    He’s actually wearing an Apple Watch. The opposite of analog.

    I can read it in a house.
    I can read it with a mouse.
    I can read it here or there.
    I can read it anywhere!

      Best response ever! 🤣😜👍
      Actually made me wake my wife up by laughing. She's not impressed, but I certainly was! 😁

    Bearded with a flashy watch, you’re just describing Criminolly at the start.

    I know this is an older post, but I love it. When I went to seminary (in my forties), I very quickly abandoned print books for ebook/epub versions of texts. Searchable colored highlighting, searchable notes, searchable text, it was sooooo much better. One text I read early on, Diarmaid McCullogh’s “The First Three Thousand Years,” was such a beast (really fun to read but wandering everywhere without using turn signals) I bought the Kindle and the audiobook and used them at the same time to keep up. After four years at school I found that virtually everyone had done the same thing.

    Kudos to the Brotubers who can make a living by tricking people into watching videos that amount to reading out the product features.

    I love my Kindle, but it's even better as an app on my Boox tab ultra colour. I agree the bookmarking is brilliant. I have a cover on my Oasis, and my Paperwhite because I'm a clumsy cow. I even have a Kindle DX with an original cover. It's the toughest Kindle ever. I have to sideload it now, but it still works and has a new battery, which is easy to replace. I would buy a Scribe , if it was an updated DX, but it isn't. I'm curious to know if my tech guru, SD himself, has one. Nice to see a well bred dog that doesn't yap. I'd like to see her telling other dogs off sometime.

    My power button does not turn the device off with the weight of the device, I’ve tried! I made a video two days ago about my kindle with a demonstration of the stiffness of the power button at least of my kindle!
    I forgot to mention the battery, it’s lasted me three books so far without charging!

    The power button on the Basic model feels more robust than the one on the PW.

    • @saintdonoghue
      @saintdonoghue  7 місяців тому

      I noticed that difference too! Is it possible it's not that the button is more robust but that the device itself is lighter?

    • @nathanfoung2347
      @nathanfoung2347 7 місяців тому

      @saintdonoghue I hadn't thought about that, but I haven't accidentally switched off the basic model as I have with the PW. The basic model has become my go to now base on this fact alone.

    The slow irritating delay when highlighting words or searching has sent me back to reading good old paperbacks. The e-ink tech is simply too sluggish..

    Who are these flabbergasting Cicero-type figures who do their videos in one take? They must be really big and clever!

      Hah! Personally, I don't think they exist - I mean, who could talk for 20 minutes without edits and jump-cuts?
