My old 2013 Paperwhite started to slow down dramatically so instead of resetting the whole thing I decided it was time to upgrade. But now, it’s not as easy to choose as it once was! So I started looking at videos to research ....but after seeing several....I still could not decide. Then I ran into the Master. Should have known! Nobody - absolutely NOBODY -covers The Kindle better, and I could have saved time searching for “Len” instead of “ kindle reviews”. Ordered the new Paperwhite yesterday. Thanks Len - brilliant job as always!

I have been using a kindle for about 11 years, and I agree, I always have a case, to protect the screen when I have the kindle in my wheelchair bag. I don't got anywhere with out my kindle. I used to have to carry multiple paper books, especially when going to the VA hospital, that was usually a 3-5 day stay. I tend to read about a novel a day under usual circumstances. when I am stuck in the hospital I can read closer to 8-10 books a week, as there is absolutely nothing else to distract my mind. my current kindle died after 6 years of hard use, so I just ordered a new paperwhite.

This is my friend's second Kindle. kzbin.infoUgkxOnUR4NaproSbBbD2sdI4XcDZ58Jz8GOx The first one which is about 5 or 6 years old quit charging because the bottom connector went bad. When I saw they upgraded to a USB C connector I knew it was time. I think the old USB Micro connectors are a PIA. Her new one is great. It synced right out of the box and connected to WiFi immediately. The thing is perfect! Sooo mine will arrive tomorrow. (Been reading off an old Fire) What bugs me are the reviewers that give this product one star because it didn't work out of the box or they were too dumb to figure it out. If it doesn't work send it back and get another one. It couldn't be easier with Amazon. Giving it one star because it didn't work says nothing about a good one that does work. I bet a bad one is one in a thousand or more. Give it a break...just get another one.

I use Calibre to organize my library on my PC and sync with my Oasis. In case someone doesn't know you can download your purchased amazon kindle books by going to the amazon website and navigate to Manage Device Content.

I am actually regressing to the previous basic Kindle after having the Kindle Paperwhite and the Kindle Voyage. I know that they say that the front light isn't as harsh on the eyes as a back light, but I still get watery and burning eyes when I read them. You are not able to turn the front light off completely. I have always turned them down to the lowest level, where the light icon disappears (grays out), however when you turn out the lights, you can see the blue glow coming from them. I also have to recharge my Kindles every week, which I remember only having to do no more than once a month or so on my Kindle Keyboard years ago, even with the Wi-Fi turned off (basically, Airplane mode). I found where they still had some basic Kindle 8th generations available on Amazon, which I believe is the last generation without the front light. I ordered one to see if that proves my theory about the poor battery life of the more modern Kindles, which, if that is the case, the higher dollar Kindles will be left in the car and at work for when I find myself with some down time at Lunch and in need of something to read - with strategically placed chargers, of course. As far as the number of pixels is concerned, if I was able to read regular sized print, I would continue with printed books, but I need the ability to enlarge the text, which works great on Kindle. Once the text is of a certain size, the crispness is a moot point. I have loved my Kindles for 20 years, but I'm concerned that the quality is going to suffer in order to keep up with the latest gadgets. Just my opinion based on my own experience and use of the device.

I'm a wide and avid reader and I'm very appreciative of e-reader gadgets. I prefer the Paperwhite version. I have it with me most of the time specially when I go out on a trip, etc.. For pure reading enjoyment of novels, short stories, etc. it's the nearest thing to a paperback. It's light and has no distractions like web browsing, music, photos, videos, etc. like in iPads and the likes. I read on my light Kindle Paperwhite during dull moments like when waiting for the bus or your wife to finish her groceries or shopping, etc. With my Kindle Paperwhite on a week cruise, I never missed my ultrabook my wife commandeered skyping to our grandkids. I think I only charged the gadget once for the entire voyage.

It was a pleasure to listen to you, Len. I enjoyed your well thought out comparison of Kindles with the bonus material about their competitors. I feel the same way you do about page turning buttons, a feature I miss from my old Sony reader. However, my hands are so small I think the larger width would take away some of the pleasure of reading with one hand. I inadvertently discovered that by looking at your hands holding the Kindles. Thank you for this comprehensive review, from a new subscriber.

Hi Len. I enjoyed your video overview of the Kindle e-readers. I have a 5.5 inch android phone with the Kindle reading app for reading e-books or listening to audio books when on the run. For long form e-reading I have my Kindle Paperwhite 4. It is also great with e-books and audio books. It is also the easiest on my eyes because of the e-ink screen. For immersion reading when I want to read and listen to a book at the same time I go with my Amazon Fire HD 10". I find it sharper than the Amazon Fire 8". I especially enjoy immersion reading for non fiction history books.

Not a fan of the Oasis. I did all my reading on a Kobo Aura One, but I got an incredible deal on a Paperwhite 3 and I ended up loving it. I liked the Paperwhite so much that I bought an Oasis and it just isn't comfortable. The aluminum is cold and slippery, and it feels awkward no matter how I hold it. The weird shape prevents it from fitting in any of my pockets. Heck, my Aura One fits and it has a 7.8" screen!

I think the Kindle paperwhite signature edition would otherwise be the choice for me, but none of the Kindle devices support immersion reading (listening to an audiobook while reading at the same time). I think that is very disappointing, especially considering how well immersion reading works in the Kindle app. I hope they will one day fix that. It is especially useful when reading in a language that is not your native language (which is what I would be using it for) or if you otherwise struggle to concentrate. I am now instead probably getting an onyx boox device. Those are basically Android tablets with an eink display. Many of them also support a pen similar to the reMarkable you showed, but since it is an Android device, I can get the Kindle app on it as well. It is kind of like a compromise between a Kindle and a reMarkable. It’s not waterproof like the Kindle paperwhite would have been, though.
