    I use bookmark for maps and glossary, that sort of thing. Makes it easy to flip back and forth between where you are in the book and looking at the map or glossary.

    Lol the people who said “buy a watch” must not be night readers. Sorry but when I’m checking the time it’s not because it’s noon and daylight out, it’s because it’s 2:00 Am and I’m reading in the dark, and I need to know how bad I messed up. Honestly reaching over to look at my phone when my phone brightness is probably 100% also not a good idea at that time. 😅 3:14

    I've had a Kindle for 10 years, always in Airplane mode. That also removes the ads eventually as they expire. If you connect to wifi to check for software updates the ads will be back, but switching to airplane mode will again remove them after a while.

      Yes, it turns your pages--one part goes on the margin of the book, like a large paperclip (only way I can describe it) and is the receiver, the clicker is in your hand and turns the pages. They're available on Amazon. I also purchased a book holder to make it even easier.@@susysclips

    I bought my Kindle through an authorized seller (Best Buy, Staples, etc) and it was the same price as Amazon and doesn't have any ads. Note that this was in Canada so I can't say if it is any different at a US store. Saved $20 simply by not buying it directly on Amazon!

    I actually play Sudoku on the browser, and now that I managed to open my Google account, I can write in notes, check my calendar and also my mail (which I actually don't do, but I assume you can do it, too).
    The fonts tip is amazing! Though I don't think I have a favorite font that is not on my Kindle. I'll have to figure it out (maybe add the Robot language from Stray, so I can "learn a new language"? That's too geeky of me haha 😅)
    And about the ads, I bought mine used and it had no ads. Once I downloaded some free books from Amazon, it started showing ads and I had to contact Amazon Support and they very kindly did the job of removing them from mi Kindle. I haven't had ads since. A great option if, for any reason, yours start showing recommendations and such.
    Lastly, I use my Kindle in airplane mode 24/7 (except for when I play a Sudoku) and the battery lasts over two weeks. I usually charge it at 48% after two or three weeks (also I read about 30 minutes or so per day, about 5 days a week).
    Thanks a lot for the tips!

    In Canada the kindles come ad free anyway with no option to even buy one with ads. Likely because ads from the states would be irrelevant in Canada. Wonder if it’s ad free in the UK too? I like to use the bookmark feature because I read on my phone or iPad during the day and use the kindle when in bed. It picks up the last page read on whichever device I last used.

    Not sure about alexa app. I go to the Aa menu, go to more, enable assistive reader. For a variety of voice options go to main Kindle menu, device options, keyboard and language, text to speech and download additional voices. Why do I like this? Because British or Australian accented English reader has a less robotic sound to me making it sound more human to me. And to better understand your overseas tech help in the future there was added an Indian English one as well.

It is too small... do you know a way to enlarge that? Also, it is quite hard to read the books in my library. Is there a way to enlarge those?
    Do you know why some books by an author are only $1.99 and others are $16.99? Doesn't make sense.

    One thing I’m having trouble with at the Kindle site, is understanding the difference between archiving and deleting. When I had a Nook, I liked their system of having a bookshelf, and it seems like you could put a book away and not have to see it all the time, but it wasn’t deleted. I find the fact that my Kindle is clogged with so many books. I’ve already read super, super annoying. If you have any helpful hints Dylan, I’d really appreciate it. It’s driving me nuts.

    Hello Dylan for all these videos.
    Do you know a way to increase the font size of the kindle? I don't mean those of the book I'm reading but those of the system. Let say when I select a word for a definition (Yes, English isn't my first language ) the font is too small for me. I usually read without my glasses in bed :) .

    Here’s one - if you don’t like to see page in book/time in chapter/ etc… and have it turned off…. You can see all those stats on the fly by click the bottom of the book your in and cycle through them , and then back to it being gone.

    Now I did not get that switch at the top of the page to have my book I’m reading come up but my library came up. So that’s a big help. I called and they sent me to the kindle department, I have a Kindle white page 11t generation Thank you for the help. I enjoy help and tips thank you……. PS I’m keeping all the money 😂

    My biggest turn off when it comes to e-readers is the speed, esoecially with textbooks. I just don't want have the patience to wait until a page loads, especially if you have to zoom in and out on some details. Which e book is the fastest in terms of performance as of today? Thanks!

    Thank you! When having Alexa read a book to you, are you able to speed it up? I listen to most audiobooks at 1.5 speed.

    If you download an e-book from somewhere other than Kindle, some of your tips don't work. You cab;t have the book's cover display or change the font altough you can still change the size.. I am not sure whether Goodreads gets any information about any books you haven't sourced from Kindle

    My biggest complaint/issue with Kindle is the speed. I even noticed when you were demonstrating a feature you jumped ahead. I saw the skip in video. I'd rather read a real book unless they fix this issue (issue for me).

    I don't like the clock on the page, every time I start a new page I look at it. If I need the time I just tap the top of page and there's the time.

    “And that estimated time is not always accurate”. This is why it bothers me that Kindle doesn’t have an option to display the amount of pages until the end of a chapter. My other e-reader had this, and I really miss it on my Kindle…
