Thanks for an informative video. Currently I have a Kindle Scribe and the Matcha Basic. I love both. If your hands get tired and you don’t require the warm light, I highly recommend the new Basic with a soft clear cover (in case you want to use a decorative insert or stickers) and a MagSafe PopSocket. It is so easy to hold with one hand and you need barely move your thumb to advance the page.
I bought the 12th Gen Signature Edition Paperwhite. What I didn't do is my homework - in Canada Audiobooks (Audible) downloads are not supported and bluetooth is turned off for this function. In my opinion that is not clearly articulated by Amazon. Amazon Canada is uncommitted when asked about Audible becoming available on Kindle devices. I find this very disappointing as I live about 40 minutes from the US border. Also not available in Canada is the ColorSoft and again Amazon Canada will not commit to it coming to Canada anytime soon. I do have a Kobo Libra Color which has none of these restrictions. Amazon dominates the digital book market but I find Kobo is doing a good job keeping up. Another feature of the Kobo is you can access the local public Library's digital book and audio book collection which can't be done with the Kindle. The Kindle e Ink implementation is better than the Kobo in my humble opinion but not enough to be a deal breaker. The point being is there are regional differences with the Kindle readers so beware and see what they are in your region.
@@michaelsmelt5218 How could I possibly answer that - it is still 2024. I have both sitting beside me and there isn't a significant difference in build quality. Ask me in five year for a more definitive answer. OR were you being obtuse?
