    The ads are based on what you read. Do you share an account with your husband? I was getting ads based on what my son was reading. I created a separate account for him. This fixed the issue of ads on my Kindle not within my interest.

    That's what I assumed was happening, but I wasn't 100% certain! I read one romance book and started getting CRAZY romance ads, but they wouldn't change even when I started reading mainly thrillers. It did have some spice in it, so maybe they took that and ran wild with it! I am thoroughly content with not having to worry about the ads anymore, though :)

    Found your channel & subbed! I loved Better Than the Movies so much, I cannot wait for you to share your thoughts before Nothing Like the Movies comes out 😍 All I could say about Lynn Painter is that she's an icon, she's a legend, & she is the moment, enough said. Good luck with your TBR & Happy 4th of July! 🎆☀ I have a personally fun question for you. Would you rather be able to read only romance books with the grumpy/sunshine trope for the rest of your life or read only hockey romance for the rest of your life?

    Just ordered a Paperwhite to replace my Oasis I've had for 2 years - the battery life (literally have to charge more than once a week if I read a lot on minimal brightness settings), micro USB, and form factor are not for me.

This one you read without reading the ones before. Tony Hillerman books are very well written. You need to read the Jesse stone books. Very fast paced and comical. What else, hmm 🤔....

    I bought the signature edition when it was on sale for 155$. I would have spent the extra money to remove the ads anyways so I could justify buying the expensive version. Was very torn about the colour and wasn't brave enough to go for the green. I was afraid it would be "distracting" because of the small bit of green on the edges. The green looks so much prettier though. 😢❤

    Thank-you for doing this update as most videos iv seen are all unboxing kindles or they haven't had it a very long time. I also was frying my battery unknowingly, luckily I realised on first charge, it did great then after 80% it wasn't really doing anything until I switched plugs. I feel like the kindles should come with a warning or if they do its not very obvious lol. Also in regards to the speed I also don't mind it, I think the problem is everyone is so use to get everything like yesterday they no longer have the patience,.but since getting rid of social media of my phone and starting reading I feel like my patience has significantly increased.
