my Amazon storefront!
@@khalilahd.I don’t see them!
oh wow what a review!
I’m tempted to “accidentally “ drop my kindle in the tub…
Remember that there is other brand that make amazing e readers
❤❤❤
💚🖤
i swear we must share the same brain cell because i just uploaded a kindle video a few days ago!
Ooo running over to check it out!! 🏃♀️
@@Madisreadinglist13 aw hope you like it!

Just what I needed! I’ve been thinking about getting a kindle for my niece.😅😊
