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.
That is actually genius! I am gonna that it like that too now
Such an awesome idea!
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
Haha exactly!! You get it!
@@dylancanread it would be such a waste to buy a watch specifically for checking the time when you're using your kindle especially when every device we use daily already has a clock at the top lol

In my perspective of the video there are chapters but I know that sometimes they don’t upload right when the video uploads and takes a little time. That might’ve been the issue.
THANK YOU- I looked for timestamps and was so frustrated there were none lol
If anyone is wondering where “Device Cover” setting has gone, it is now under “Screen and brightness” and not under “Device options” anymore.
Is this valid also for the kindle basic? I just bought one but I can’t find “device cover” where you said either
found it. thank you for this!!!
Thank you! I’ve been looking for this feature for awhile ❤
If Amazon declines removing the ads for free you can tell them that some of the titles were disturbing and you have kids that see your kindle
First thing I did, still works!
#25 worked for me a few weeks ago no questions asked. I was just sure to give the employee a good rating to help them out a little bit too.
They told me yesterday that they couldn’t do that on their end anymore so what they did was have me pay and then refund me that order. So still free but extra steps
Chatting with an Amazon rep to remove my ads worked! I did it within the Amazon app without a problem. Thanks so much for these tips!
I got a Kindle for Christmas last month, and your videos have been really helpful for me😁
I'm so glad! Thank you!
My favorite Kindle "trick" isn't really a trick at all I guess, but an add on device. I love having the remote page turner for my kindle for when I am huddled under a blanket.
Wow what is that called
Saaaame! That page turner rocks 🎉❤
best thing ever I dont know why kindle did not make this an amazon product even if it was wired to the usb port.
I read a lot of classic literature, and Wordwise has come in handy: I'm not constantly looking up archaic words.
It worked for me. I have the ad free version and now! I can see the cover the book I’m reading now too. Thanks!
I LOVE your top!! Thank you for all the tips and tricks!
Lots of good information. I put my books into collections by favorites, samples to purchase later, books I own, and a few other categories. Thanks for sharing.
Love the collection option
Thanks for all the helpful tips! Love your channel! ♥
Thank you so much! I’m glad the tips were helpful! :)
Great video. I’m a new kindle user and you have neatly outlined all (or, at least many) of the different features. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
This was very helpful to me. Thanks!
Love these videos, thank you. 🙏
Thank you! :)
Thank you! I was able to use a few of your tips today.
I’m so glad! Thanks for watching :)
Very helpful video. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I did not know about Alexa reading. I love audio books but the subscription is ridiculous. So this is great.
I’m glad it was helpful!
Wow about the Alexa app! This will be great for my intellectually disabled son.. he loves reading but struggles a lot, so being able to turn any of his books into audio books is amazing 😊 Ty for the info
Thanks Dylan! Every video from you is always very informative. I’m looking for a Kindle that has “all” the bells and whistles. Many thanks!
Thank you so much for the helpful tips.
Great video. Thanks for the tips. I have to say I love your shirt!
Wow I've had a kindle for a few years and learned so many new things! Excited to try them out!
I’m glad it was helpful!
Dylan Thank you for posting.
Thank you for watching! :)
Thanks for these handy tips. I've just revived my Kindle from its home on the shelves. Time for some serious reading while on holiday/vacation.
"Show covers on lock screen" - has been moved on the Kindle Paperwhite software version 5.16.8. To get to it you should do the following.
To display the book cover on the lock screen of a Kindle Paperwhite, you typically go to Settings -> Screen and brightness -> Show covers on lock screen and ensure this option is checked
I was initially sceptical but these tips and tricks were all genuinely useful. thank you!
You can also adjust the margins. I have my margins really indented so that way I can connect my kindle clicker. Which if you haven’t purchased the clicker, then that’s a game changer.
I love the clicker-one reason I switched to a Kindle was the struggle to hold the book open in bed and this made the whole process even easier to just advance pages.
I’m just about to purchase my first kindle. Would you mind explaining what a clicker is? I’m assuming it’s something to turn pages in some manner? TIA
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
The ad remove through the chat rep works! Just did it and left the rep a good rating for his help.
Thank you for the tips! Also, just realize, I got the same sweater you got! I even wore it today 😂
I had no clue about the _pinch_ option to increase/decrease the font! 🙄 Also, I had wondered how in the world the X-Ray feature worked! Good to know next time I read a Dickens and have to try to keep up with 57 characters! 😂 Thanks for sharing! 📚
LOL that's what I remember about Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations, sooo many characters 😅
@@mightyowl1800 Right?! I had to take notes when I read The Pickwick Papers! 🤣
I’m so glad the video was useful! :)
Try War and Peace next time, guys. 100's of characters, and to make it more complex, their nicknames!
The pinching to change font size is nice to know. Sometimes I like to change sizes and it is pretty cumbersome to click so many times just to change the font size (first world problems I know lol)
Tip 25 is my favourite and I’m using it for years. I never had a problem, and probably removed ads from 10 devices or so over the years.
Thanks man
The last tip, Alexa, is the best! Thank you.
So glad it was useful! :) thanks for watching!
Wordwise says it's for kids and people learning English. I'm neither of those, but I still like to use it.
It is such a cool feature!
It worked, the Amazon associate was so kind and told me it usually costs $20 but he would remove them for me for free! Thank you so much for that tip!!
Word wise and vocabulary builder are great for me (I'm not a native English speaker). Btw. word wise is quite old. I used it 5 years ago.
The pinch to zoom is clutch for nighttime reading. Wish they had a way to auto schedule styles for reading like they have for warm light. Appreciate your content. I've been reading so much since upgrading to a signature paperwhite and a fire HD 10 food manga.
*for manga. Lol
For the bookmark option: if you want to go to your book marked page(s), just hit that same corner again. It is MUCH faster that way
Ok, I like your tee shirt!!
Just replaced my OG kindle paper white from 2016 with a new one. Charger stopped working not the device! Needed a little refresh for the new options ! Thanks man!
Word Wise is also great for kids that are learning to read more complicated books. My daughter who is in 2nd grade this year says it really helps her.
I was able to have the ads removed! Thanks for your help.
Glad it helped!
For those who read fanfiction, the browser is great for that. Best to use article mode to be able to change font size, though. Also possible to download fics off AO3 directly and load it up to the kindle.
Do you have a video on how to listen to a kindle book? (Not an audiobook)
Great video! Have any favorite custom fonts?
Can I add audiobooks from Audible to my kindle library ? Thanks love your channel
I'm glad you brought up ads. I was thinking about purchasing a Kindle but I saw something about a lockscreen ad. Was kind of confuse as to what it meant by that, like is it a literal ad on the lockscreen. So are you telling me that something I paid for will be showing me ads on my lockscreen?!
Yup, if you buy one with a lockscreen ad, your screensaver will be ads for books. Good thing he shared that last tip to get rid of them!
I talked to three different people in chat, none of them were willing to remove ads for free.
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.
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!
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.
Great tips, very informative, thank you. Can we read a kindle unlimited book via Bluetooth, not Audible. Can you please show that as I cannot find any videos on it.
It does the "learning reading speed" everytime I open a new book, i thought it automatically accommodates ti thw individual books
Is it possible to listen to the audio book while following along on the ebook? I can’t seem to make this option work. I have the newest version of the kindle paperwhite if that affects anything.
just got mine! thanks! though mine doesn't have the option to display the covers, weird
O meu Kindle é o 10. Não senti necessidade de trocar ainda, porque não vejo nos outros modelos funções que justifiquem uma troca. O meu está, por enquanto, permitindo-me ter uma boa leitura na praia, antes de dormir, etc. Vou ver seus vídeos para aprender mais. Muito obrigada 🌷🇧🇷
as I have a tendency to drop devices (particularly my phone >_< ) I bought a cover that automagically wakes my Kindle up when the cover is opened (though it's not working ATM even though it should still be charged, argh)
also, I made notes as some of these I didn't know (or was unsure where to find the options)
Hi, I got my kindle for Christmas too, and have found your videos so helpful. Just one question today, is good reads free or do you have t pay for this app/service?
thank you,
Free
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!
I saw the ask to remove ads tips too late, just paid to removed them yesterday
I would really like to know more about the alexa app so it can read my kindle books to me. I need a video on how to do this
I am very curious about the alexa app reading to me. I downloaded the app but can’t figure out how to connect it to my kindle.
i used to use wordwise, but it often defined very obvious words for me so i turned it off. the hold to define dictionary feature is good enough.
Help! I don't have the cover option when I go into "device options" I did just get the ads removed, do I have to wait a certain amount of time before the cover option will pop up?
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.
Ask her lol
I use libby as i cant afford other services. If i can find a kindle from a thrift shop is it possible to just use it for libby? Or would you suggest an android style tablet?
Hi! Thanks for the video! In trying to link my goodreads account on my Kindle Paperwhite 10th generation (software version 5.16.8) and I dont see any social networks option in my account to link my goodreads. Is there any reason why Im not seeing this option in my Kindle ?
I got ads removed but the Device Cover toggle isn't there for me. Any tips? or tricks?
I have a kids’ kindle and would love to use it for reading the New Yorker magazine and New York Times. Is that possible? Using the kindle for reading is so much nicer than using my iPhone or iPad!
You should be able to! If you can’t read those magazines with kindle, you should be able to disable kids mode and make your kindle a regular kindle.
I should’ve started here lol
My Kindle is older but is a Paperwhite. My friend recommended Hoopla but we don't think I can put it on my Kindle. Does my Kindle need to be newer or maybe a diffent type. I know mine was not very expensive
Well I love my kindle but i think they should add pg turn animations while the kindle is in dark mode
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.
That does not work to show my book when I open the kindle I only get the add ons maybe because I don't have the newer kindle
I read slowly so I want to keep library ebooks (via Libby to Kindle) on my iPad Kindle app for a month or longer. To do that I must keep the iPad offline. While it is offline there is no way to add new ebooks UNLESS they can be transferred via cable. If I put the device online the Kindle books will be removed when the library loan is over. I used to be able to download entire Kindle ebooks on active library loans from the Amazon website to a PC and then transfer from there to either the Kindle device or to the Kindle App on PC, Android or IOS devices. But Amazon eliminated the Kindle App as a destination; now it is possible to transfer a library ebook from Amazon via PC ONLY to a Kindle Device. So I want to know how I can transfer Kindle ebook files from Kindle device to the Kindle app on my iPad. Can iTunes serve as an intermediary?
I just tried to get Amazon chat to turn off my ads but they would only do it for a fee 😞 I'll try again next week. Thanks!
Tell them some of the ads were disturbing and you have kids who can see them
@@hotwasabi1085 I told them the ads were racy and embarrassing, didn't work with that rep 😞
I want to update my Kindle to Oasis. Should I buy 8 or 32 GB?
32 is probably a bit obsessive. 8gb will easily hold well over 1k books.
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
Haha! I love your shirt. Can I have it?😉
Me: “I bet I know all of these…”
You: “Tip number 1: you can use custom fonts”
Me: “Ok, maybe I don’t 🤯”
Don't open up your phone to look something up because you will spend 30 mins on your phone, instead open up the kindle web browser to spend 30 mins just loading it
I can no longer find the page turn option in settings.
What do I need to say to get ads removed? I tried and they just sent me to the paid removal.
I’ve noticed my paper white seems to be draining quickly these days and I’m not sure why. I wonder if it’s trying to stay connected to my WiFi.
Have you turned it completely off and back on recently? I've had my Paperwhite since 2019 and haven't had this issue. I usually have it in airplane mode to save extra battery, unless I'm actively downloading a book.
I dont see the page turn option on mine 😩
By like open a chat with an Amazon representative do you mean like call Amazon?
No you can chat with them, like texting so you don’t need to talk to someone on the phone
for some reason it doesn't let me connect my goodreads!! has anyone else had this problem?
It’s not a huge deal because I don’t really even look at the time on the top, but it never automatically changed when we here in California changed to standard time. Shouldn’t it have done that on its own?🤷🏼
It always seems like my kindle updates that time left feature while I am reading. Is this not actually happening? Lol
I think it is because if you check it when starting a new book it says “generating reading speed” and the time keeps changing during the first chapter or so until it figures it out
Where is your video about jailbreak? In this case of Kindle it's nothing about piracy, but features.
How can I download all my books permanently to my Kindle?
Mine says the page turn animation is not available 😭
Nevermind I got it 👏🏼
I miss having the ability to jump to a specific author within a collection. I have over 500 books in my sci-fi folder for example. Having to scroooolll through them all rather than just being able to jump to the author I want is a pain. :(
Please be advise kindle users
Kindle does not have a enable on it be aware kindle users
Sorry but did he say ‘adds free’? Wtf did I miss???? Adds on a fucking reader? On book you had fucking purchased? Someone explain before I reenact the flip-a-table meme
Kindle has ads on a reader when it’s inactive. Kind of like a Lock Screen. You won’t get ads while reading, only when it’s locked/inactive.
