I know a lot of people think that kindle vs iPad is a weird comparison but this helps me so much! I’ve been wanting to get a kindle PW since I’ve gotten back into reading but I constantly use my IPad mini to read my Kindle books but also my Apple Books and also use reading apps to track what I’ve read and my reviews! Of course the blue screen isn’t so comfortable and neither is the size which is exactly why I’d like to get a PW but (even in these comments) I see others complain about the lagging while bringing up a book or turning a page which seems kind of useless when your being engaged in a book. So in the mean time till they are able to clearly fix the PW I’ll just stick to my mini for now :)

There's no lag in turning the pages. It might not be instant quick, but it's not a lag. It's certainly quicker than turning a page on a book. :). There are lags opening up a book or paging through your library. But seriously that's nothing of a price to pay for a reading experience that is so much closer to reading a book than an electronic device. A tablet like the mini (which is very nice device) is also distracting. Ever since I got a Kindle, I've read so much more books than I ever had with the tablets or phone or computers.

I agree this was a helpful video. I've had my iPad mini for a little over a year now, and I use it for EVERYTHING. I also have one of the older Kindle Paperwhites I recently dug out and used a little because I felt bad it was just sitting there! I've been reading books on my mini the whole time I've had it and not had any complaints. When you compare the features, Kindle does seem to win if you are ONLY reading and ONLY using Amazon books but I also use Apple books and Cloud Library and Hoopla from my library. With my iPad changing between those apps is no big deal. Thanks for making the decision easy...I will NOT be upgrading my Kindle paperwhite...in fact I'm going to rehome my older model to a family member.

I have both. I use my kindle for all my reading and the iPad mini for watching videos, movies, play games and many other tasks. Cheers!

Great comparison video! As beautiful as the Kindle display is (literally looks just like paper), I felt I didn't need a dedicated eReader, so I opted for the iPad mini.

i can see that you have given a big effort to test these two devices from your panda eyes, respect

To compare these devices head to head as the title of this video infers is an apples and oranges comparison (no pun intended). The two devices do not have the same audience in mind. If you want a tablet, get the tablet that makes the most sense for you (iOS, Android, or perhaps even an Amazon Fire). The beauty of the new Kindle Paperwhite (2021) is the form factor, the ease of readability in almost any location, the ability to read without blue-light eye strain, etc. And let's be clear, these aren't novel innovations from previous generations of the Paperwhite. Rather, these are just significant improvements. If you are pondering a Kindle of any sort, certain assumptions can likely be made upfront -- the most important of which being that you're already in the Amazon kindle book ecosystem or want to be in it and don't have content in other places. Here's the reality. If you are a serious reader who likes the convenience of not carrying books around, are already in the Amazon Kindle ecosystem for books, and want to be able to read anywhere, distraction-free, without battery or glare anxiety, then the 2021 Paperwhite may be an excellent upgrade for you. If you want a tablet that has the ability to read from multiple different book sources but may not be the best reader in all conditions but has other functionality, get the tablet. Or, you might opt for both. But again to view this video as a head-to-head comparison does neither device justice. They both CAN function as eReaders and give a great experience, the question is which experience is more important to you the consumer. The review **is fair and accurate** but the title is misleading as these devices are both excellent in their abilities but also have vastly different intended user bases.

This like I have an iPad mini already and have been wondering if I should go out and get a kindle in theory I shouldn’t but to read distraction free it’s a good option

I have been using first an iPad Mini, then an iPad Air, and latest an iPad Pro 11” for reading and studying. Two months ago I passed over my iPad Pro to my kid and got a Kindle Paperwhite 6.8”. I read 5 times more books than before - and I mostly read mathematical and statistical textbooks… the key reasons why a Kindle is better for me, are the better screen experience, and also the always-with-me form factor. I can still highlight texts on the Kindle, although I cannot scribble on the books any more, and also, reading PDFs are not so good (but also not so bad). My eyes appreciate the reading experience.

For the longest time, I used ipads and didn't see the need to switch to kindle. Hence when I did switch, I never looked back. The reading experience is superior on an ereader.

@BalynOmavel

Why?

Have had an older Paperwhite for years, have a mini 5 and bought a new PW thinking surely they would have fixed the abysmally slow frustrating software. Nope-I like the size/weight but don’t like the nighttime dark theme for in bed reading-terrible, and just gave up and went back to my Mini 5 for in bed reading. I read a LOT-have tons of books on both my Kindle and my Ipads (or in cloud)- sometimes use my 12.9 to read also so have books downloaded to all devices, including phone. My Kindle app on Ipads knows my Amazon account also and gives me choice to which device I want downloaded-the major plus for the Kindle for me was size/weight (very occasionally outside reading but normally read under roof outside so not a problem) but I can’t read newspapers, other reading sources, no illustrations. Having both I can use both-but I tend to pick up the Mini much more often than the Paperwhite.

Would never consider an iPad for reading books. The charging issue alone makes that an easy decision.

I'm not even much of a book reader, although that is about to change, and I know that book readers would not choose the tablet over the dedicated e-reader for just reading. They would only pick the tablet if they have to use it for something else, like for work or for school or something. Many book readers are still fighting about paperback vs hardback and physical books vs eBooks, so when it comes to the whole Kindle vs iPad debate, it is usually something only tech journalists cover, and many of them prefer the iPad/tablets because of their uses outside of reading. The thing is though, iPads have a lot of distractions. A lot of readers just want to read without being distracted, and a Kindle is just as good as a physical book in that regard, providing no distractions from the book you are reading. I've done a lot of research into buying my new Kindle for myself and most readers only use a phone or tablet to read for convenience, but they will more often than not take their Kindle everywhere with them because it doesn't add much weight to what they have to carry, it's a better experience for reading anywhere and is distraction free.

Been using my iPad for reading...but decided to dig out my super old Kindle Paperwhite. They both have their positives...one major thing I love about the ipad is how easy it is to look words up I don't understand. I'm re-reading the Game Of Thrones series and I'm constantly highlighting names and doing google searches directly from the book to find photos from the tv show of the person so I get a better idea of who they are...and I obviously can't do that on my Kindle. However...I find I'm reading a whole heck of a lot more now that I brought my Kindle back out. It just feels better to me. It's easier on my eyes and it's far more compact than my iPad (using an 11").

You can also get books from your library in the US on a kindle

I have iPad mini for drawing and watching movies should I get the kindle also? I realized I started buying physical books more recently but don’t have storage in my home…

If you are just going to read books, Kindle for sure. For text books, magazines, etc. then Ipad mini is way better. I use kindle for reading, but am getting an Ipad mini for all those other types of reading. A kindle kind of sucks for large text books because it can be slow to bounce around, search, mark up etc. Ipad makes it a lot easier for those reasons.

Does the anti-glare screen protector reduce the sharpness of the fonts in books on the iPad ?

They make it look like night and day size difference, the actual primitre of the tablet it’s only about half inch difference bigger on the new model but they did a good job in making the screen bigger, so it would fit just as good. And it’s not heavy by much because it’s only they made an half inch difference on the dimension and they used every available space within the tablet to make the screen bigger so you will notice the screen difference good job.

Slow software on the Kindle and abysmal dark mode screen (black background with white letters, which pin kindle is actually gray background) are two of the main reason why I read mainly on my iPhone and soon on a iPad mini. Add to that the fact that I can write up reviews in notes and access Goodreads and multiple reading apps right from the ipad or iPhone makes them the much better reading device for me. Even for night reading (black background, white letters, and turn brightness way down) is far better and clearer than on the kindle.

The Kindle PaperWhite is lighter and smaller than an iPad mini, and it's not as slippery as the mini so it's a lot easier to handle when you are relaxing in a chair or in bed. But it's only best for "reading text". If your material contains charts or photographs, or if you do a lot of Wikipedia lookups, you will probably prefer the iPad because it is much more responsive.

I’m looking for the unicorn device! High productivity and excellent reading experience.

My biggest beef with the PW is the lack of decent image support. It turns out this is a two-part problem. The hardware only does 16-level grayscale, so that's a limitation. However, I have loaded my own photographs onto my PW and they look fantastic. The images in Kindle e-books are terrible. I Googled my brains out trying to understand why. As far as I can tell, Amazon imposes an arbitrary size limit on Kindle e-books. So, even if the original e-book file contains awesome images, Amazon somehow filters them down to very low resolultion and somehow can't even do 16-level grayscale; it looks like 4-level to me. Maps are completely unreadable. I was really torn about switching to an iPad mini. I was willing to accept more frequent charging and a much higher price. And a much heavier device. But the bottom line was that I realized that Kindle e-book images would look just as terrible on an iPad as they do on the PW. Another data point: I downloaded a book from Gutenberg that was an 1896 non-fiction book about a bunch of train conductors who took a nine-week cross-country chartered train trip. The photographs were excellent. So, bottom line, IMO: if you read a lot of e-books that contain images, diagrams, maps, tables, etc., you are going to hate your kindle e-Books, on any device. I'm still looking for a solution.

What's that camera?

The Kindle is a generic ereader. You can read books and documents from any source as long as they are available in a compatible file format, including PDF (but there are better formats). For example, I read tons of free ebooks that I have downloaded from the Project Gutenberg site. Also, I joined my local public library and I can download and read tons of free library ebooks on my Kindle. In addition, if I have a long Word document to read, I can load it on my Kindle and read it while I am traveling, or in bed. For "reading text" the Kindle Paperwhite is unsurpassed. However, as I have written elsewhere, I have two major complaints with the Kindle: first, while the Kindle itself has a semi-decent 16-level grayscale monochrome display for graphic material, Kindle books tend to have terrible graphics. My own charts, photographs, and diagrams looks terrific on a Kindle. Second, if you use the Kindle's Wikipedia lookup feature a lot, I think you will find that the Kindle is extremely slow and unresponsive compared to an iPad.

@@aeris2001 it won’t be anything like a real book but I feel good to carry my whole library when I travel and to carry it inside my purse. 😄😄

Going on reading alone kindle beats most imo

kindle display is never that responsive as iPad..

I've been trying to use my ipad pro 12.9" for reading, and while I like reading from it while it's mounted on the magic keyboard, I want something smaller. I just checked the dimensions of the Paperwhite and at 6.9", it's actually .1" smaller than my Note 20 Ultra. So I don't think I really need to buy anything.

Not the same aspect ratio, so big difference.

kindle is just a e-reader... iPad mini is a tablet and iPad can do whatever kindle can do.. does not work the other way..

The jelly scroll on the ipad kills me. I was going to buy one but it's really annoying.

The iPad isn't a true "e-reader", so I'm not really understanding the point of this video.

Pointless video, e ink was developed designed and utilised specifically for reading.. it wins hands down always over any LCD screen device no matter what features it has.

No it doesn't, e ink is rubbish

If you want to read outdoors under direct sunlight (park, beach, etc) the ipad is pretty much useless. If you want to read comics and/or have extra apps, browse the internet, then the Kindle is useless. Pick accordingly

Is there anyone ever who is considering buying an iPad Mini just for reading books? >.

I admit I bought the Mini 5 to replace an older Kindle PW with battery issues-and used it for that, especially in bed reading, until a really good one day deal appeared for the new Paperwhite. I, however, never used it JUST for reading-and my reading covers a lot of sources-newspapers, a few magazines, pdfs-which the PW can’t use. I also read a lot from NC digital library, Kindle format, but that is available to my Kindle as well as all my devices with Kindle app. My husband uses his older. PW for night reading but I notice he reads during the day on his 10.7 Ipad in Kindle app.

Yes, me. But not JUST for reading books, though that’s its primary use. When it comes to reading, an iPad makes reading graphics-heavy media a lot easier: graphic novels, magazines, documents and textbooks with lots of diagrams, art and art-heavy books like tabletop RPG manuals - the list goes on. Color e-ink is just, meh. I also listen to ambient music when I read, so being able stream music from KZread is an added bonus for me. Ive got plenty of graphics-heavy books and books outside the Kindle ecosystem. I never read outside, and don’t read for long enough periods to get eye strain. An iPad makes sense for my primary use case, with the added bonus of my secondary use cases: media consumption, note taking/referencing, and general browsing. I currently do all of the above on my 6th gen iPad, but I’m looking to downsize to the new iPad mini for the form factor.

Umm me lol…i think im honna buy one? although I have an ipad pro Which is big… its good but i use it in college and i do read on it…but idk maybe its silly but i want a small one next to my bed and i dont want to worry abt the battery since i use it for my uni… but maybe i shouldn’t be that silly and just change the case whenever i read on it and select the focus mode, but small ipad feels nice but maybe it will be stupid to carry two ipads also to export my books in my bigger ipad will be kinda waste, but its cool to have small pink ipad but it’s stupid and inconvenient since i have a big one i can just do little adjustments and making it pink too!!!!/!/! And abt the battery i can just charge it :) (If someone reading this its just me negotiating with my intrusive thoughts) but ty for the question

not everyone is reading under the sun...

Thanks for this video, you can plainly see how much better the iPad screen is. Has a bright white screen like a real book, not dull nasty grey scale

Paper Books are best.

Unless you are old and have cataracts.

iPad display is terrible for reading. Not merely "less than ideal". Imagine sitting two inches from the tv and reading for a half hour. That's what you're doing with the iPad. Use an e-ink screen for reading, point blank. Literally nothing compares. All e-ink screens like Kindle support sideloading whatever you want, don't claim you're "stuck" with Amazon books, etc. only.

E reader screens are too dull and dark, i sold my kindle Oasis and bought an iPad mini instead

But… why?

Spec comparison on a ereader vs tablet 😂. Stopped listening after that.

Nada a ver.

cannot compare at all. like honda vs porsche.. yeah they are both car..

The Kindle is far better for reading, period. However I prefer the iPad’s experience and functionality around reading. Such as note taking and the far superior ui and ux.

Is it April Fool's Day again?
