Hi there!
It’s great to meet you 🥰
My name is Maneetpaul Singh, but my friends call me Maneet (pronounced muh-neet). I'm a bookworm from Connecticut who loves tech. When I bought my first e-reader in 2020, I began reading more than I ever had before. I’ve made it my mission to help people fall in love with reading through Book Tech.
Think of me like the MKBHD of books.
There are three things I want you to know.

(2) If you’re struggling to build a daily reading habit and want to know how I became a bookworm, check out my short book titled Just One More Chapter: geni.us/GQX7rKe
(3) If you just want to chat, email me anytime hello@maneetpaul.com. I personally respond to every email.
Thanks so much for being here.
Happy reading!

Ummm, he didn't mean the color itself. He was describing seeing a brightly colored border, which is distracting while reading.
The best review I’ve seen. Very thorough and to the point. Exactly what I needed. Thank you.
The Kindle Scribe is so worth it. Some books, like comics for example, don’t allow for larger text. The big screen changes everything. I actually upgraded from an Oasis (which I still love) to a Scribe because it makes it much easier to read Chinese and Japanese text that isn’t adjustable. I’m 47. Thank you for listening to my TED Talk.
I got the kindle scribe to replace the Kindle DX I have had for about 10 years. What an upgrade. Fast, and larger at 10.2 inches over the 9.7 inches. Books with illustrations, newspapers, pdfs, and comics are awesome to read on this device. It flies faster than the crazy quick kindle paperwhite signature edition.
I bought the oasis in October last year. I love it. Love the size and buttons. I only read about 30 minutes a day so the battery life hasnt been an issue for me at all, especially due to using it on the lowest brightness setting.
Got here looking for information about the kindle paperwhite signature edition. Very complete video, straight to the point and also I appreciated the info about the scribe edition. Great job!!!!
I bought the Kindle Basic on Black Friday 2021 for $50. I got it in white. Six months later I bought the Kindle Signature edition. Personally, I like the smaller basic version overall because it is smaller. Sometimes I wish it had buttons I could push to turn the page because I’m having to constantly pick up my hand and turn the page but I guess you do that with a regular book anyway. I really enjoy it and it’s easy to stick in my purse.

Thanks for a timely and thorough overview of the Kindle versions.
Exactly what I was looking for, straight to the point, short and helpful. Thank you !
I've had the Kindle 11 Gen since 2021 and I'm really happy with it. Since December 2022 I also have the basic in blue. Since then I've been using the PW at home and the Basic on the go, since it's a lot more compact. I actually wanted an Oasis but it doesn't have a USB C yet. A nogo for me.
Great video my friend. It helped me a lot to decide about upgrading my 6th generation paperwhite kindle. I’ll got for the paperwhite signature because of the auto light adjustment. It has a nice discount currently. Thanks for making this video.
i've been binge watching all your videos! and traded in my kindle basic 2018 for a paperwhite it was such a steal !
just the video i needed! looking to get my first e-reader and this was very helpful and thorough and clear. Thanks!
I bought my first in 2017 and now looking for a new one. Thank you!
thank you so much for this review. I have been looking everywhere and trying to figure out which Kindle and I believe I have figured it out since I watched your video.
Planning to buy one. Thank you for sharing this! Big help.
Thank you! Excellent reviews here! Now, off to buy a Basic :)
interesting point about kindle kids, didn't hear it elsewhere. also like how you detail each model . good video style. thanks so much! good job!
Sooo useful, i really appreciate you doing these vids ❤
Thank you for such an independent review!! I ordered the Paperwhite 😊
Got to the point quickly and the way the video is structured is incredible. thank you
thank you very much for the comparison!! it was such a big help for me in deciding which kindle to buy :)
Your the best youtuber. You helped me make my choice. I'm thinking of getting thr 11th gen paperwhite because I'm a bookworm and will need to take it EVRRYWHERE. So the waterproof option will be very good.
Outstanding reviews and comparisons. Thank you!
This is super helpful! Thank you!
This video was super helpful - thank you!!
Thank you for your very helpful video. Wishing you all the best!
I read every single day. But it’s usually at night when I go to bed and turn off the lights. That’s what puts me to sleep. Most nights I’ll only get to read a few pages but the occasional nights when I have a tough time getting to sleep, I’ll read quite a bit. I’ve owned Kindles since 2010. Right now I have the Oasis.
Watching in London thankyou so much fair reviews brov oh & happy new year 🎉😊
Great video!! but I just recently bought the paperwhite 5, and I think I’m starting to regret not getting the new basic 🥲 I realized I don’t personally like the flushed screen, and the warm light (idk if it’s just my unit) has a pinkish tint so not liking that too. Might just sell this and buy the basic 😂
The Signature edition is currently on sale 🎉 I just purchased mine. This will be my first Kindle. I’ve been binge watching your channel since I ordered it.

You will love it! :) I purchased the Signature too and it replaces my old Kindle Oasis now.
I bought my kindle paperwhite in May 2017 (generation 7 i think, the white one), and I will have a kindle in my life as long as I breath lol I read more often thanks to it. I still REALLY love physical books, but since I am afraid to damage them, I keep the paper version at home, and take the ebook version with me everywhere lol I just wish to see another white kindle paperwhite in the future ♥
As usual, a great review! I’m “boujee” so now I know what I want.😊
Awesome video! I appreciate your time and knowledge 😊
Thank you. Very useful, clear, concise review. Looking forward to getting my new kindle. Cheers!
Great comparison video!! Thank you
I bought my first e reader a couple of days ago. I got the signature edition, partly because I do tend to buy a lot of text books and and other historical and academic work as well as all the novels I go through. Love this thing. I read a lot and and the adjustable light features are very useful and easy on the eyes. It came bundled with the wifi charger and fabric cover. I am very glad I could get this device. I may die with it in my hands.
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks.
Thanks for the great video. Covered everything so well. 🎉
Appreciate you. Fast n easy video
Great presentation! Thank you!
Very useful comparison, thank you! I go for the Paperwhite 🙏
So helpful thank you!
I just want to say thank you so much. My wife has been reading so much. She got the kindle unlimited and uses her phone and our IPad Pro but the phone is to small and the iPad is to big. I think this will be perfect for her. I think I might get the signature one.
I think the on/off buttons are very sensitive on every Kindle. I hate cases but I put a passcode such that it cannot simply turn on all the time and change my settings and position in the book.
Bought my second oasis recently, wanting that warm light for nighttime reading and on flights. I still rock a kindle keyboard though. I keep the kindle keyboard next to my bed An oasis (2016 - no warm light and with the fancy battery case) downstairs And an oasis (2019) in my suitcase as I travel a lot for work. All 3 with 3G/LTE as they've been bought over time and its proven itself way too useful when out and about travelling. I did consider replacing the keyboard with a kindle paperwhite as its now really only used in the home but the keyboard still works despite me getting it back in 2011.
Great video, really grateful for it and for you 👍🏻
Great video mate, keep up the good work!
One important advantage of the Kindle Scribe… ( and often missed in reviews) is the much larger escreen. Many older readers, as well as those with visual challenges, will benefit regardless of the note taking function.

@@JimzAuto I love my iPad Pro (also 12.9”) for any reading hat is mostly during the day. Right before bed or when my eye strain is bad (my eyesight is horrid enough already) I still love my older Paper White. I can read with a rather low brightness, can read outside in the glaring sunlight and no trouble (cannot read almost anything on the iPad if I’m outside esp. in summer -___-) Also, it’s heavy. Granted, my weirs are weak as anything and I much rather would use (if my nephew hadn’t broken it) the older iPad Pro 10.5” I doubt I’ll be buying another kindle any time soon/. Between the iPad and Paper White///yeah.
Great video, very informative and to the point, it helped me to choose the right model. Thank you.
Outstanding and professional video, many thanks !
I have a Kindle PW5 (and have used the PW3, PW4 and Oasis before). If I had to buy a new one, I'd go for the Paprwhite again. The larger 6.8 inch display really is a treat, however the 7 inch of the Oasis doesn't feel like that much of an upgrade. This new Kidle basic is basically a slightly faster Paperwhite 3, which is nice!
Love my kindle paper white 11th gen. It’s way faster and less laggy and the bigger screen.
I have a paper white signature and a library car from my local library and they have ebooks for kindle so it paid for itself. So happy with my kindle
Thanks! Very nice review. I now know what I'm going to buy.
Thank you Ji, your voice is very friendly.
Thanks. That was really useful.
Great video, thanks!
Great video. Thank you.
Not sure if this still works but when I got my kindle a few years ago I contacted Amazon support through chat and had them remove the ads from my device for free, so it's at least worth trying. Having to pay $20 to remove ads from a device I paid nearly $100 for is stupid lol
I have owned numerous Kindles over the years. I have gone back to the Kindle basic because it is the ONLY one that doesn't have a flush front. I wish they would make the the Kindle paper white with a sunk screen I would go definitely purchase it
Great video. I already own a Kindle Oasis (32GB) (I also bought it in 2020), but I just wanted to watch this to make sure I made the right decision. I suppose that I am one of the bougie bookworms. ^^
Very nice video and very helpful. Thank you :)

I tend to buy the newest Kindle every two'ish years since buying the very first edition way back for $359 😳 I have the Paperwhite Signature edition, bought last year, and a new 2022 Denim Blue Kindle arriving on Wednesday. I'm surprised that I didn't buy the Scribe, lol. Probably because I don't even use the Samsung SPens that come with my tablets.
Thank you Maneetpaul. Love your Kindle reviews. I'm exploring the Kindle options now for my brother who is still using my old Kindle 4, which is pretty busted by now. I love my Kindle Paperwhite 2021 and I instantly recommended it to him, but it is a bit too expensive. Which model do you find better, Kindle Paperwhite 4 (2018) or the basic Kindle 2022? I gather they both have a 300ppi screen and white only light, but is the Paperwhite 4 waterproof?
Great review! I bought my first Kindle (the Paperwhite) in 2013 and it's still going strong. It's certainly outlived 3 MacBooks and 3 iPads... Obviously, this comparison isn't fair as the others offer so much more with the exception of portability (although I'm looking at an iPad mini to act as one ultra-portable content consumption device. Reviews of the Oasis I've seen on Amazon suggest that the battery is a bit unreliable in terms of charging and holding a charge - was this your experience? It also looks too big to slip into a jacket pocket. My current Kindle (in sleep case) will just slide in, but an Oasis wouldn't nor, I suspect, would an iPad mini (except for larger pockets).
Great explanations!
Thanks for the video
Great Review thanks!
Thanks for the update. Think I’ll get the Signature addition with the wireless charging
Great review(er) Thank you.
I read all day, I have an oasis which I love but I dropped it at work the other day and immediately ordered the new paper white signature edition so my oasis doesn’t live the house anymore 😂😂😂 but I have to say the new paperwhite is pretty dope
This is a odd question. I have a Nook glowlight 4 and I love it. Most of my books are in the Nook eco-verse so it works well for me. I do have a growing number of kindle books that I would like to read in a more basic format. I currently use the kindle app with a $50 tablet which is ok but doesn't meet my needs. Which kindle would be best for a person like me who doesn't have a lot of books in the kindle universe. Thank you!
I am a big reader. Couple years ago I picked up paperwhite signature and absolutely LOVE IT! I love how long the battery lasts.
Thanks, very informative
i just got my paper white and its very very better than larger screen in terms of reading in transport breaks between classes and good grip
I upgraded to the Oasis a year before they updated the models so no need to upgrade, but I needed to figure out what the heck these differences are before I buy the one my mom has on her wishlist so thanks for the round up.
I am on the market for a new and afforable ebook device. Thank you for this detailed review.
Kid kindle is best!!! That’s what I have and the warranty, case, no ads etc is so worth it
Currently in the UK, buy a Kindle or Paperwhite with ads it will arrive before Xmas. Without ads, Kindle arrives 11 Jan and Paperwhite won't arrive until February! So beware, price is not the only difference, they make you wait longer to get the ad free version
Have a 2015 kindle basic, still love the thing a lot, today i ordered a Paperwhite and handing down the 2015 to my mom so she can get her reading speed up after her brain hemorrhage hampered her reading and math.
I've been watching your videos ever since I'm in the market to buy new ereader because my 2018 Paperwhite felt a little dated. I bought georgious white Kobo Libra 2 with red origami cover. But after reading a couple of titles on the Kobo I switched back to reading on my old kindle because it was simply light and portable and i wouldn't worry much if it's tossed around and breaking. At my home I read on my Kobo and on the go I grab my Kindle. Recently I decided to buy new Kindle basic just for it's size and weight but Kindle Paperwhite kids was on sale and just 5 dollars more from the basic version so I ordered it. I hope i did the right decision 😃

Hi, love your reviews but I have the smaller paperwhite 10th generation and want to know what's the difference between the 10th gen paperwhite and 11th gen paperwhite aside from being smaller. Are they the same?

I got the oasis despite knowing it has bad battery life. Thats the con i was most hesitant on but i really wanted the buttons. And It’s true. I hVe to charge every 2 days or every day when I’m reading a lot. But somehow the buttons make it okay lol. Game changer. But if a new oasis comes out ill probably get one.
Im newish to kindles so this is really helful to me thanks.
I think I will just keep buying new batteries for my Kindle 3 currently, unless I can pick up paperwhite on sale. I have had my kindle since like 2011 or 12. Though the light that came with the case cannot be replaced anymore. So I have found a workaround. I can adjust the page type in it, the page turning on the side (unlike the oasis). The power button is on the bottom, but it is a slide button. I do not get an add, but I do have a splash screen, but it goes away when I hit the power button. The only thing is it is not paper like.
This fall, including right now, the Oasis 3 has been on sale for $165! I never saw any version of Oasis on sale until this fall, so I wonder if Amazon might be clearing their inventory for an Oasis 4.
