    Nice video. I just bought a 2019 Kindle Basic from Unclaimed Baggage for $40. It works great. I use an iPad at home for reading, but I bought the Kindle so I could read at work and while traveling. Honestly, I didn’t feel a need to get any of the other fancy models for what I’m using it for.

    Just received my new kindle 2024 in matcha color. I wanna start reading again so I’m excited. When I was younger I was a bookworm

    Very honest and exact review for potential buyers. I love your style. Yes, I too was considering paperwhite earlier but my choice and viewpoints are similar to yours. So, I will not upgrade to any costly versions of Kindle anytime soon

    You made a very informed decision. Glad you live the Basic.

    I have found so many books on Kindle that I have enjoyed that I wouldn’t have heard of otherwise.

    Tbh if you need warm light just get some $10 blue light glasses and it does the same thing

      Doesn’t seem very logical considering that warm light is often used at night lying in bed. You can’t really wear glasses when lying in bed, unless you lay on your back or sit upright.
      it just seems quite inconvenient. Better off switching it to darkmodeb

    The main difference between paperwhite and basic is the screen size, paperwhite is 6.8" and basic is 6". Might not sound like a lot but the difference is crazy :D.

      It definitely is a big difference. My sister has the paperwhite, so I know I made the right choice.

      it’s the difference between barely pocketable and totally not pocketable.

    • @alonzo9772

      Pair the Kindle to a bluetooth audio device then choose Voiceview Screen Reader on in the accessibility tab. It then starts reading the book with an AI voice.

    i used to read all the time when i was little. then i somehow stopped reading for 15 years. then i bought an ereader (tolino page 2, it’s a german thing) about 3 years ago and i read so many books again ❤ i rarely buy ebooks, i get them from our library, the membership is per year what kindle unlimited is per month 😂 and for academic reading or nonfiction i want to really annotate a lot and really work through it use my ipad. a small reader can’t really handle that task but it’s not meant to be that.

    Enjoyed your video! I have an older gen paperwhite and really enjoy it. There used to be a lot of difference in quality between basic and paperwhite but thats no longer the case. When I upgrade I'll probably go with the basic.
