    Tip for library books. If you turn off wifi after you download the book from the library it'll stay on your Kindle until you turn wifi back on.

    • @Baileyroberson
      @Baileyroberson  Рік тому +14

      What that’s amazing!! Thank you for the tip! I noticed sometimes they’d stay for longer but didn’t realize it was wifi!

    • @jeremyleemcdonald
      @jeremyleemcdonald Рік тому +9

      Yep, they send the signal to take it away, and the book becomes available for others to borrow, but until wifi is turned back on it hangs around on the Kindle giving extra time if you need it. Don’t turn that wifi on because they’ll take it away pretty quickly lol!

      @@robertb67 nope. The “book” is able to be loaned out to the next borrower as normal. As far as they know it was removed from your device - and it is as soon as connection is restored.

    • @jeremyleemcdonald
      @jeremyleemcdonald Рік тому +17

      If it’s a really popular book, and you’re feeling particularly generous, you could download the book, kill your wifi, then login to your account on a computer to return it early for the next reader.

    Nice video! I just bought a refurbished Kindle Paperwhite that was supposed to have no ads. Well, it did. After reading reviews I called Amazon support and supposedly the ads were removed. I checked Amazon and it does show that. However, the ads still show up and I have to swipe to get to my books. I went through several times of restarting my Kindle, while the rep was on my phone, and they still showed. I had to go to work, so he said he will call me tomorrow. I just think Amazon should turn the ads off in such cases before the customer even uses their product. It's just a click on a setting.
    Anyway, I learned a few things from your video and will be trying them, so thank you for doing this! I did set mine to dark mode (I'm a night owl) and even in daylight it feels better for my eyes. My previous Kindle is a gen 3, so I have new things to explore!

    Hi,
    Some very good information, but I could not tolerate you're sing song manner of speaking, any longer so I had to cut your video short. It began to grate on me.
    Let me share with you something very important when it comes to public speaking. I learned this probably in the first week of speech class at DePaul University in Chicago, or it could have been at the Dale Carnegie course in the Palmer House in Chicago. It was the public speaking course by Dale Carnegie.
    This was 1967 and I still remembered plain as day now.
    " Never let the manner, distract from the matter. "
    That is a rock solid bit of advice for all of us that finds ourself speaking to others.
    Good luck !
    T.hanks for the tips

      That’s pretty rude. She’s not in a public speaking class. She’s making a helpful video to teach people tricks about their kindle. Take your mansplaining somewhere else. If you don’t like the way she speaks, don’t watch.
