I got this as my first Kindle, coming from Android. I'm really satisfied with the product. I can read more now using ambient light, and only need to use the built in light the dark. You can turn off full page refresh and it'll change pages a little faster , you might notice ghosting but it's very difficult to notice with only text, also this helps save battery. I like how you can read PDFs relatively easily on it too. Additionally the construction is very solid in the hands and not heavy, with a clean design because the screen sits at the same level as the frame.
How can you turn off full page refresh? I really need it to read Arabic script (I don't know why it's so slow to process Arabic script, maybe because it has many diacritics I think). But I couldn't find it in the settings...
@@garudapenjunjungkebenaran5871 is it not perfect for reading Arabic books?
I would suggest Replay by Ken Grimwood The novel tells of a 43-year-old man who dies and wakes up back in 1963 in his 18-year-old body. He then relives his life with all his memories intact of the previous 25 years. This happens repeatedly with the man playing out his life differently in each cycle.
Yanick Boyce this sounds like the First Fifteen lives of Harry august.
Yanick Boyce - Thank you for the recommendation. This book sounds interesting. It's definitely going on my queue.
That was random. I’ve read Replay many years ago and suggest it to everyone. Nobody has ever heard of it though and seeing someone say they’ve read it when I’m watching a review video was just, yeah, random. I only stumbled upon it because I enjoy time travel.
Sounds very interesting, I'm gonna buy it right now lol. Thank you!
Ok, but that's pretty interesting. Need to check this out.
I have the paperwhite 10th generation for a year now and I'm still watching these videos. What in my life went wrong?
U don't have boyfriend
Why, can you not figure it out? Keep trying I guess 🤷♀️
Nothing. !
may i ask how was it on pdf files?
You are not alone
I'm waiting for my delivery. Can't wait to see my paperwhite.
Same, how is it!
Lucky boi i cant even afford the cheapest even it was half the price
@@plutoniumisotope205 :C
how do you like it?
@@thanksforreading33
I got my paperwhite and it's awesome , can't believe it's already been 2 months..
I have this kindle! Love it! Got for April birthday last yr . Has increased reading 50 % due to backlite , able to change prints size and darkening . Really great for older eyes starting to fail . I also like being able to sort my books into files of genres.
Jason Pop Good day. May I ask what is the main reason buying books from amazon instead of just downloading them from separate websites and add them to your book library???
I ask this question cause I am gonna buy my first e-reader soon and apparently that is gonna be kindle paper white)) So that is my main question which I noticed is not being explained by youtubers.... thanks in advance
@@inv3st_eth839 hi I am waiting for my kindle please can u tell me how to download and add books to my kindle Library?
I used the kindle app on my daughters kindle fire for long time, but I really like my paper white e reader. It does books and that’s it, I like the simplicity.

@@inv3st_eth839 I use Amazon and Kindle Good Reads for my books. They seem to have the largest selection. If it.is in digital format, they have it. Also, I just like the Kindle paperwhite because it is just an E-Reader, but still connected to the internet. So I have access to books but also a dictionary and other resources for reading only. I find that it has less distractions.
hello just wondering how was your kindle on pdf files? thaks
I don't typically listen to audiobooks. But, I do use the "speed control" to speed up a lot of youtube videos. I didn't have to do that with yours.
Hey, I'm about to buy a brand new Kindle. And your video is really helping. Thank you for sharing! 🤗
80 and switched to digital in 2007: #1 source remains the public library for audio and e-books, anyone on the edge grab the low cost Kindle Fire for $50, it will pay for it's self no need for unlimited or book purchases, between the library and the large select of free books Amazon offers. I own dozens of e-readers and just added the Oasis, they will all meet your needs no matter which you chose.
buying a kindle actually has made me read more. got a paperwhite for xmas in 2016. best buy ever.
yes likewise!

@@inv3st_eth839 legality? supporting the authors? being a good person?
ulf gjerdingen yes ok but can you download the same books from other sites?
I am from Armenia, and like my English is not good at all, i want to read english books to educate myself
Gevorg Khachaturyan yes you can do it and almost ever book in Amazon for kindle you can find by free in the web, dont lisent to that guy...
Just got one today! Love it.
Would love a comparison review between the Paper White and the Oasis! 👍
This was my first eBook reader (and only, so far). I didn't want to spend a lot of money on it just to test. I was almost sure that 6 inches was going to be too small, but it actually works very well.
"I was almost sure that 6 inches was going to be too small, but it actually works very well." - As always, that's what she said.
Really would love to figure out how to sync my e-books and pdf documents on my kindle with the cloud so I can also see them on smartphone and in kindle for PC app
This video was really helpful. I have been thinking about replacing my current kindle (3rd gen with a keyboard)
Thanks for the preview. I got my father a kindle back in 2012 or 2013 and he pulled it out today and started using it again, I took a look over it and saw that it still connected and did all the things it did back then. I was considering getting him a newer one, but to be honest, the functionality of the older one seems pretty similar aside from the audible/bluetooth support, so I almost feel like after seeing it, the touch/swipe features feel a little off or sluggish or something, but that's the page 'ink' refresh. It is nice though to have something with tons of content to read without the distractions of your phone or tablet and much easier on the eyes with the 'ink' as it were. I'm kind of tempted now to find an older unit and getting that kindle unlimited for a month though and just reading tons of content.
I miss my 2015 version that I lost. I just purchased this one as a replacement but I don’t love it yet; the power button is in the exact spot I rest my pinky🥴
You told my mind broh
I bought my paperwhite last week and reread my favourites the Alchemist and Voyagers of hell. I thoroughly enjoyed reading.
I know when I’m sold. I’m getting this one :D
Hi just got kindle same as that, so good, now have learn in and outs
I have one of the older generation Paperwhite Kindles and I love it I have never read so much as I have with my Kindle.
Having default adverts unless you pay more is rather underhand and devious of Amazon and rather spoils the experience in my view.
Otherwise the device is very practical and fit for purpose.
Got my kindle paperwhite a month ago and love it.
Recommendation: The Three Body Problem trilogy, by Cixin Lui. Best sci fi I've read in the last decade.
I had a Paperwhite a few years ago. I liked the size, it fit easily in my purse. One day, I went to use it and it had a weird symbol on the screen and never would charge again. 🤷♀️
Connect the micro USB charger and try pressing the power button for 30 seconds
Hi I am an English learner I have started to read in order to improve my language after a while I realized that I already became a fan of reading and I ordered a book it is going to come tmorrow thanks kindle
I would love to see how the Audible works on it. I am so behind that I don't even know how to use bluetooth. Wow. I'm officially old.
Anyway, I got a gift card so I treated myself to one of these a couple of months ago. I don't swim/do beaches/read in tub, but I love the waterproof feature because I'm always out and about. I used to always have to put my various ereaders in a plastic bag when it would rain. Now I don't have to worry!
Yeah, it's not the fanciest. But it works well for me. I bought a Fintie snap on case to keep it safe. It's just the book-like cover foldover, not the kind where you put it all the way inside. I wanted that kind but I don't think anyone makes them. I tried for days, with no luck. I don't have kids and I'm pretty careful with my things, so this works fine for me.
"the kind where you put it all the way inside"
Did you mean, "slip case"?
My mom got me this for my birthday (because this is the only thing I wanted) and I can’t wait to use it! This was a helpful video and I will definitely go back to this video when it arrives. An audiobook that I’ve heard was good is Sadie by Courtney summers!
It's funny. I had NO intent of upgrading my Kindle 4 until one day my Kindle said (in an ad on the lock screen) that I was eligible for a trade in and upgrade. Since not having a backlight on the 4 I wanted a new one but it was not a need. I was given a trade in value, and a discount on a new Kindle. I was sold. I'm waiting for my Kindle 10 now and I cant wait!]
The supposed long battery life is described by Amazon as "1/2 hr a day for 6 weeks" which equals 21 hours. I'd call that a fairly short battery life, and I'm glad I know that before I receive mine and am disappointed about this, like so many people.
It's 21 continuous hours without charging. Do you read for that long without taking a break?
Assuming you even read for 16 hours a day straight, you'd charge it before going to bed right?
I’m waiting for my delivery , and I’m so excited to read in my kindle😭❤️
Hilal Dyaz me toooooo!!
saaammmeee!!!
So how do you like it?
Nicole Rowe yeah it’s amazing❤️❤️
I glad you did this video.. I just purchased one to upgrade. Thanks
For the current $100 price, I'm almost tempted to go back and buy a second one for my wife!
You got me so excited about playing audiobooks from my kindle 😅
I just got a Kindle. I wish you would have had it closer to the camera, so it would be easier to see.
Your video and presentation is genuinely good. Wishing you the best.
best..... hope one day i get one
The fact that the device is charged so infrequently only makes it more important for me that it would be usb-c compatible. If I use a cable once every few weeks I can guarantee you it will get lost at some point and then I will have no cable to charge it with because all my other devices are usb-c. Heck even Nintendo opted for usb-c.
I've never owned a Paperwhite so I cannot compare it to other models. But this is slow as heck and I agree with you, it is very involved and unbelievable in this day and age. I've been having trouble with this from start; Audibles not showing - finally showing but getting the "not in your library" message - bluetooth not connecting - and on top of that, poor customer service at both Audible and Amazon.
Was given to my son as gift on Dec 31 2019. October 31, 2020 it died. Sucks. And since it was bought by relatives in the US and we are in Asia, theres nothing that we could do...even though the warranty should have been good at that time. It's so slow and laggy. I cant even put pdfs in it because it would just freeze the device. I wish we got one of those BrandX made in China tablets instead. Because if those broke down, I wouldnt be surprised and it would have been value for the money.
I got a Paperwhite several months ago and am happy with it. I would say the biggest complaint I have is the location of the power button. Being on the bottom subjects it to bumping on things and turning on or off when I don't want it to.
Have you read any of Peter Clines' books? If not, I recommend 14 and The Fold. Awesome Sci fi books and the audiobooks are great!
I was just looking at 14 on Audible the other day!
@@JordanKeyes was it good
The leather cover greatly improves the reading experience.
In what way?
In what way?
In what freaking way?
@@keyboardwarrior.2741 Feels like a book cover and it adds grip so the device doesn't slip from your fingers.
@@Digital111
Buy a much cheaper one. From Pro elite, it has the same feel.
I have three nook first gen and the screen is good enough to read comics. This should be even better since it has twice the resolution
Awesome video! I think it's going to be awesome when you go to the beach or pool or even relaxing in the bathtub
Thanks ... I am trying to learn how to use kindle... it was helpful
The Kindle Paperwhite is a pretty convenient e-reader. Good that it has a mediatek chip
I really love my old Kindle, the one with the small buttons on the side for page forward and back. But I'll buy this model, my old one was lost.
Was thinking about purchasing one. I noticed a lot that you had to tap something several times. Seems slightly sluggish. What do you think? Was that bothering you?
Thanks for a nice review. I'm planning to get one very soon. Love it!
Just got mines today from my husband as one of my mothers day gifts. I really enjoyed your unboxing and review of it. Time to open mines. Great video. Thanks Again
How has it been so far? Looking to get one myself!
I laugher hard when he said you audio books are slow and you can quickly tell by the way I speak, and just seconds before I had set the playback to 1.25. 😄😂 Does that make me faster than him.
I wish kindle would make a mid range e reader or paperwhite WITH page turn buttons. The Oasis is sooooo expensive. I hate touch screen tapping for navigating an e reader. I have three old kindle keyboards that I read between. They were the best! The page turning buttons and the physical keyboard were so much easier to use. 😕
I love the Kindle 3
@@oddsandbods same. I did cave and buy an oasis after my kindle keyboard’s started going wonky after years of use. I still miss it. The oasis doesn’t feel right in my hands but I’m used to it now. 😊
Wtf are they doing putting social media on a kindle? Nice review/unboxing, thanks!
Thanks for such a comprehensive review! Just bought one myself :)
Does it feels like an actual book?
No
Thanks for this unboxing and review! I have been trying to decide which kindle I want, paperwhite 4 or oasis 2, and I think I made my choice!
Now I seriously wonder about the Oasis - costs a bit more, though.
Thank you for saying Library, not libary! Great review, well done. 🙂
Very helpful , I will try to change my Kindle for the Paper White Kindle , Thank very much ...
I'm having a good experience with my kindle.
very good!
I wonder if they could make it faster but they're holding back the technology just to charge more every year by increasing the speed and display resolution minimally
Well, truth is that making it faster and giving it a prettier UI will make the battery last way less than what it lasts now, so to increase autonomy they will give it a bigger (and heavier) battery to compensate, making the device bigger and heavier and losing the essence of it: small and easy to carry, light-weighted, long-lasting battery. Makes sense?
how is it for reading engineering books? with technical flowcharts and diagrams. can we add sticky notes to it or highlight to review something later
Thanks so much for this review! Ive been thinking which kindle to get and this helped so much💛☺
Kindle Paperwhite and the latest kindle are almost identical the difference is Paperwhite 4 has a flush screen 300 ppi and is waterproof also has a darkmode . My gf loves the original kindle 10 gen with backlight theres very little difference you cant go wrong with either
Another reccomendation would be a audiobook called Make Time By Jake Knapp
I just thrifted one of these. I am not the biggest reader but i want to get into it more. Plus as i love Audible i hope for the Kindle unlimited to be good to.
This looks like the best Kindle yet.
True
I like mine. good choice if you want a kindle to take out of the house and leave the Oasis at home. BUT you need to wait till your library is 100% indexed by the device before trying audible or it was freeze and skip.
Is it really anti glare? Like outside or in bright locations? I’ve heard it’s okay when it comes to blocking light
Yes! I took mine outside to test this and it's kind of trippy because it's like looking at real paper
Yup, it's not a conventional digital screen, it's an E-INK screen. That's right, ink. That's how realistic it is.
Hi Jordan! Just following up to see how you like it?
10:21
lol, I'm actually watching this at x1.25
I'd suggest any book from haruki murakami. I like norwegian wood and Sputnik sweetheart.
huge fan of Murakami here. Wind up bird chronicle and Kafka on the shore are among my favourites.
@@pyaephyo3554 yes, i bought wind up bird chronicle but still have not started it yet, i will start it very shortly : D
Cool thanks I just bought one for my sister for xmas
UA-cam: Wanna see a random product review from a year ago?
Me: Sure, why not?
even though that I'm getting my kindle oais instead of kindle paperwhite but I lovvvvve this video.
Came here to check if colors really get inverted after tap (transition). Coz i thought it was lagging. First time kindle owner :)
The noise shots are worth the money, the sound and call quality is good. I have the regular black version but I got bored of looking at it every day. So, to give it a unique look I ordered a red sandstone skin from gadgetshieldz.
dont like touch screens on kindle, i have the 4th gen with the buttons on the side and would love to have the exact design, just with the back light.
Would have been nice if he cleared up what can be done offline and what has to be connected to work. Are audiobooks downloaded so one can listen where there is no wifi or cell connection?
I see in this video page refresh is also on from the startup - how does one turn that off ? Is it even possible ? Cause in the settings it is set off
Just got this as a gift few days back! Waterproof btw is only for fresh water, salt water is not Waterproof for the device. Also I wish it accepted audio files from audiobooks and not just from Audible, only thing I don't like about it
Does it support ms office word? Never had one but I want to buy one and use it as a word processor cause it s much lighter than a laptop and with way more battery durability.If you can enlighten me I d be gratefull!
@@geompon6505 you can send Microsoft doc files onto the Kindle to read. However that is it. There is no editing option, so read only not write
@@StrangerrDanger oh that s a pitty. It s really hard to find an alternative, the only thing is Pomera device but it s expensive. Thanks for your reply!
@@geompon6505 no but you can hook up your betamax recorder
Reading physical book sucks. I have to run for a dictionary for every word.
Me whenever i read any english book. Thats why i prefer e-book for english so that i dont need to run for a dictionary 😂
Haha that's the number one reason why I got an e reader.
The other day I put a batch of clothes in the washing machine only to discover when it was finished that my Kindle was among the clothes.
OMG I thought that's it my Kindle is dead. I let it dry a bit near a heater and tried to start it again. Something appeared on the screen but it wouldn't move. I decided to call Amazon to ask if when you buy a new Kindle you have to download all your books manually / one by one. While talking on the phone, I pressed again the start button and suddenly it did start again, and all my books were there ! I was amazed...
Note that I don't have the 2018 model. I bought my Kindle in 2012 I think.
I accidentally put my Pokémon Yellow into the laundry as a child. Survived.
Audio book recommendation: Seveneves
Agreed. It's long because it's hard science fiction, but it's really worth reading.
Whatever happened to text to speech?
My older paperwhite battery lasts weeks. I read about a half hour or more a night
but if you use audiobook, the battery last less
, I have had a Paperwhite for the last 4 years. I was wondering if I should upgrade but after looking at this video is really nothing new for me that's worth jumping and spending a bunch more money. The only thing I could see value in is Bluetooth because then I could Bluetooth in a tiny little Clicker to advance the pages instead of touching.
how does it work , when you want to read a book you must buy it first or you can just download it for free ?
The black and white flash every time you turn pages is bothering me. Does that turn off? I feel like it would ruin the immersion for me. Also the slight delay in page turn would get to me :\
This is how e-ink technology works and there is no way to turn it off.
I thought so too, but when I got a Kindle myself, I came to realize that it really isn't that annoying, like, you wouldn't notice it
really?
You can adjust the settings so it only does a full refresh (black page) every ten pages or so.
Hello. Are we able to read and listen to a book at the same time like we do in kindle app? It would be great to improve my English. Thanks.
0:36 Yeah, because it's much easier for me to have the front light built-in rather than doing the thing with the torchlight and book under a blanket.
1:16 From what I remember, the PDF experience on the original Paperwhite (which was what I had, before selling it off due to low use) was appaling*, mainly with my college textbooks, yeah, those really slowed the thing down. I'm sure the processor in the new one would probably be throttled enough most of the time to where it's enough for reading Kindle/Audible content, then ramp up when reading PDFs or browsing Web sites.
*Darn it Gboard, that's a real word!
2:56 In my opinion, the reason why I chose the ad-free version, was mainly because Amazon Australia didn't have Kindle Special Offers at the time, but also because Amazon has a nice set of writing-related screensavers (which they also had as lock screen backgrounds on some of their Fire devices), and you don't need to swipe after pressing the power button like on the ad-supported versions.
Too bad Amazon doesn't provide an official way to get custom screensavers, and I eventually switched to a Likebook device, which not only doesn't have a fully compliant implementation of USB-C, but its screensaver functionality only allows for one screensaver at a time, and doesn't rotate through images like on Kindle and Nook devices.
3:01 "…but I've never had any problems" except the fact that you have to swipe after pressing the power button, instead of just pressing it. I'm assuming it has been written into your muscle memory at one point in time, though.
5:25 The older Kindle 5.x firmware had a more involved tutorial, but I have no idea why they decided to dump that and go with something less involved, instead of just providing an option to skip it altogether.
8:58 Meanwhile, the original Paperwhite only had 2 or 4 GB, somewhere around there, and the Likebook Mimas (which is the current e-reader I use) has only 16 GB of storage, but has a memory card slot, and they were nice enough to leave in the Android "format memory card as internal storage" feature. Yes, it runs a heavily modified version of Android.
Yeah
Oh, do you speak quickly? I've set you to 1.8x and found it very comfortable listening. :)
Thanks for sharing your experience and perspective. Very helpful!
I'm sooo confused. Mine is literally a white version of yours but something tells me its not a paperwhite. I keep searching and it doesnt say that the 10th gen has a white versionn. Does itt?? I bought a second hand and don't see the box that you have. It doesn't say its a paperwhite on the device info too
Thanks for the overview - thinking of buying. Also - new bobiverse book (#4) is out! The singularity trap was great!
I preordered the #4 book, so as soon as it came out, I got an email and it showed up in my Audible, but unfortunately I haven't had time to listen to it yet!
I have an iPad mini 5 that I’ve been using as my kindle reader...I purchased a matte screen cover and I lowered the back light down under half brightness. I’m wondering how much different the Paperwhite is compared to that setup...and if it’s worse how much. I don’t want to waste the extra cash on something that isn’t gonna be a huge difference.
It's lights are at the front of the display at the sides, so it's front lit.
They are 5 sconced lights at the bottom. The light is very well distributed and you can know they're there only when seeing from above
Really helpful, thanks. Why do the pages flash black when you tap them and does this annoy you?
I received this as a gift a week ago.. I works quite slow, I though mine had some kind of a problem, but now I see yours is slow too:)) is this normal?
E-Ink screens are supposed to work that slowly, it takes a moment for them to refresh each time
I have a paperwhite 2 and this seems to be a really worthy upgrade for me. I enjoy what I already have but...
Nice vid.
I have a PW1 and have just upgraded to the PW5, Kindle 11 whuch is bigger, faster, clearer and more capacity
Awaiting upgraded, better Paperwhite with USB-C later this year.
They really need subtitles for the audiobooks since there's no speaker.
I c what u did thar
I know this is a joke, but that’s something my autistic son would do. He puts subtitles on everything.
It is better the kobo ebooks because they don’t turn the page in black every time you turn the page.
Don't really understand why they put the audio book function into it. You can always listen to some audio books on your smartphone with bluetooth or plugin earbuds. what we need from kindle is ink screen.
thank you for making this video :) I really appreciate the thorough review
I'm waiting for mine thats supposed to come any time soon. My brother ordered it for me for my 18th birthday. Quarantine so...I kinda need this. Any recommendations for teen drama books or teen romance. I love something overly dramatic!
