Why World War 2 fiction is suddenly popular
WWII historical fiction has boomed in the last 20 years. More book sales, more best sellers, more books coming out, and more interest in the topic of World War 2. What makes WW2 such a compelling time to read about, and why the sudden interest marked by a rise in book (and other media, tbh) sales and writings? In this video we discuss the popularity of WWII historical fiction.

Reading Comprehension Strategies Backed by Research || 5 Tips
mark picked a pretty odd name for his diet. the word pegan actually sounds pretty cool. it rolls off the tongue quite nicely. however, the issue that i have with it being called pegan (paleo/vegan), is that it's not paleo or vegan at all. he allows for meat (not vegan) and allows for grains (not paleo). so overall this isn't even a paleo or vegan diet at this point. it's just kind of a smash of "healthy" foods with a label that is rather misleading. when people think of a paleo vegan diet (which is an actual diet), you usually come across hi-raw vegans in this category. then there is a sub-set of people that will eat an actual "pegan" diet in which they consume: fresh fruits and veg, nuts and seeds, roots and tubers, and squash/gourds.
An excellent review.
What's sad is that it also has one of the highest if not the highest contrast ratio among all the Kindles. Most if not all the new ones are much worse in this aspect.
2024 i bought 17-40 around $270 for my sony a7iii
Audio and video slightly off
I have mine since 2009. The display broke twice and I replaced it myself (thanks YT tutorials). A great companion!
I randomly thought of a Kindle I won and never used, from 2010. I’m an author who prefers paper books. But I’m going to charge it and give it a try! Great video. Thank you for your insights. 🎉
Heyyy, great video. I was going to buy one of these, but i have read on the internet that you can't put an Amazon Account on these anymore, and more importantly, you can't pass archives from the pc to the kindle anymore, so.. just making these unusable for me as i wanted to get books and papers from the pc to the kindle to read. Is this true??
My Kindle Keyboard is around here somewhere... I've gotta find that little sucker. I do, however, still have my Kindle DX that I bought at a yard sale about 10 years ago for 10 or 15 bucks. Sucker still works like a charm... though the 3G doesn't work anymore. Meh. Not the end of the world. I do, however, want a "basic bitch" cheapie e-reader that'll read all the epubs that I have on my phone. I don't need all the fancy options. I don't need high refresh rates. I just need to be able to load up the file and turn the page.
Found mine at the swampmeet for 2$ yesterday! Thank for making this video!
I picked it up on a whim and almost finished the whole thing in a day. It was much better than I expected it to be
I had this one until 3 years ago, until someone sit on it et the screen was broken 😔
Cool beans 🤙🏼
As an addicted reader I hope you are right but at 71 years old reading and swimming will always be companions
Does this one have dark mode? I would imagine it doesn't given that I dont think they started doing that on kindles until fairly recently. But if this one does it would be everything im looking for 😭
I have a new Ipad BUT I really wanted an e-reader and last week I found one at the thrift store with its leather case and charger for $5!! I came home and it wouldn't work so after watching YT videos found out it was the battery so I replaced it with one from amazon for $20. Then watched books on how to update it and how to download books into it and now its good to go! For $25 I didn't mind the lil rocks on the road LOL!
The kindle keyboard has read me probably 100 books as I drove, and not just that, work documents in PDF format too! I'm out here stuck in NoVA traffic with kindle keyboard reading me a 15 page "brief" while I'm on the way to the meeting about it. Unfortunately, everything has kept moving and my new car has no aux input (only BT), and I'm already using a dongle to get a USB-A port so I can use a USB-micro cable. Still love the kindle keyboard though.
Thank u for the review, i'm going to order it.
As someone who sucks at reading books, these tips seem very useful. Not having to finish every book I read is quite liberating.
I can't register on my kindle keyboard ,It says Amazon account not found please tell me or guide me what should I do ??
Bought the book I was looking for some reviews…love listening to her…. Can’t wait to dive in.
Im getting this kindle tomorrow for 25 pound 😊
layperson layperson .... you are lame person!!! Tell us a bit of the theory
I have an argument to make...just listen to this..."Kindle could release the version in 2024 as Oasis2 and people who has never seen it will buy it like crazy...becz technically all features are upgrade to the current version😂"
I only read between the lines...
I'm reading this book and absolutely love it!!!!!
I just bought this, but I dont know how to use it can you teach me how pls, I'm unable to find the files I sent to it
I just read this book a few days ago and I can say I absolutely loved it. Like the Dean and Kane's moment made my heart flutter...
I been reading since 28 years old, I am 60 today. All my friends have passed on my age, they retire and don’t know what to do. Wow. Yes, it keeps you young and know what really is going on. Fiction is bullshit. I like psychology philosophy and science. Downey Cali
I used to read a lot of psychology and philosophy and they used to depress me and I would constantly have existential crisis. I was able to turn my life around when I stopped consuming that bullshit and started being playful and reading a lot of fiction. Now life is no longer serious, it is fun and full of wonder, I travel the world and different worlds and visit various galaxies with my imagination... yes fiction, it is indeed the fountain of youth.
@@denzel1877 ignorance is bliss. Fiction.
@@Californiansurfer Lol, let me challenge you: In this brief life would you rather be full of information and knowledgeable and depressed and suicidal, or would you rather be ignorant and be blissed out to the grave? You better say something profound otherwise you are just a fiction reader!! 😂😂
Whoever says reading is a waste of time IS a waste of time.
I have a PW5 and apart from some issues with displaying covers .. but sorted with calibre. It works fine and my kindle is now 10 years old
Something is missing… I am disconnected as I read. I always have to wonder what year, who is speaking… While I was thankful it was not a typical… I wished for a little more detail… Borrowed from my local library …
I have this Kindle but I can't get it to download books anymore. Have they ended support since this video or am I doing something wrong?
thanks it's helpful
Amen brother. Reading is very kind addiction, harming neither self or others. Needing only silence and solitude. Things rare in a noisy world!
I’ve still got mine that my brother bought 14 years ago for my 60th birthday, It’s leather cover with light is still in excellent condition and I’ve recently started using it again instead of iPad and iPhone… love it as it feels like a real book.
Has the battery life? My Voyage dies way too fast
try disabling the wireless connection when you aren't actively syncing should increase the battery life substantially
Brilliant video Thanks 👍🏽
I have one but it does not work because of the battery. I ordered a battery replacement from aliexpress but it did not work.
Just bought one in a mexican flea market for 150 pesos (like eight dollars) best purchase ever!!!!!!!
Actually it has much faster processing power than the display. It is like an old old, smartphone, or oldish cheap smartphone. You can type pretty much as fast as you want because the actual gui program is faster than the screen.
Not that long ago I found a kindle oasis 8th gen with original leather charging cover and I’m telling you, I use it more than my new 2022 kindle…..I just recently replaced the battery in it too and now it last me 10-15 days off one charge. I will never buy another kindle again until I HAVE to
I love that this book has you questioning the mental state of the main character throughout. You want to give a benefit of the doubt to every character that she is having difficulty because of the amount of abuse and trauma she suffered. At the very end everything I questioned about her fell away because she was the only character who saw everyone for who they really were. Even when you feel like she scrutinizes and judges others to harshly.
I my Kindle Gen2 won't isn't recognized as a portable device on my pc. I've tried finding the driver to install so that I can update through the USB since it is no longer able to access the whispernet. I've tried everything to update drivers. My PC recognizes when I plug in my iPhone so I know it's not my computer or usb drives or cables. Has anyone else had this issue and found a way to fix it?
It's most likely your usb cable I recommend trying a few different ones I had a similar issue and I went through four cables before I found one that worked
@@primelife33 I’ll try different ones and see if they work. Thanks for the suggestion
This book is so touching. The gorilla narration is amazing. I can't read aloud w/o choking up.
When I was in school, I got bullied for being a bookwork. I remember the school mean girls asked what I liked to do, and when I said read, one said in a very disgusted voice. "Is that all you do-read?" I remember turning away and feeling embarrassed and ashamed of my love for books. But now I see that I'm better off than those girls ever were. I bet all they did back then and now is just play on social media and watch streaming services that deaden their brains. I'm glad that reading has become a more socially acceptable hobby nowadays instead of something to be bullied over. Bookworm prime worldwide!
Mine is 14 years. Love it
Where are you buying your books from? So far ive only been able to get my hands on some classics that are out of copyright in mobi format.
Can we use it to read my own epub files??
Thank you 😊 I didn’t know first fact!
