Why has no one commented on the fact that you got everything you needed from this video in the first minute but you kept on watching it anyway? What a way to start a review video, summarize everything as soon as the video opens. Great for impatient viewers but all the more wanting to watch it in full. Amazing irony.

Mad respect for adhering to the context of the “Abstract” of an academic report. Despite putting your conclusion at the beginning of the video, I continued to watch this video till the end to learn how you came to this conclusion, and I don’t feel any form of impatience while watching this video cause I’ve already got what I wanted in the first minute

[@owenhale4384]

totally, you tubers are incentivized to string us along to maximize watch time, mad respect to Ali for being true to his ethos of maximum productivity.

[@cdromthedisc]

This is how I will from now on structure my arguments.

Just got my first kindle today, I bought the basic. I don’t know how I survived all this years without it. I love it! I decided to go with the basic because is my first so I don’t have any other to compare to make it hard to choose. I might change it when they release a new one.

[@mrsam6455]

How are you finding the screen sizing and reading experience. I've stuck to books and have defended the advantages of physical copies to my friends who have them, but I'm hesitating to buy a Kindle because of the screen size, book availability, and the UI. Let me know.

[@Rrachlloys]

@@mrsam6455 i know I’m not the one u asked but I need to just tell you I love my kindle so much it’s literally perfect, makes everything SO much easier, i can take it everywhere, screen size really isn’t an issue at all for me and even if it was the experience you have whilst using one would put weight any negatives imo. Yeah the tech on it’s not the fastest or the smoothest but that doesn’t affect the main part which is reading the book at all, that only applies to searching for books. Not only is the availability of books great (for me, i guess it depends what u read), the fact u can buy one book, finish it & go straight to another and then find all your recommendations on there is even better, just keeps everything in one place! My favourite part of it though is that I can read laying down or in any position really, I’d really recommended putting a pop socket on the back of the kindle if you get one/have got one, makes holding it sm easier! Lol okay rant over 🤣

[@junas4837]

I'm gonna use the kindle paperwhite 2019 until the next huge upgrade. The bigger screen on the latest paperwhite is a great thing, but not enough to make me do the jump. I don't agree with the idea of buying new devices just for minor upgrades, if I did that I'd be constantly changing my stuff. Deciding to adhere to this principle helps to avoid FOMO too.

[@Whoareyoupeople900]

I got the upgrade from my husband for Christmas. The warm light and bigger screen is nice. But that's about it and it's nothing that's hands down needed. The wireless charging, in my opinion, sucks. I noticed when I used the wireless charging The battery drained in 3 days. When I charged it with the cord well I'm on week 5 with the battery.

[@catitse2]

Exactly, so am I

[@ActuallyJamesS]

Same here, although I must admit I do wish my Kindle had a warm light. Also, my Paperwhite can be quite slow when navigating - not sure if the new one has a bit of extra speed.

Beyond the price, I absolutely love the size and feel of the standard Kindle, and the white color option is just really pretty. I switched from a 3rd gen paperwhite to the current basic around a year ago, and I don't really miss the extra resolution.

It does get better than that... just read from a kindle. You can hold the kindle with one hand, you don't need a lamp to read at night, you can switch to dark-mode, you can hold it wih one hand, it's easy to change page and you can keep all your books in one device.

[@jeanyluisa8483]

I just bought a new Kindle Paperwhite because the batterie of my more than 6 years old Kindle Touch got quite weak. I'm not dissapointed by the new Paperwhite, but I also cannot really see a huge step forward. For normal books the higher resolution of the paperwhite display is not noticeable to me. The backlioght might be an advantage sometimes, my old Kindle touch did not have that. But since the normal Kindle nowadays also has backlight, thats no reason to spend more money for the Kindle Paperwhite. So the only advantage I see is that the Paperwhite is water resistant. I usually dont read in the rain or under the shower, but maybe it some day might come handy in the bath tub or in holidays at the pool. What I dont like too much about the new Paperwhite is the flat front. My old Kindle Touch has a has a protruding edge. This way you can easily feel where to hold it without touching the display and accidently changing pages. Another advantage is that the display doesnt get scratched when laying it on the display side.

[@Freestylestar900]

You're the first KZbinr I watched who used this kind of style (iPad video) and I'm in love with it. Like I'm impatient but I am also curious.

[@吳樂華-k5m]

I bought a kindle a few years ago. Now seeing that Kindle Paperwhite is waterproof blew my mind! I've always wanted that.

[@Riverpeth]

Kindle Paperwhite (not signature) is easily the best value proposition with all of the premium features one would actually use. The SE adds 3 features, all of which are comically unnecessary. Who thought increased storage and wireless charging were advantageous on a device that only needs charging once every few months, and which uses eBooks which struggle to fill even half of the standard edition with lower storage?

[@robertvirnig638]

I'd like to know how you get a Kindle to last a few months on a charge. I have a regular Kindle and have to charge it about once every 4 days, which is frequent enough to leave me with some charging anxiety most of the time because I never know when it will die. I did have an old Kindle before the backlight and it did last a few weeks. I agree that the extra storage is useless unless you want to have many thousands of books downloaded at the same time or for some reason want to use the thing to play Audible which I can't imagine doing as your cellphone works more conveniently. I ordered the SE version partly because of the charging, but also the adjusting backlight, hopefully, in practice it works as well as my cellphone since I really use this feature on that device, and I don't use my regular Kindle in the dark because it is so bright.

[@Riverpeth]

@@robertvirnig638 Kindle Paperwhites have had incredible battery life for years. Even with heavy daily usage (several hours a day) I get at least 4 weeks. Is it possible that your previous Kindle just had a defective battery?

[@TCamp72a]

I generally agree with you on the recommendations. But I would disagree with you on the Kindle Oasis. I have smaller hands, and I really appreciate the buttons on the Oasis. I love being able to hold it one-handed, and flip the pages back and forth with my thumb. And laying it bed, the buttons flip if you change which side you're reading on. Is it a bit high-priced? yes Would I prefer USB-C? yes. But the overall experience of actual use is my favorite (I had a Kindle Touch, and then a Kindle Paperwhite.)

I have been debating between the Signature and the Oasis. Do you find the Oasis to be too slippery to use without a case?

Highliting works well enough, but taking notes on the kindle is a ghastly experience. I have no idea how people actually do it, very crappy experience. The lack of syncing for notes and highlights with “documents”, that is, books that you acquire from outside of amazon, is a glaring and appalling omission. Still excellent gadgets, but these faults make a serious difference for workflow

[@imad1996]

I enjoy your videos. Thank you. In my opinion, the selection should take into consideration the amount of time a person reads on the kindle. You notice the benefits of light auto-adjust when you use it on daily basis. for example, I see it going brighter or dimmer each time I change my position in bed as per the light in the room. If you read every night then not the price but such a nice feature. I believe most heavy readers spend good money on books. Here when you will notice the Oasis with the physical buttons happens to be the best if you are a very heavy reader.

[@shelbymustain9077]

The game changer with the oasis is you can put a pop socket or one of those phone strap thingies on the back of the button part and it is sooooooo much nicer to hold. When I had the regular paperwhite, I was constantly dropping it. The oasis was so worth it for me personally

[@woshijunfa]

u can do that with a normal kindle...

[@squirlmy]

@@woshijunfa bezel's not big enough. "Button part" certainly doesn't communicate this if you don't have it in front of you, OP's bad, but it's an inch wide. Screen real estate on "normal" kindle's are already frustratingly small, so to have to cover nearly an inch of it is unacceptable.

Thanks for the great informative video. I’ve had the original kindle for years but not having a light was quite annoying. Over the years it has become somewhat slower, and randomly if I touched the side of the screen it would sometimes turn off. I’ve just ordered the new paperwhite. Not having to have the bedside lamp on will be a game changer 👍🏻

[@davido8155]

I feel like other youtubers could benefit from this technique instead of peaking your interest and then pulling your leg and then giving you what you want at the end of the video after they gave a shoutout to the sponsor of the video , you can really learn to tell the difference between someone who provides value ( shout out marketing ) and someone who wants something from you.

[@davido8155]

Its such a simple and strategy , either you can give upfront and loose viewtime by giving them what they want first but compound overtime or you can be stingy and pull peoples legs for more view time in the short term. But imagine this you have two friends one who always asks for things and the other who just gives ; they may not give you things but just overall being around them improves your mood. These same rules apply to your favorite and not so favorite youtubers.

If you’re on a budget I would really recommend getting a used kindle from ebay! The only reason I buy new tech is because with things like phones/laptop they tend to become slower and the battery capacity is worsened if you buy a used one. But you don’t notice this with a kindle because the battery lasts ages and it’s just a simple device in general. I bought a used kindle paperwhite 2018 last year for only £50 and it works perfectly. There are always plenty selling on eBay.

[@calebwhite6173]

I searched eBay and honestly the old devices are just as expensive as the brand new ones unless you get a really old one but after shipping I might as well get the basic one new. All preference I guess 🤷‍♂️

I have started working as a freelancer this year, and I need a better tech to use when reading pdfs and source materials for projects like book reviews and story settings/plots.

Having adhd, anything that is just a little too difficult to read on a computer or phone I end up procrastinating so to have a place where I can read pdf books and source materials without the struggle of glossy screens and other simple distractions will be so much better for my productivity!

[@justanotherday5441]

Can't see the Oasis being trash when it is still has the best specs compared to all other Kindles. The signature edition Paperwhite has some nice touches bringing it almost on par with the Oasis, but why pay for almost when you can have the real thing. First of all, screen is king when it comes to reading and the Paperwhite, including the Signature edition, still has a significantly darker and more difficult to read screen, not to mention a smaller screen. The Oasis has 25 LEDs vs the signature edition Paperwhite with 17, which shockingly makes a massive difference and as already mentioned, Oasis still has the bigger screen. The auto-rotate feature on Oasis is also great, especially if you read in bed. Besides, at this point, the signature edition is only a tad cheaper now than the Oasis so might as well spend the extra $60 and get the higher specced kindle. The only compelling feature for me on the Signature edition is the wireless charging, but if we are talking about a device for reading, screen size and quality trumps charging, especially when its not like you need to charge kindles on the daily at all. Anything below the Signature edition is truly not worth it. The basic Kindle's measly 4 LEDs make it total crap, except maybe for children.

[@alexjoh13]

The Oasis is great! Love holding it and I use the buttons way more than the screen. Wouldn't change it for any of the other options. Would love to have a USB-C tho..

SORRY BUT you WONT get that cheap anywhere other than UK. For other countries it costs 90$ apprx. And so costly here in India about 100$.... So not a affordable product for everyone even if you are active reader and want to buy it.... Its not cheap as he says .... Do your research guys

I bought the new Kindle Paperwhite at the end of 2021 and I think it's great. The display is much larger compared to the old model and the battery lasts a really long time with my reading behavior. I also like that the new device has a USB-C port for charging.

I got the regular kindle for Christmas and I love it. The size and everything about it was perfect for me, except one thing. It is very hard to get dirt and dust out of the edges and I really hate that. But other than that, I love it!

[@andrea-kc5fr]

I also got the regular kindle for Christmas, honestly it’s one of the best gifts I’ve received. I had been wanting to read more but don’t have space for new books, and physical copies also cost more, so the kindle has been amazing for me. With not having any distractions on the device, like notifications I’d get on my phone, I find I’m much more focused on the book I’m reading. I love my kindle!

Thanks for the amazing video. Liked the short recommendation in the beginning. Do y’all recommend the one with or without the kindle unlimited?

[@KirariandMikan]

Used to love my Kindle Paperwhite 3 before it got lost 😬 ended up getting a kindle oasis instead for the ergonomic design and honestly just for the novelty of owning a nicer device and no regrets, but I feel like for first time Kindle users a Paperwhite would be the most sensible choice

Wow, do I understand correctly, the current price tag for the basic Kindle has gone from $49 to $99 in just one year? 🤦🏻‍♀️

I have both paperwhite and oasis and one thing I like about oasis is their physical buttons so I could still use it while wearing gloves

My wife was an early Kindle adopter, back in the days when it had a keyboard and text-to-speech with a built-in speaker and admittedly rather robotic pronunciation. I made fun of her for months, saying what was wrong with "real" books, why do you have to be such a techno-geek and all. Then one day when she wasn't home I picked up her Kindle for the first and pressed a few buttons... It was a life-changing experience. Before she had returned to the house I had already placed my order with Amazon for a Kindle of my own. When people ask me "Is a Kindle is as good as a paper book?", I tell them it absolutely is *not!* It is enormously better by any measurable standard.

Exactly what i was looking for. Very precise and to the point. Thanks for helping to decide quickly. Going for paper-white edition.

Still rocking my Kindle Voyage. The thing is an absolute tank. I’ve noticed some battery degradation for sure, but I don’t think it’ll be too hard to replace the battery when it gets to that point.

[@Zaimoe23]

wow, first time I ever see someone who gets to the fucking point under 1 minute. All the other channels out there make you sit and watch and hear their blah blah blah and then they get to the point.

I have the Signature. It's my favorite Kindle I've ever had. Honestly, the reason I spent the extra $$ was for wireless charging. I have a Nomad Pro Mat in my bedroom so I just lay all my items on it whenever I need to charge. No worry about cables anymore.

[@WrangleRz]

The wiress charger short the life of the battery because its keeping refreshing and charging also if its at 90% and in my opinion its pointless

[@skullfullofbooks7398]

I got the original Oasis because it has buttons, is super lightweight, I like the grip design, and had bluetooth before the others. I do wish they had infinite scroll on the kindles because I love it on the app. Nice to have the eink for long reading though.

[@Shepherd.1147]

There's no difference between the 25 LEDs (oasis) and the 16 LEDs (Paperwhite)?

Save yourself a TON of time, money and effort and just go buy a 2017 Kindle Voyage on eBay. There’s legitimately NO ereader that’s come close to image quality, size, weight, price and features since.
