I love my paperwhite. I think it's the best option for a kindle. It really works out well because you can change font and make the print bigger. There is nothing like a real book but hard to store, so the kindle helps. Happy reading 📚 😊

My favorite kindle feature is the time left in the chapter. When I read physical books, I'm always flipping ahead to see how many pages I have left and wondering if I'll have time to finish the current chapter or finish the next one. My kindle keeps me from getting distracted in that way and it's such a game changer. And books are way less overwhelming when I can't physically see how big the book is. The warm light is also fantastic!

Mine too!!!

Reading on your Kindle instead of your phone/tablet is so much easier on your eyes too! I’m a Kindle stan 🤣

I’ve used a kindle for over 10 years. I still occasionally read physical books but for bedtime reading and travel, I’m reading on a kindle. And if your library uses Libby, you can save so much money.

I’ve owned a Kindle Oasis for 6 years now and it is my baby. One of the best purchases I’ve ever made!

Ooh. I feel called out! I have had a Kindle Paperwhite for a few months. At first I was picking it up at night and in the morning, but now I am picking up my phone again. I definitely need to get back to my Kindle. Thank you!

And those of us reading before bed, and living with a significant other, the dark mode is very useful. My husband would complain about my book light

Kindle being a single use device is what puts me off tbh. I don’t want to own a bunch of devices when one device could be serving many purposes. I also find that using my phone for reading makes me more likely to read bc it’s already on me and in my hand. the transition from social media apps to the kindle app is easier than the transition between devices (I am autistic and adhd so transitions are hard for me)

I can see a mini i-pad working for mutiple purposes as well, but the only issue I have with the iPad is the lighting and mechanism is not set for reading. Kindles don't strain your eyes like regular tech screens I feel.

You autism helps you be a little more disciplined in not straying you away when you have the intent to read. This is a topic I'm sure she doesn't touch on based on her lack of experience in that area. I have an autistic friend who also prefers her iPad for kindle app reading because it actually helps her stay focused. I can see how the transition for devices is a little more difficult, I use my iPad for reading in certain scenarios because the switching can overstimulate me and then I dont want to read. You do what works best for you!

I think it being a single use device is actually why an eReader works for so many people. Once you pick it up you won't get distracted by notifications, a sudden need to check instagram or even something as simple as checking the weather. Just like with a physical book its just about the reading experience. I think this isn't for everyone but I think especially for people who struggle with getting distracted, an eReader can be a very helpful tool

@@Cherrylimeade0235 yeah that is a big draw for me. I don’t like looking at tech screens constantly, especially bc my job is 100% computer based. I also like that the new kindle is waterproof.

I hate when people compare ereaders to mobile devices. It’s not just about getting distracted, staring at blue light for hours is not good for your eyes. I don’t think we even yet know the affects blue light will have on our eyes until our generation gets older. It’s better to read from an e-ink screen

I have the paper white, Oasis, Fire and the Scribe .. I don’t leave my house without one of them. I love my Kindle Family ❤

You're spot on in your introduction! God Bless you Khalilah.

You make such a valid point about how easily we can get distracted reading on our phones and tablets. I definitely fall prey to this. I’ve been wanting to get a paperwhite. Thinking of rewarding myself when I hit a milestone 😊

I caved in from your last kindle video and bought a paperwhite. It’s actually helped me to read even more than before! I love how it makes me zone in without distractions and I can take it pretty much everywhere

I know! I bought my paperwhite a few weeks ago and I read 13 books in June with it! That’s way more than I normally read in a month

Thx for this video !! I’m debating in buying a kindle and this video really helps :)

Thought my kindle was going to be an unused impulse purchase but I’ve read more than ever!! I love it so much.

Honestly thank you for that video! I really needed the realisation that I’m on my phone way to much😅 I’m also going to try your tip about reading before bed ☺️

ooh loving these thursday uploads :)

Getting my Kindle reignited my love for reading. I didn't read for about five years. I would read a book here and there, but I wasn't an avid reader like I had previously been in lower school grades. I also wear glasses, and the strain on my eyes with the Kindle is practically non-existent. The only feature on the Kindle that I don't like is the audio. I will play play that on my phone and follow along on my Kindle and it works perfectly. I will always have one with me.

Just what I needed! I’ve been thinking about getting a kindle for my niece.😅😊

Clicked this soooo fast. Was just thinking about getting one!

I absolutely love my kindle paperwhite. Out of all ways to read it’s probably my favorite. Love a physical book but compared to my kindle it always eventually becomes unwieldy. Audiobooks are fantastic as well. However, there is just something immersing about reading the text in your own voices and letting your perspective take over. E-readers give a bit of everything. The convenience of portability and reading in various lighting. Being able to annotate and bring your library with you. There is just so many pros to an ereader in general but specifically with the kindle paperwhite. It is a comfortable size, has a very long battery life and is waterproof! It’s just everything you need if you enjoy reading and do so often. If you buy at least a book a month, kindle unlimited is 1000% worth it. And there’s always Libby if your library has! Possibilities are endless. Anyone on the fence about getting one needs to jump down and get it now 😅

I love my kindle paperwhite! It fantastic and thank you for the recommendation and advice about the kindle!

The main reason I want a kindle is to help with eyestrain. I always read on my phone but my eyes get red, dry, strained and I end up with a migraine. So an e-ink display would help a lot.

@@TheLegendOfRune that is great to hear! I more excited for prime day now.

Also not needing to buy a reading light just to read or even during the daytime when the sun is moving and with physical books you're always moving around to chase that light so you can read.

I bought a Kindle paperwhite and love it. It has no distractions which keeps me in a book.

Good review. Thank you.

I went with Kobo. I got the kobo Clara BW as kindle doesn’t work with our libraries in Canada. I also like that I am not stuck in a Amazon eco system for my books. I can load books from anywhere which is helpful because I read in more that two languages. For the authors only available on kindle I just buy those books. Great video!

I bought an iPad mini, specifically for reading, after my nook color crapped out. (I cannot deal with reading on the giant iPad). I loved it but realized after a while that my migraines were much more frequent and much more severe, even with the customized grey screen on the nook app. I finally bought a paperwhite signature and I’m soooooo in love with it💕. It’s definitely one of my best purchases ever!

Lovely video! I recently got a kobo. Mostly because the size of the newest kobo bw is perfect for my hands AND def fits women’s pockets and tiny purses with ALL the features of a ppw! Another reason is I wanna be free from the amazon ecosystem. The interface is more about YOU instead of what amazon recommends for you.

How did you know I wanted one, gurllll! Are we-- telepathically connected?

I have the 2nd generation kindle paperwhite lol. I bought it in aug of 2013 so it’s almost 11 years old and still going strong! The battery doesn’t last 8 weeks anymore but it lasts at least 4. It also has only 2gb (1.25 gb of user avail space) and I’ve never ran out. It doesn’t allow audiobooks. The only bummer is I think last year they stopped allowing 10+ year old kindles to purchase directly from the store. You have to do it online and send it to your kindle but I’ve always done it anyway because the kindle has always been extremely slow paging through the store. But anyway, all that to say, for $100 or whatever it was at the time it was a great investment! I don’t have any other electronic device that’s lasted so well 10+ years on. As much as I would love a new sage green kindle, I’m interested in seeing how long it will last!

I have had mine for about 6 months and I love it! I’ve read so much. It’s especially nice with having 2 young kids. With a paperback, they would take my book mark or rip pages. No problems like that with a kindle!

Thanks for the video!! Planing on buying kindle on prime day!

I got the 16 gb paperwhite from target last month for $30 cheaper than a refurbished one on Amazon. (It was during Father’s Day week). The main reason I finally caved is because I like to read at night and I travel a lot so reading in the car when it gets dark is awesome without a reading light.

I have a fire tablet and a basic kindle, but I love my covers in color, so I prefer my fire tablet

I bought a kindle first and loved it, but if you live outside the US it might be important to check if your overdrive or your library can be used on a kindle. I live in Canada and I had to return the kindle, because of this reason. I got a kobo instead and it was almost better, minus not having access to kindle unlimited.😅

I bought a 2010 kindle on eBay for $50 a few months ago. I love it. I don't need anything fancy

Hey Friend, Happy Saturday. I have never owned a kindle before but that works like a good thing to have. 😊🥰

Yes to all this except for the Kindle Unlimited subscription… I didn’t think it was worth the money at all and quickly cancelled it

I’m thinking about getting one but I’ll alway prefer a physical book. I’ll most likely only use it when reading in the dark or reading a book I’m unsure about so don’t want to buy.

Not to be dramatic but having a kindle has revolutionized vacations for me. I used to pack as many books as space and weight would allow relative to necessity ie clothes and now, I just throw my kindle in my purse and I'm good to go. It's also so much easier holding it with a popsocket when you're lounging than a physical book. I still love physical books but I've been leaning on e-books more and more.
