This video is about kindle, kindle paperwhite, kindle unlimited, how a kindle works, comparing two models, amazon kindle, reader, e-reader
i was so concerned that i would miss the feeling of an actual book but i feel the same way. i actually find myself reading WAY more and even more into the story.
YES! I love it sm!
I was humbled by somebody saying: “if the thrill of turning a paper page is such a crucial aspect in your life, perhaps whether or not to get a kindle should be the least of your concerns.” 😅
for me, it's because i can read in so many different positions! like with a kindle I can read curled up and under blankets, but I can't do that with a paper book
I'm sure it's not about book
., but it's more about the story
Kindles are great for dyslexia and irlen syndrome too, they have the open dyslexic font and a reading ruler. Both of these things allow me to read in every light setting without seeing rivers or a haloing effect on the words I’m reading
I love that!!!💖💖💖💖
one of the reasons why i wanna get a kindle!!
dyslexic font is the only reason i read books now it was a pain before
This was super helpful! I actually ordered a new Kindle during Prime Day (and am trading in my old 2018 Paperwhite) because I hated the lag on the old one and I think that really kept me from using it! You actually get the trade-in value plus a 20% discount on the new one, so it was a no-brainer for me to upgrade for only $30! Plus there’s an option for a 3 month trial to Unlimited. Super excited for the new one to arrive!
me and my mom have been looking into getting kindles and this video is a lifesaver :')
I really liked your review. I have a 2020 KP, and I'm thinking of upgrading it. Your review really helped me to decide.
This review was so helpful! So glad I came across your channel, can’t wait to watch all your videos!
I’m so glad! Thank you 🥰🥰 means a lot!
Thank you for this! I really wanted to see a comparison of the page turn!
Never have seen you before, but thank you youtube for recommending me this video. I've been using e-books for about 10 years and never thought about putting pop-socket on them. That's so simple and genius that I'm actually upset that I didn't think about it myself 😄
AW thank you for your kind words! 😁 pop sockets are a game changer!!
I have my collections of physical editions, e-books just save so much space. Great video!!
wow, i love the idea of using a pop socket for the kindle! never thought of it, but i will definitely try!
It’s a game changer!
Reading fics on kindle has been a game changer! Thanks for the review 💜
Omg YES! I have a ton of fanfics on my kindle and I love it. Thanks for watching!🥰
Didn't know you can read fanfics on a kindle. Definately a game changer.
I’m a complete ignorant about the kindle, what it can and can’t do so like can you browse the internet with a kindle to read websites like AO3? 😂
@@lethyguaimare u go on ao3 and download it and can import it to ur kindle :)
@@xojazzle so it doesn’t allow for internet browsing then?
i was waiting for this one!
Hope this was helpful!🥰
I have the Kobo Clara 2E. This thing changed my life. I am reading much more than I ever did. I have 41 books in my wishlist. Now it's just a matter of finding the time to read them. I am in love with my e-reader. I love the dictionnary functionality to learn new words. The best 150 euros ever spent !!!!
I’ve heard a kobo is great as well! Ereaders rlly change the reading game :) I also love the dictionary feature!
I love Kobo too. Even an older model from 2018 is pretty snappy as well.
while i do love the feeling of physical books, i realized that i simply read more on my electronic devices. it's a little bit more cumbersome for me to take out a book on the subway, read, set a bookmark, close it, put it back in my bag, etc etc, instead of simply sliding my phone out of my pocket and getting a few chapters in. i find myself reading less often when i carry physical books around
I agree w this! It’s so convenient :)
Super helpful!
I absolutely love my Kindle Paperwhite and I have decorated the back with stickers and have a popsocket. I'm definitely a kindle girl 💕🙂
i saw ur album for dramione and immediately subscribed!!
I put a pop socket on mine too, it's the best upgrade - highly recommend!
Pop socket is such a game changer 🙌
I just got this kindle for my birthday I am so happy to see this video
AH! I hope you love ur kindle!!🫶🫶
I’ve been debating between this, and the oasis. Your pov was informative, and is making me consider between the two; although I feel I’d need more gigabytes. For me with this device I want to have the best amount of storage/capability in mind. As with most tech I’ve had in the past didn’t last long in memory, and I want the best bang for my bucks as I don’t want to get another one for at least 8 years; which is a lot of books over time. This is also understandable given I’m a uni student, but also similar to you I’d like to have a digital copy; as well as a physical hard cover copy. So that I have variability. So your thoughts helped a lot, and I’m a new subscriber!!!
100% go the oasis route. The physical buttons are the best (the voyage had buttons on the side and then nothing until the oasis!) and honestly it’s more impactful than you might expect. The fingerprints on the screen from page turning drive me batty. The oasis can Bluetooth audio books not sure about the paper white. I think the oasis has a better battery life as well. Larger screen and it’s easier to hold with the larger side panel with the buttons. I pick my oasis over my old paperwhite any day and it has nothing to do with lag. The oasis is top tier and worth the money hands down
Good comparison between new and old models, thanks
now i want a new kindle 😭🤭
ITS SO WORTH IT
i hope that is not a joke 🤭
I have the 2018 version and I love how small it is, but I love the updated tech of the new one 😭
Sameeee. Like mine works just fine and I can't justify getting a new one, but the temptation is there. 😭
@@pashminaaadamn, i was about to start reading on Kindle and buying the 2018 due to my tight budget 😞, can you guys tell if it’s worth it? This vid is making me consider spending more than i should.. to the kindle..
@@Moonart7758 I have the 2019 regular basic( not paperwhite version) that I got almost 2 years ago that I am looking to upgrade to the new paperwhite. The only reason I’m upgrading is because of my eyes & that I did use it everyday afterall. That and the battery doesn’t last as long but I still go a week and a half between charges. I got the cheapest one I could afford at the time first just to make sure I’d actually use it everyday and it’d be worth the investment. So I want the warmth/dark feature (my eyes are bad) the paperwhite has. My old does lag quite a bit, but I just add it to my kindle unlimited library on my phone so it will automatically add to my kindle. I was going to get the upgraded basic kindle but decided on the paperwhite bc I use my kindle everyday & my basic 2019 is pretty similar to the new basic it just only has backlight feature. The new one is faster and has better battery. I say the paperwhite is worth the investment bc I’ve been saving up to get it (I hope it goes on sale black friday/cyber monday). However the new basic looks really nice and its only 99$ and it was recently updated to have the dark feature also. I think going for the new basic vs paperwhite 2018 may be the move since the basic was recently updated. There may also be refurbished new paperwhites that are cheaper on amazon
Yeah I like the smaller model. I would enjoy the bigger screen for manga though
I hear you. I have the Kindle Paperwhite Signature edition (the 2022 one with 32gb storage and no ads)….and I love it, it’s truly lightning-fast - and also because after ages you can finally organize books by collections (which is a new late-2022 feature on the Kindle devices). 💖 I had the 2018 model too, but I sold it because I didn’t use it much….probably exactly because it was sooo slow I always ended up reading on the Kindle app on my iPad.
Instead I don’t like Kindle Unlimited - since cancelling your Kindle Unlimited subscription cancels all the books you read with it, any book gotten through wouldn’t feel really “mine” to me; plus, I love re-reading my books whenever I want and if that need happened after I deleted (for whatever reason) my K.U. subscription I’d have to buy the book again. That’s why I prefer paying the one-time price for every book (all of which are romance LOL) I want to read….which given the super cheap prices most of them have is still incredibly convenient and affordable.
I also don’t like reading mangas on Kindle very much - which I use mainly for books - and prefer using my iPad for that because you can see the colored pages.
Question: if you purchase a book, can it be stored on the cloud or is the cloud actually KU?? I agree with having a book that is “mine”.
@@3n1asl2 Sorry, but what’s KU? 😅 In any case all the Kindle e-books you buy are automatically stored on Amaz0n’s own cloud, meaning their servers, and linked to your account (via the record of the purchase…be that the single e-book’s or the Unlimited subscription), allowing for their download on any device.
I just ordered my first ever kindle today. It's a paperwhite 11th generation. I can't wait to get it.
Hope u enjoy it!!
@@xojazzleThanks. I hope so. I am disabled, so it's hard for me to hold physical books sometimes. Really hoping this will help.
I really wanted one! But I really NEED COLORS, Idk why but seeing the black and white covers makes me a little anxious.
Kindle fire is in color. I use my kindle fire to search books. I use my paperwhite to read them
Just ordered mine.😭😭😍😍
Hope you love it!
I have the 2022 version after having my mums old one since I was 10 and it broke down after 7 years so that's why I got the 2022 version for Christmas and omg I read every new book that comes out and if I don't like it then I won't buy the physical copy but I mainly use it for big books like haunting and hunting adeline they are thick and big
Hi! thank you for this review. Did your case turn yellow with time?
I would have like to see how you hold your Kindle with that rounded thing on the back. I’ve seen people with that on their phone and I think it may be a better idea with an errader.
The 2022 set is huge. I prefer the 2018 paperwhite’s size, never mind the slight lagging compared to the 2022. 😅 Thanks for your video anyway.
I was about to buy the 2018 one 😭, can you please tell if they’re still good?
I’m very much concerned about the lags that i have to wait while it loaded (i feel like I’m wasting small of my time away while waiting). I’m reconsidering my choices because of low budget but yah please enlighten this new e-book reader
@@Moonart7758I have a Kindle Paperwhite from 2012 that I use ALL the time and it hasn’t given me any issues in over 10 years of using it. It does take a moment longer to display things (more so on the Home Screen when it’s trying to load book titles, it’s a faster when it’s just page turning). But it’s just a moment longer. I’m only looking to upgrade as a nice-to-have and so I can pass my current Kindle down to one of my kids (even though this Kindle is older than they are, it still works great! 😂).
Hi Jasmine, great video 😊
I think you might want to update your software on the old one,
because i have the same problem too on my ‘old’ kindle and it fixed after the update.
I actually sold my old kindle 😅
girl you are so beautiful!! i love my kindle!
ur so sweet thank u!!!🥹🥹 & kindles r srsly a game changer. Literally my emotional support device hahah
My amazing husband knows how much I love to read so he got me one for my birthday/ mother's day since they are on the same day this year
omg that’s so sweet! Happy early bday and Mother’s Day 🥰
@@xojazzle thank you so much I never thought I would like e-readers but this kindle has definitely changed my opinion
Belated Happy Mother’s Day and Happy Birthday 🎉what an amazing husband ❤
I currently read on my kindle fire, which is fine but its heavy and i find that when i want to read, i find myself playing games instead. I'm obsessed with the green color and i don't have to worry about mixing it up with my moms kindle.
That’s one of the reasons why I didn’t get a kindle fire! I also didn’t want a screen with blue light and wanted a device to give my eyes a break :)
@@xojazzle My mom and i both have kindle fires, she has a separate kindle just for reading. she constantly brags about it.
How did you get your books from your old kindle to your new one? Do they Transfer automatically? Thanks 😊📚
i found my fav book series through the ads it was vary unknown series it only had like 150 reviews
Is the basic kindle paper white 2022 the same size as the kindel 7th gen ? I currently have it and there is NOTHING wrong and I love the fact that it’s so small, but I definitely want dark mode.
i looooove my kindle! but i just have one from like 2015 still and am gonna wait until it's unusable before upgrading x) the new one looks so big tho! was considering going for kindle basic perhaps... 📚
Wow! I didn't know they last this long
@@monopoly340 My Kindle is from 2012 and it still works perfectly fine. 🥰
I have the 2015 gen 7 too ❤
i had the 2019 one and it recently stopped working lol! lucky your one is lasting that long! I'm due for an upgrade apparently ahaha
I have my Kindle from 2015 too! Still like new lol. I want a newer version but I don't think it's that big of a difference for me to get it.
For someone who have migraines I love the dark mode on my paper white!
I actually love the glitches and slow reaction, but I absolutely understand how much it can stress ppl as we're all used to smartphones, I'd explode if my phone worked like this
I really want a kindle but it’s pretty expensive and I’m scared that after spending so much money i also have to pay for most of the books and that the free options are just a few
I never knew there was a sage green 😮 I want it now 😭
Yes! They didn’t have them for the initial 2022 but colors came out recently. Im curious if they’ll come out with a pink one bc that’s a color they had for the 2018 release
@@xojazzle I would 💯 upgrade my 2021 PW if it came out in pink.
They originally released the basic 2022 Kindle with denim and black, but in the last month or 2 they released denim and agave green for the PW, unfortunately it’s not available in any other countries but USA.
i didnt know they released coloured kindles in bigger size. I have the old small one is blueish green, and i wanted the bigger in pink size.. very sad they didnt release a pink version
Yes! I’m sad they didn’t release a pink version too :( also sad it took them SO long to release colors in the bigger size bc they were so popular with the smaller one!
@@xojazzle completely agree. I wanted to get a bigger one last year, despite my 2018 model (which I bought in 2021) working fine. But I didn’t want just a plain black one, no. I guess I will wait until the next model comes out in like 2025 😂
Ok her reason for getting the 16 gb is soo truee
I have the same Sage Green Paperwhite 2018! Do you prefer the bigger screen of the 2022? I kind of want a bigger screen but also a bit worried that it would be too big compared to the portability of the 2018. Would love to hear your thoughts! :)
I actually do prefer the bigger screen! It’s really nice to use compared to the 2018 version!
The 6.8” PW is actually a 2021 model, and the 2022 6” is significantly smaller, I seen at the shop the other day but in this video, because it’s a 2018 PW, despite it being 6” it doesn’t look as small as the newer one. I think with the newer ones they don’t have as much black around the sides. I highly recommend upgrading not necessarily for the size but the warm light feature, truly a game changer. The new PW has all the features of the Oasis minus the physical buttons.
Great! Will take note of these. Thank youu! :D
Dang. Even the new kindle took forever to scroll and change pages. That lag would drive me crazy. Maybe I'll just stick to my kindle app on my phone, it's smaller but wow. I couldn't handle a device that laggy.
Honestly it's really not that bad, and it's much easier to deal with when you know that the reason it's slow is to extend the battery life
hi !! apart from the lag on the screen, what other downsides are there with kindle 2018? i’m sooo close to buying one since it’ll be my first and especiallyyy since they’re more budget friendly for me right now but at the same time i need reassurance & i’d like to be knowledgeable with what i’m getting.
It doesn't have warm light but it does have dark mode. Apart from that, the 2018 PW works fine.
girl your eyes are sooo beautiful
This kind of videos makes me wanna buy it,but then I remember I'm a physical book reader myself Lol. Its so cute tho ❤
Don’t knock it til u try it! Hehe I used to be a strict physical books only, but kindles rlly change the game🤭
I used to be a physical reader only gal too but once I got a Kindle it’s truly a game changer, you even read faster on a Kindle, don’t ask me how but you’ll hear plenty of people saying they read so much more on a Kindle.
i swore i was too. and finally got one knowing that if i hated it i could return it. let’s just say i haven’t thought twice about returning it
@@xojazzle if I have an iPad, do you think I should buy the kindle?
It's definitely strange. My girlfriend was 100% like that and swore she only likes physical books. Got her a Paperwhite and she's been reading more than before. I've been thinking of picking one up for myself. Give it a go at least!
you forgot the light on it.
Нет слов, просто потрясающе
can you up;oad any books like epub/ebook on your kindle?
Gorgeous
Hi! This is a silly question probably and I can see it in your video, but is it only in black and white, as in the pages? For some reason this never crossed my mind and seeing all the books in black and white kinda just bothered my eyes lmao. Do you know if there is a way to change this?
It’s black and white! :)
i bought a basic 2022 kindle in blue jeans colour, and so far it suck on kindle unlimited because its jammed. but i dont care that much cause i downloaded books and put it inside my library without buying.
I got a Kindle so I could be a ble to read in the dark at night. Changed my life.
YES!!! GAME CHANGER
Love my kindle, however you either by the one with ads or the one without. Amazon can’t just turn the ads off
If u chat with them they can:) or u just pay $20 to take it off
does the ads only show up when you’re not using it because i had some people say that the ads would pop up when they are reading and i don’t know if it’s worth the extra 20 dollars to remove them
Mine only shows up when ur not using it
Have you by chance tried to use a strapsicle with that case? I want one... but I have no clue if it will actually work with it.
I haven’t! :(
@Jasmine dang! They look so great.... but I can't find a single person with this case who has tried one lol.
I want a kindle badly, but I can’t justify the purchase when i already have an ipad (fairly new) and the books app is good enough.
I kinda felt the same way bc I own an iPad & HATED reading on it. but I bit the bullet when the kindle was on sale and purchased it and there’s a few reasons why I enjoy it more than my iPad! My eyes strain when I read on my iPad, but that isn’t the case w the kindle bc there’s no blue light! I also wasn’t a huge fan of the size of my iPad, but a kindle is smaller and lighter so it’s easier to just bring with you everywhere or read like laying down or something. & lastly I like having a designated place for all my books and the storage on my iPad isn’t hurt by books 😁
Depends how much you read. You won’t get the eink, warm light and battery life on an iPad like on a Kindle.
where do you get your manga
what if i can’t pay for the kindle unlimited for whatever reason? can you purchase just a digital version of one book if i wanted to?
Yesss you can buy books individually too!
You can buy individual books!:)
I have never had kindle unlimited. I have a library of books I've picked up free/cheap on sale over the years such that I never lack for reading material!
Im thinking of trading in my 2018 paperwhite with a basic 2022. I can live without the waterproof and flushed screen lol.
That’s a good idea! I don’t rlly ever bring mine anywhere where I would need the waterproof feature. Maybe the pool but even then, it’s just on a bench tanning 🤣
I was tempted the other day as the 2022 6” looks so cute 😍 it seems smaller than the 2018 PW even though they’re both 6”. I’d love to see a side by side pic of the 2, but I couldn’t let go of the Warm light 😊
Does the clear case make the KPW heavier to hold with a popsocket ?
In my opinion it doesn’t! It still feels pretty light
Great! Thanks for responding. Very nice review !
omg also the BEST at airports, no more creepy guys asking me what i'm reading x)
HAHAH YES
Don’t know if that’s the case, but maybe your old kindle have full or almost full memory and that’s why is so slow. I compared turning pages on my 7th gen and it was so much faster that your old one, but mine is doesn’t have even half the memory taken.
Unfortunately my kindle wasn’t almost full memory and idk what was wrong with it. But I did have it for quite a few years
Great review! I think i'll go with the new Paperwhite, i like the bigger screen. I just hope my screen doesn't fade like my old one
Yes! I definitely think it’s worth it😁
how do u upload other books that aren’t on the kindle shop ( like fan fics / pirated books ) i tried using the usbc cord and sending the epubs from my laptop but it took so long…
You can convert epubs to mobi files (the file it takes to go upload to kindles) using a platform called “calibre” I believe!
@@xojazzle Thanks! Also, where do you prefer to download your books.. a lot of the ‘ free ‘ libraries are getting shut down😞
@@michaela8228 Tbh I do not pirate books 😅 I’m lucky enough to be able to have books accessible to me and also lucky to be able to purchase things/get things sent to me. I hardly purchase on my kindle bc I use kindle unlimited and sometimes will get e-books sent to me
Hi, what's the firmware version you've got out of the box?
I’m not sure but I can check
right when the video started I was like "omg shes so pretty".
omg thank u so much🥹
If you return the book that you read, all your annotations are deleted?
This kindle version looks amazing
No! So if you decide to get the book again, u can see all the annotations you made during the time u first read it :)
@@xojazzle Oh, that's really good! Thanks for answering
@@larimartt ofc!! hope this was helpful :)
If you’ve got Goodreads, it’ll be in your Goodreads too even when you return your book to KU
Hi! I am so confused about the Kindle line up.. this one was the 6.8 Kindle Paperwhite is it release 2022?But when I searched it was release 2021? 😮😅 waaaa which is which 😅😂
Hi! If you go to this link amazon shows which kindle is which. I have the newest release so it is 2022! :) www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GK33S847NN4V6Y83
It's 16 gig version that was released in 2022 . I think all specs are same
Not me watching this video even though I own the new paperwhite😂
I rather just use the Kindle Fire, its in color and you have access to other things.
I can’t find the agave green one, only black and blue 😢
I have it linked in the description! :)
I legit just said out loud to myself, "what beautiful eyes," because damn, your eyes are beautiful.
Thank you so much!😊
Okay...is the screen in only black and white?
Yes
Gurl which Winx Club FF you readin'? 👀
HAHAH OMG PLSSS. I had a few on there and they were okkkk🤣
Thanks for you Video. I have an older model Paperwhite 6". I want to purchase new cases for them, but too hard as I do not know how to find the version, can you help me?? I am an older person, so not exactly electronic Savvy. Tried Amazon chat to no avail
screaming at the dramione fanfics folder
Wow, couldn't wait three seconds for a book to open or half a second to turn a page?
I have a kindle! And honestly it’s not just being lazy it’s wanting to bring a small device with LOADS of books instead of a big chunky book that’s heavy. Personally it’s just more practical!
I know i'm probably exaggerating but i feel like even my kindle touch is faster than your 2018 one hahaha
BOYS OF TOMMEN!
HEHE my current read🤭
I'm para.ysed by a stroke and this device is wonderful for e
kindle unlimited is only worth it if you read 2 or more books a month im a slow reader soooo
I would get it for a month, download like as many books as possible in that month then put the kindle on airplane mode or turn off the Wi-Fi .
i mean the new one should be faster and better ofc
But sometimes new models don’t really make a huge difference! Like some of the iPhones for example
Side note: you have the prettiest eyes 🫶🏻
Thank you so much! 🥰
I have the 2018 sage green and this is making me want to upgrade to that exact green one too 🥹😂
HAHA the upgrade is worth it! Especially if you trade in ur old kindle :)
