Very good in-depth review, thank you!
Thankyou for all the advice but none of them worked, but this did if people are willing to attempt easy to do. 1- split the casing away from the front screen 2 - unscrew all the screws you can see 3 - pop the screen away from the casing from the back 4 - disconnect the battery lead 5 - wait 5 minutes 6 - the screen will still have the frozen page on it with the battery disconnected 7 - attach the battery clip together 8 - reassemble back in reverse order 9 - restart your kindle as normal
Or wait for battery to drain and reconnect charger
Unfortunately, none of this is working for the current mac kindle app. Appreciate you trying but ive spent an entire day trying and this is no longer possible at least for people who dont have a kindle reader. I believe the new format may be azw8. Anyway looking forward to a workaround if you ever find one. Maybe getting a physical kindle device is the only way now.
Hey Jason, I pinned the comment advising that indeed the steps no longer work for Mac. The process still works for Windows tho. Will share a new video if I ever come across a solution for Mac. All the best!
What do you look for most in an e-ink tablet? Drop your opinion below!
I look forward to an e-reader without ghosting, with a large battery capacity and good portability
Great review. How does the battery life of the 4C compare with a non-backlight device like the Go10.3?
Hey Bernard, unfortunately I don't have Go 10.3 to compare. I'm still testing the battery to share more solid stats/life expectations of this device.
Hi! Calibre doesn’t seem to see my kindle any more. Does anyone have this problem? I am trying to connect via usb. It used to work. Not anymore. Thanks for reading!
Thanks 😊
You're welcome!
Thanks 😌 I need this comparison 😃
Glad I could help!
I paid 21 dollars to an ad removed version. They sent me a version with ad and when I reached customer support they were very rude to me.
The DeDRM won't install for me. It says it does not contain a top-level __init__.py file.. Edit: I've successfully installed the plug-ins. But it still does not work to remove the DRM
I intend to use Paper Pro for use in capturing notes for my clients. Do I set up a 'File' for each client? And then a Note? ... all of the reviewers I have looked at lose me because you are using words that YOU know but I DON'T ! I would like to see a demonstration of how someone would use the Paper Pro to take notes in a client meeting, and THEN how to file it or organize it so that I can easily go back and review whenever I want and on whatever device it has been synced to. You do a good job of explaining a lot of stuff but when you say 'Beginner' to me, it means I have NEVER used something like this and my brain is wired to pen and paper note taking! I am truly a 'Beginner'!
I have spent quite a bit time on the reMarkable Paper Pro page. I found out that the company plans on 5 years of further firmware updates after it comes OFF the market and they no longer sell it. I see it being on the market for at least 2 more years while the company plays catchup with Boox. A tablet with support up to 2032 is a pretty compelling reason to go with reMarkable.
Can they just release a smaller paperwhite, ill buy it in a heartbeat 😮💨 i want the basic size but i also want waterproofing and warm light 😅
I was given a hand me down 7th gen and I honestly love it. I wanted an 11th gen, but the 7th has been more than enough, and I'm super happy to have been blessed with it!
thank you so much, I had a mini heart attack when at first nothing worked. One thing I saw in reddit is: hard tapping on the left side can fix the issue of them not turning on
The Sennheriser is barley better than the built in mic. Wow you saved me from buying this bad mic. I thought the Sennheiser would be the best.
How does browsing through your written notes feel? Is there any search function? Thanks.
it doesn't works
Long explanation no good result it does not work with files borrowed from the internet archive
can you please show some comics on the 12? can you zoom in? how is the interface? I'm considering one for my kids
nice one mate
i just wish there was a white boox note air 4c
Does the 12th gen have the same problem of getting accidentally turned on/restarted when you prop it up against a wall or something? My 10th gen's power button location _really_ annoys me because I read it both in the portrait position in the day and the landscape orientation at night when I'm lying on the side so no-matter how I set the text, at least one of them always hits the power button and turns off the display
What would you say about the battery life from the 10th gen vs 12th gen?
Hey hey! Thanks for the review. I noticed the PDF you uploaded kept its colors. I am a cognitive science student, and my PDF books contain lots of colors that make it easier for me to remember things. Does Remarkable Paper Pro support the colors from the original PDF files? (I don't expect of course the same brightness or nuances, but just basic red/blue/yellow/whatever.
Hey there, RPP does handle colors pretty well and I don't do anything special to my PDFs for the colors to be displayed correctly. I think you will be fine with basic colors but I suspect it may be difficult to differentiate between shades of the same colors or more nuanced colors. You can also check my more recent videos where I do side-by-side comparison with another e-ink device; that may give you some more insights. All the best!
Hi, is it worth upgrading from the 10th gen to the 12th gen?
Hi Leanne, please watch the end of the video where I answer this question. All the best!
it seems to me that you are comparing them wrong because the screen in the boox has the front light on all the time. I'd like to see both with the front light off. Is not a fair comparison
Good point. I release a full review of BOOX Note Air 4C today where I compare it with reMarkable Paper Pro and specifically test it with and without frontlight. Hope it is going to be useful. All the best!
I read my kindle books on an iPad. So what serial number am I looking for?
Hello, is it legal to safe a book i bought as .pdf? There are 2 questions about your step buy step tutorial. 1)One has to download Kindle for PC ver. 2.4.0 from "Uptodown" filehoster ....and then to buy a book i have to login with my data. But if this KindleForPC Version is manipulated , the heve my login for amazon!???? .....and 2)Also if i use the .bat file , to prevent kindle Updates, i also cant know what this does to my pc. ................PLEASE CAN YOU EXPLAIN how we can be shure?
I don`t know how they can justify the price of a kindle. They are so expensive for what you actually get. You can buy a tablet cheaper which can do a lot more than a kindle and you can read books with it.
I really dislike when people call it the "budget" or "affordable Kindle." It implies the Paperwhites and above are superior. I have had the Oasis, Scribe, SE, and the base PW. I will always prefer the Basic. Not because it's cheap, or budget, or only viable while traveling. But because it offers a VERY enjoyable experience. EDIT: Also, I'm jealous! Your borders are so symmetrical. Like, where the front bezels meet the back plastic. Especially on the top, there's literally no gap. I've seen quite a few units with uneven left or right cracks and a thick gap on top. I know mine does, alongside a sharp (as though it were not sanded) line on the left-hand side. It's quite sad, really, this will be my second time exchanging. I'm hoping I won't need to a third time.
Hey there, I completely understand where you're coming from. The "budget" or "affordable" label isn't meant to imply that the Basic Kindle is inferior in quality or experience. It simply reflects its price point within Amazon’s lineup, making it an entry-level option compared to the Paperwhite, Scribe, or Oasis. That said, I agree the Basic Kindle offers a fantastic reading experience! It's lighter design, compact size, and crisp display make it a great choice for many, regardless of price. I’ve heard similar stories about people preferring it for those reasons alone, even after trying higher-end models. Also, sorry to hear about the uneven gaps and sharp edges on your unit-manufacturing inconsistencies like that can be frustrating. I hope your replacement is flawless this time. All the best!
Good analysis! Thanks!
in my experience, reading book in 6 inch screen is more enjoyable as you just spend a few secs per page. it tricked you to think you are reading a lot and faster :-)
Helpful good review, I subscribed 🌹👍
Helpful good review, I subscribed 🌹👍
Still works (18/11/2024) today for Windows
In all honesty, without sounding like a heretic, is a good tablet (Android or iPad) with a pen, going to be the real competition to the current and next generation of e-ink devices? Just a question, not trying to slam e-ink. Thanks.
I just want to read it with a better ai text to speech
My first ereader was the sony prt1, this device had nearly no ghosting or flashing effects when turning the pages... When I see both of the readers, I see that the book has better refresh and doesn't blink when using colors. That is very annoying... I would say that I need an ereader with the size of the remarkable and use of pen and the functionalities, colors,... of the book. So too bad for me, I can't really choose. But if I really need to choose, then I would chose the book because I don't see the screen flash. That is the most annoying thing that I can have in a reader...
Outstanding review. The Penstar eNote is a very attractive device, but for my own purposes, the deal-breaker is the need to be connected to the internet for handwriting to be transcribed into text. I need to be able to work completely offline. Otherwise, it looks marvelous.
is it safe converting an azw3 (utorrent acquired) on calibre that has my kindle serial number? thanks!
Yes, it is. Nothing bad will happen as long as the downloaded file is not a virus/spyware/corrupted.
@ thank you!
What a fantastic comparisment! I got the 11 second hand after watching your review. 🎉

What you say is totally different with the footage, on all comic footage Remarkable seems much better than Boox.
