I have watched many videos on the things you can do with your Kindle, but they all seemed to repeat the same tricks over and over. This tutorial is different - perfectly explained, really useful tips and it was actually a pleasure to listen how you speak, you chose your words in such a way that the sentence remains clear but it's also coherent. Thank you for the video :)
I was worried about replacing my high-end older oasis with this one ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxCgPI5O2AtmcHq9SJhgsCGbpAzJAJfrJp but it is surprisingly light and the screen resolution is just as good. I never had the warm light on my old kindle, but i do not use it on the ipad so I will probably not need it. I think the only thing I'll miss is the self-adjusting light, but this is so worth it!
I have had Amazon e-readers (The very first Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite, Oasis1, Oasis2) for years. Your tutorial is the absolute best I have come across. Simply superb! Thank you for taking the time to do this presentation.
0:57 -- The Paperwhite DOES NOT have to be connected to the internet in order to get the definition of a word and save it in Vocabulary Builder. The default lookup occurs in the Oxford English Dictionary that comes installed on the Kindle. Every once in a while you might encounter a word that gets past the OED and then, if you're not online, you will be prompted to turn off airplane mode so that the definition can be found online in Wikipedia, Merriam Webster, or another online dictionary.
*So far so good **Newest.Technology** . I got it to use for watching my shows and love it. It is a great size. I can slip it in my purse when needed. Great value as well. Plan to buy ones for my kids as well.*
I have had a kindle for many years, and my paperwhite for about 18 months. I love it. I know there were features I wasn't using, but no idea of how many and how easy they were to access. I am saving this one. Thank you very much. This was a real useful video. I'm going to be sharing it.
Grandpa Can Cook I'm a little worried because I don't want them to try and charge me. I have to keep checking my account because nothing actually said that it would be included. It's just weird.
Jeff, go to you amazon.com . Click on arrow by accounts and list. Click Your Kindle Unlimited. If you don't have it , it will say: Important Message You currently do not have Kindle Unlimited. Click here to join. If it says that I am pretty sure that you don't have it. There is Kindle borrowing where You can still borrow and lend some books between friends but that is a separate thing than Kindle unlimited.
Just got my first kindle yesterday this Model I’ve never really read after school and that was 18 years ago now I’m reading my first book on kindle as an adult
When I was a kid I loved to read. I used to spend lots of hours in local libraries searching for interesting books. I was a real "bookworm" then. There was no internet though. These days I just can't make myself reading books. I just can't.
Pick something, start reading a page. If you feel like you want to continue, keep going. Put down when you want a break but try and say to yourself "after I finish this chapter" or after this paragraph. You will have the urge to keep going if you practice enough.
I was the same as you. Used to read a lot in my youth, in my teenage years I abruptly stopped. I have a child now, and really want him to read. Started with a hard cover, but found it actually bothersome compared to how I remember. Decided to get a Paperwhite, and I went from 9pm to 4am reading Fellowship of the Ring. Literally got lost in time. Paperwhite made it far more enjoyable and far easier on my eyes, with added benefit of me not needing a dictionary next to me to learn words I didn’t already know or could decipher from context alone. Seriously, I got mine on sale for 80$ but after having purchased I will gladly purchase at full price once my child is ready. A much better option than a conventional tablet for reading. No distractions, and only bells and whistles that compliment the device and it’s purpose. I enjoy the Paperwhite to the point where I’m actually considering on spending the 250-350 on a Kindle Oasis
My advice to anyone who is struggling whether to buy the ad version or ad-free version. Buy the ad version, it is about 25usd cheaper. Then visit kindle's customer service, and ask politely if thry could remove the ad for you. (Maybe say that it is too distracting) And they will remove it for you. I tried it and it works. No point wasting money for the ad-free ver. since it is super easy.
I bought kindle yesterday and I regretted it till I didn't watch your video. After watching your video I am happy that I have made a right choice. Thank you very much for the great video.
I've had the Paperwhite for 4 months now, and you just taught me more than the instructions that came with it! I had no idea it could do all this! Thanks :)
Thank you for a job well done. I learned some features I did not know. I avowed many times that I could not see a reason for an e-reader. Then I tried one. Now my wife and I have our own devices and we have hundreds of books on them. The only time I prefer a printed on paper book now is when it is a topic that uses and needs charts, maps, or diagrams. Oh, the other utility I like is the option that allows you to buy a cheap Kindle version of a book you bought in print. Very useful when you are waiting on line or in someone's office.
When people try to disparage me for using an e-reader (my current preferred is a Fire 7), I tell them that it lets me carry the book I'm reading now and the next one as well. Very good video, I have a paperwhite also that I keep as a bedside volume and I didn't know about the pinch method of changing font size, thanks.
really like how you explained the significance of each function and instances where they may be useful to a reader and not just list the functions, really appreciate it! thank you :)
So that's what "x-ray" is for and why the bottom notifications seem to appear and disappear!!! I love my Kindle. I've read books for over 60 years and never thought this would replace a good old fashioned book. Now that I simply don't have the room for them all I can simply buy the good ones in Kindle form and take them all with me.
I have used ebook readers for the last 7 years, 3 of them a Kindle. I didn’t think you could surprise me, but I’ve learned about 2 new features! Thank you so much for this informative video!
This is so helpful and will give me so much more from my Kindle Paperwhite. The only thing that really frustrates me about the Kindle Paperwhite is that when you open the Kindle to read and swipe to start reading, it opens the book at your bookmark. I want to open the book at the front cover/tile page so that I can see the name and cover of the book that I am reading. It helps me to remember the books I have read.
This was a super helpful video! Every other video about the Kindle seems to only talk about the basics, not the actual features like these. They should really advertise these features more, this is what makes me want a Kindle rather than a different e-reader.
Well yeah it's working fine, I had dropped it on several occassion and spill water unintentionally but nothing affected it. Further, its always better to go for a cover to protect it or (an insurance which might cost you another 1200 for everything) There aren't any amazon service center yet so what usually happens is if your device is found faulty: With warranty- you get a new like refurbished product (they will claim its new but it isn't) Without warranty- you get a 10-30% discount on next purchase of any kindle) I used Amazon as I got a 600rs discount using Amazon pay later. In brief, the quality it brings to your reading experience is worth all the hustle!
A very informative video. It helped me learn various function capabilities of my new Kindle Paperwhite in a short space of time, clearly and concisely.
Another cool tip is *GET A LIBRARY CARD* that way you can get books for free. The tip with that is to turn off the Wi-Fi if you haven't finished reading it so it doesn't automatically get returned to the library.
@@Catkovi lmao dara you thought the person above was actually asking us to pick up a real book didn't you? what the person actually meant was to loan EBOOKS from VIRTUAL libraries and then turning off the goddamn wifi so the ereader doesn't realize the time limit is up and the book remains in your kindles library
That comment is very unnecessary, this is way beyond normal books you don't have to carry all the shit you need in a bag: however with this little device you can carry all the books you want and also download free books in the net.....
I've seen quite a few "x things to do on your Kindle" on UA-cam and you show all the features just right. You could have shown Wikipedia section as well. I absolutely love my Oasis 2 and showing the page number from location was probably the best thing I discovered.
Yash Keni came here to tell this. You don’t need internet connection for dictionary. You can add other dictionaries as well (Turkish-English for example.)
Awesome man! I ordered myself a all-new kindle yesterday and your video kinda gave me an idea of what to expect in terms of functionality. Now I don't have to figure myself out. Thanks for the video. :)
good video. also long press on a word or name, then magnifying glass, and search within the book or within the Kindle. like if you forget who or where a character was introduced, or significance of a place or anything.
Really helpful tips. Never thought I will know anything new after so much time while using my Kindle. Thank you for your time and straightforward explanations.
Thanks you so much in explaining this in simple terms and for making it comprehensible for even me! I have watched a few tutorials but they all go so fast and make it sound so complicated (think they were all American!)and I have been reduced to tears of frustration!
Wow, Thank you so very much. I have had my Paperwhite for almost a year and did not know 1/2 of these very useful things. You are a wonderful teacher. Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, Lynn
Had my paperwhite a number of years but so many features I was unaware of. Thank you. I do not have the goodreads tab in my toolbar though so need to google that and see if it’s something you have to add.
Thank u for this video. I wanted to send the paper white back but kept it. It's just been sitting around as a paper weight. I've since gotten into audibles but there are times when one of the books aren't available in audible for whatever reason. So I started using the Kindle and I couldn't for the life of me find how to change the orientation to landscape until now. Great video. Learned a lot more about this device.
@@deanclark838 is it comfortable to hold for long periods of time? And also, is it easy on the eyes while reading in the dark? Sorry, for inundating with you questions. Lol
Great video. I wasn't aware of the Flashcard or x-ray options. The x-ray feature will come in handy when reading novels and trying to remember characters.
Vocabulary Builder on works for Kindle proprietary format that is AZW I believe. You have to convert your pdf to AZW in order to use Vocabulary builder feature.
The word meaning search is a great feature. I've wanted to look up words I don't know when I'm reading through chapters of Harry Potter, but I forget to look back.
Good video on how to use a kindle. This information should be supplied with it when you buy it. It seems bazaar that Amazon does not tell you about it's features I got no instructions at all so had to work it out but I have now discovered more things it can do which were hidden from me.
My kindle paperwhite is kept on airplane mode and the dictionary still works. You just have to download it in the language you want, so you don't have to keep the wi-fi on. To locations or things that most probably won't be in the dictionary, you can have your wi-fi on to look for it on Wikipedia. :)
You can go on the experimental browser on a Kindle Paperwhite. On the home screen, in the top right corner, there are three dots. Tap that button, and then press Experimental Browser. You can go on google, blah blah. If you wanna read more things, use the experimental browser to go on a website called Wattpad, and you can read many different books there (for free!) They are by different people, so some may not have perfect vocab and grammar, but it's better than nothing. This may be unavailable for some people, I think if you have child protection or something it won't let you do this function.
Wonderful tutorial. Perfect! Thank you! I liked and subscribed. I hope to find a tutorial on the iPhone X, so I can finally learn how to use this thing. 🙂 Keep up the good work.
A quick way to change the font size is to *PINCH THE SCREEN* TO zoom in or out and that quickly changes the font size. I use my thumb and pointer finger. 07:09
Amazon is almost (not quite, yet) building too many features into these devices. Am I alone is wishing they would instead build more battery life into them instead? In fact, I'd put up with a thicker reader to get more battery life.
The battery life isn't that bad. Just charge it for 15-20 mins every 1-2 weeks and you should not run out. You can also carry a small portable battery charger.
A great video, thank you! What bums me out is that some of these features I can't use, for instance "Page in book" is not available, the feature is greyed out, and Xray I don't even have. Suppose it's an older version then, it says 5.12.2. And also sometimes it says "1 min left in chapter" the whole time, it doesn't change.
When I was a child there was only a few books at home my English teacher was lazy just told us too open a book and read I wanted to know so much now as adult i can't stop reading I love my kindle I would not have room for all my books without it
I have the previous (first) version of Kindle Paperwhite and it doesn't have the X-Ray option, however it has -I think- everything else you mentioned here. Anyways, I really like my Kindle and got it really cheap, so maybe someday when this one gets too old I'll invest in one of the newest ones, cause I know it'll be worth it.
I have watched many videos on the things you can do with your Kindle, but they all seemed to repeat the same tricks over and over. This tutorial is different - perfectly explained, really useful tips and it was actually a pleasure to listen how you speak, you chose your words in such a way that the sentence remains clear but it's also coherent. Thank you for the video :)

It didn't originally but I'm going to check see if I can do it now. It would be great. Thanks for the heads up.

No Names me too and that really bums me out. I googled about it. A lot of people seems to face the same problem nowadays.
You just need to find something that really interests you a lot.
Pick something, start reading a page. If you feel like you want to continue, keep going. Put down when you want a break but try and say to yourself "after I finish this chapter" or after this paragraph. You will have the urge to keep going if you practice enough.
Same dilemma. Yknow. You just gotta read. Form it a habit
I was the same as you. Used to read a lot in my youth, in my teenage years I abruptly stopped.

Just ordered my kindle this lockdown, nice tutorial to get a headstart and really informative. Just a suggestion put navigation in the video as well.
Is it working fine? What if it breaks? Is there any Amazon service center in India? What seller did you use?
Well yeah it's working fine, I had dropped it on several occassion and spill water unintentionally but nothing affected it.
Further, its always better to go for a cover to protect it or (an insurance which might cost you another 1200 for everything)
There aren't any amazon service center yet so what usually happens is if your device is found faulty:
With warranty- you get a new like refurbished product (they will claim its new but it isn't) Without warranty- you get a 10-30% discount on next purchase of any kindle)
I used Amazon as I got a 600rs discount using Amazon pay later.
In brief, the quality it brings to your reading experience is worth all the hustle!
Vatsal Gaur yes there r amazon service centre available in each city.

Had this for almost a year and didnt realize there are some seriously cool features there! Thanks for the video 🥰
As a former Kindle owner, I’m intrigued. X-Ray is by far the most intriguing feature....but I can still use the feature on Kindle for the iPad.
Another cool tip is *GET A LIBRARY CARD* that way you can get books for free. The tip with that is to turn off the Wi-Fi if you haven't finished reading it so it doesn't automatically get returned to the library.
Yeah, sure. And try taking them to your already fully filled bag and reading them in the dark. Girl, please... Not always a real book is better.

Dictionaries work offline. There are also additional dictionaries you can download for other languages, etc.
You can also export the vocabulary cards to your computer to put in Anki or another Flashcard program.
Great video. I wasn't aware of the Flashcard or x-ray options. The x-ray feature will come in handy when reading novels and trying to remember characters.

The word meaning search is a great feature. I've wanted to look up words I don't know when I'm reading through chapters of Harry Potter, but I forget to look back.
That the best review for a kindle
Thank you :)
Good video on how to use a kindle. This information should be supplied with it when you buy it. It seems bazaar that Amazon does not tell you about it's features I got no instructions at all so had to work it out but I have now discovered more things it can do which were hidden from me.
My kindle paperwhite is kept on airplane mode and the dictionary still works. You just have to download it in the language you want, so you don't have to keep the wi-fi on. To locations or things that most probably won't be in the dictionary, you can have your wi-fi on to look for it on Wikipedia. :)
You can go on the experimental browser on a Kindle Paperwhite. On the home screen, in the top right corner, there are three dots. Tap that button, and then press Experimental Browser. You can go on google, blah blah. If you wanna read more things, use the experimental browser to go on a website called Wattpad, and you can read many different books there (for free!) They are by different people, so some may not have perfect vocab and grammar, but it's better than nothing. This may be unavailable for some people, I think if you have child protection or something it won't let you do this function.
Heyy, screenshot option is seriously cool. I didn't knew about it. Thank
One of the most important feature is browsing websites, checking mails etc. It has browser too

Simple but useful tips. Well organised and demoed. Thanks for such a good tutorial
He said "the baker and finish the smoke" Lol xD
Wonderful tutorial. Perfect! Thank you!
I liked and subscribed. I hope to find a tutorial on the iPhone X, so I can finally learn how to use this thing. 🙂
Keep up the good work.
A quick way to change the font size is to *PINCH THE SCREEN* TO zoom in or out and that quickly changes the font size. I use my thumb and pointer finger. 07:09
Amazon is almost (not quite, yet) building too many features into these devices. Am I alone is wishing they would instead build more battery life into them instead? In fact, I'd put up with a thicker reader to get more battery life.
The battery life isn't that bad. Just charge it for 15-20 mins every 1-2 weeks and you should not run out. You can also carry a small portable battery charger.
A great video, thank you! What bums me out is that some of these features I can't use, for instance "Page in book" is not available, the feature is greyed out, and Xray I don't even have. Suppose it's an older version then, it says 5.12.2. And also sometimes it says "1 min left in chapter" the whole time, it doesn't change.
When I was a child there was only a few books at home my English teacher was lazy just told us too open a book and read I wanted to know so much now as adult i can't stop reading I love my kindle I would not have room for all my books without it
This video was so helpful now I know how to use my kindle......... thank you we're taking time out of your busy schedule to make this video
You are welcome! 😊👍🏻
Very informative and helpful video, thanks.
The kindly app is what i really love on my ipad. The only flip side that i feel is there in kindle is that the book art appears black and white
I want it coz I had filled up my cubbord with so many books,I must buy it 😂😂😂
You can even set a passcode on Kindle and have the text tilted sideways and even switch to a dark mode
Amazon is taking the steps to stay on top of the ebook industry.
Great!! This video is very helpful. I used Kindle Paperwhite for a long time, but there are some features I haven't known. Thank so much.
😊👍🏻
I have the previous (first) version of Kindle Paperwhite and it doesn't have the X-Ray option, however it has -I think- everything else you mentioned here. Anyways, I really like my Kindle and got it really cheap, so maybe someday when this one gets too old I'll invest in one of the newest ones, cause I know it'll be worth it.
You missed to add voice view screen reader feature,it is a very useful feature.
Thank you! That was very helpful!
Really helpful video...each and every feature described very well..thanks 😊
Good info! I knew some of the tips but learned new things. I especially liked how you get back to your place if you jump ahead. Thanks
Very helpful and useful video - thank you.
