do you mean caliBRE not caliber.

My son was nice enough to get me a one year subscription to Kindle Unlimited. The very fist thing I put in was a 51 page short story for $1.50. It wouldn't give it to me for free. I then started putting in books by my favorite authors and get the same damned thing!! The only thing you're going to get for free are books by people you've never heard of before. What a WASTE OF MONEY!!!!! OBTW, Prime video used to have good stuff to watch. It's been a very long time since it was that way. It's all junk now. BOTH are a waste of money.

My stupid library cards expire and you have to drive to the library to renew. Public library are a waste of tax dollars. A private membership electronic library would be so much better.

The kindle says if you use a Mac you must use send to kindle

That really sucks that you can’t send audio books to the kindle

Tried a Kobo Clara through amazon prime with their return policy, and sure enough the Clara I received had 5-15 ded pixels that were just black, along the top edge of pixels. One and done with Kobo! Seen so many various kindle models in person and not one was littered with ded pixels like that.

LIBBY SPONSOR HIM

This video has saved my butt, switching over from Kindle to Kobo. Thank you!

Thanks!

Does Amazon offer sales on Christmas ????

Great video thanks do,you know if this works with comics brought on amazon

Nice roundup, Dylan. :) I do think you're selling the Paperwhite SE a little bit short, though. Not having to deal with the ads is worth $20 right there. (I've had the ads turned on for a while, but I always end up turning them off.) I'll admit that the auto-brightness won't work for everyone, but it's at least nice to have. And as for the wireless charging, well, I think that if you're a heavy reader, you're probably never going to reach three months. Even if you're charging every month, that's not too bad, I guess, but it's just one more USB cable you have to have. And TBH, the wireless charging stand has been a good place to keep my Kindle when I wasn't using it. I've actually moved on to the Kobo LIbra Colour now (mainly because, like you, I didn't see much value in the Colorsoft or the Scribe). I've definitely had to charge it more often, but the added value of having pen capability and color in the same device was worth it.

just got a paper white signture edition 11th generation and ive got a book on libby but it not letting me connect libby to my kindle im in the uk any ideas

Just ordered it for $134 from Amazon for my wife. It’s her fist kindle. She loves to read.

What about Apple Books and Calibre?

The clicker thing is ridiculous, like actually soemething out of Wall-E where the people get too lazy to just literally hold a book and need to be in a vegetative state at all times

So... "The BEST Kindle in 2025" *is* what you'd expect

How about iBooks?

Nice video. Very informative.

In a group I am in, people discovered that the Kindle basic fits in a leather pouch from the company we love, so everyone has been ordering the basic. I have a Paperwhite that is a couple of years old. I think I want the basic to bring it with me.

I have the last SE, the new PW and the Matcha Basic for carrying around. I got the Matcha first and traded my Oasis for the latest PW. I am loving the portability of the Matcha and love the speed of the new PW, so right now a tossup on which I favor. I also don’t think the SE is worth the extra cost but I do like no ads and having the extra room for audible downloads has been nice.

The best Kindle 2025? It's for me the Kindle Scribe 2022 that has just been updated!

I didn’t know you and fureverbooked were connected. I’ve purchased amazing items from her! Also a new watcher to your channel and enjoying it.

32 gig limitation "more than anyone would ever need, ebooks are tiny" meanwhile looking at my epub folder sitting at 400GB "sure bud. whatever you say. you expect me to /delete/ stuff? only carry things i expect to read? but what if i happen to be in a situation where i need a suture reference manual and don't have the medial books i got "just incase"? we can store the total sum of human knowledge in our pockets, but you want me to be blind, deaf, and dumb if the wifi goes out? " anyway. 2tb sdcard expansion slots or bust.

Imagine my surprise when I find this video, and then see my library's logo on screen haha! Love the Greenville County Libraries!!!

My biggest issue with the Kindle Basic is actually that you don’t get the page turn animation. I love the portability more than the paperwhite, actually.

I think your reviews are really accessible and informative for the everyday consumer. Not too technical, a good balance of pros and cons, and not simply trying to recruit more fans to the cult of kindle consumerism. I'm a tech enthusiast so I enjoy the deep dives as well, and keeping informed of how thinggs are evolving, from other channels but wanted to acknowledge and appreciate what you are doing.

It stating the color is shipping. I wonder if they fixed the issue

The Scribe got an update. You can write on any books. It’s called Canvas.

I bought the Colorsoft and returned it. After using the Kindle Oasis for years, I didn't like the lack of page-turn buttons. My favorite Kindle in 2024 is from 2019. I think when my Oasis dies I will need to either switch to Kobo or put some kind of strap or pop socket on a Paperwhite.

Thanks for the comparison. I’ve been reading on my 6th generation Paperwhite I purchased over 11 years ago. Still love it. I have read hundreds of book on it. The battery is still going great and the size is perfect for traveling. That being said I just broke down and purchased the new 12th gen Paperwhite SE. Like you, I don’t think the Special Edition is worth the extra money. If this new one serves me as well as my last one, it will probably be the last one I ever buy. Love watching your honest, down to earth reviews.

I don’t have mine yet…I just ordered it. I have a number of art books and text books I would love to have in color. I thought about the Kobo but honestly, I have over 1500 books, I don’t see me transferring all of them to Kobo so I’m hoping the Colorsoft works out. According to Amazon, the yellow line issue has been resolved. Wish me luck😊

I have both the regular Paperwhite and the Paperwhite Signature. In my opinion, the Signature edition is NOT worth the extra cost. The wireless charging only works with the wireless charger that comes with the kindle. Doesn't work with any other wireless charger nor does the wireless charger work with any other device. The higher gigabyte storage is a non issue for the vast majority of people. Even heavy readers who never off load books will never use more that 5-10 gigs. Most don't realize you can off load read books and just keep them in your Kindle cloud. No need for huge amounts of storage.

Great review! I have the Raspberry SE paperwhite, I wound up sending back 2 colorsofts. AND your wife has the BEST cases , stickers and all the cute stuff!

Thanks for the updates on the kindles.

Scribe $400! WOW! Will need to sell that extra kidney! Thank you very much! Dylan.

I got my 11th gen kindle for 70 dollars, works amazing. I have no reason to 'upgrade' but I enjoy watching your kindle videos :D

I liked the video before I even watched the video.

Last month during the Black Friday sales I traded in my Kindle Scribe (which I actually like a lot) and purchased the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. I LOVE it! It is my third Kindle and the best one yet! I read on the device for an hour to two hours a day and I have not yet needed to charge it (about two and a half weeks). I enjoy your reviews. Keep 'em coming! 🙂

Broward County cards only work on Libby for 3 or 6 months. After which time you have to physically go into the library and show your local ID and address on a utility or other bill.

I think you should have put more emphasis on the store on the two devices.

2024 faster and a better screen.

Man, you have to be FAST. I found a few good ones, added to my cart, and were gone when I went to check out.

The power butt…..oh, never mind 😊

Unfortunately, every time I clicked on "customize plug-in" it crashes Calibre, something about "libcrypto." I restarted, reinstalled, even tried it on my laptop with the same result.

Super helpful. Question, my kindle converted books show up on my Kobo device, but not on the Kobo iphone app or on my mac. Only my Kobo purchased books show up. I have sync'd and tried newer and older published books. I have converted to both Kepub and epub. I have connect my kobo to my iphone by bluetooth, but no luck so far. Is it not possible?
