wait, so there's a monthly subscription fee?

[@heidis2330]

I think what she means that she purchased the book so she can read it as much as she wants but there is a subscription service if you are someone that reads a high volume of books

[@bethjadeldn5505]

the smell of the books is the best thing ever

[@Mumford444]

I love my Kindle. I got it as a gift and would never have bought it for myself because I was being stubborn and traditional about books. I unexpectedly fell in love with it straight away.

[@amycameron8724]

I got a kindle for Christmas and I really thought I wouldn't like using it, but it's so handy to have, because books are really heavy! I still prefer a physical book, but I find a kindle is great too because the books are often a lot cheaper and you can get a lot of free ones too! Also Paperchase have some really nice covers! :D

[@candysomething]

+amy Cameron I got the cutest planner in Paperchase recently! Will definitely look there, thanks!

[@JennaDolphin]

I had a kindle once and I LOVED it at first but I've always gone back to normal books, I just love the way it feels to physically turn a page :) xx

[@MoonBeans]

I borrow ebooks from my local library as well on my Kindle. They also have audiobooks to borrow. You just download them, and then POOF after your time is up, it's gone. You can of course recheck them out if you are not done. All of this without even leaving the house!

+Christie McMahan (TeaPartyHissyFit) THE FUTURE IS NOW

[@Trekkifulshay]

My husband, son and I love our Kindles. We read so much it really helps. We still go into book stores and visit the library as often as we can.

[@libbyrb4147]

I read books on my ipad occasionally, but much prefer a physical copy of a book. Ebooks are always cheaper so I'm able to see if I like a book without paying $20 for it first, but if I really love a book I'll always buy the physical copy. Physical books are just so much better, but ebooks are convenient.

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

Congratulations. I'm considering buying one too.

[@NaomichatswithAngus]

My kindle really helped me get back into reading, which had almost stopped after getting a laptop and the ability to watch TV in bed. So now I read more books, both ebooks and physical books, than I did before I had a kindle :D

[@nancydan1234]

I received a Kindle a few years ago as a gift and wasn't sure I'd like it. The best part is you can download a book as soon as you want it. Also, I like to read at night in bed and find it a lot easier to hold a kindle than a large hardcover book. Not to mention you can change the size of the font to make it easier on the eyes. The part I don't like is I like to read series of books and it's hard to tell which book is next when they don't say book #1 and book #2 etc. Maybe I'm technically challenged, but the books are all in one large list and looking around for another book to read isn't that simple. I only recently discovered you can navigate to the cover of the book... A kindle is great for traveling vs packing a huge pile of books!! Not to mention those of us who buy books rather than borrowing from the library. I am no longer drowning in books on shelves, on tables, on the dresser :-) I have a carry case from my kindle I got from Amazon, just search and you'll find all kinds. I have the one that has a cover, so it protects it when traveling. It's nice to hear something positive from a true book lover like yourself.

[@MiriLikesYoutubing]

I just got a kindle a few weeks ago before I went on holiday and it was perfect for reading while sunbathing. And now I'm back it's great to have in my bag for travelling to work :)

[@MakeupChameleon]

Paperchase has some really nice kindle covers. I've got mine from there and its a lovely bookshelf print- its gorgeous!!!!

[@gemmaroberts3673]

The Luminaries is a wonderful book, I really hope you enjoy this and your other latest choices!

[@ReadwithStefani]

I use my Kindle to read the classics because they're free hehe. I got my cover from Amazon as well :)

[@stargirl7534]

i got an older version of the kindle a couple of years ago and i loved it back then but i really cant appreciate it anymore bc i will always prefer having physical copies of books no matter how cheap or handy they are to get

[@bugshelves]

I love you 😌 I've never used a kindle before, I guess I just love the smell and the feel of a hardback book 💓 The Maze Runner series is amazing! enjoy x

[@butterblumeimtopf]

I always thought that I would never get an ebook reader, because I love holding a physical copy of a book in my hands. but for years I've been struggeling with reading. depression made it almost impossible for me to concentrate on anything that's longer than a tweet. a few months ago I purchased an ereader (not kindle) and I realized that reading ebooks is so much easier for me at the moment. it actually helps that I can't really see my progress. in the past I avoided books with more than 250 pages because it felt like I could never make it through and I never did. now I can't see how thick a book is and it no longer matters if a book has 100 or 700 pages. and what helps the most, is that you can change the font to a bigger size. reading larger print is less overwhelming especially if you struggle with staying focused. I hope to get back into reading "real books" in the future, but I'm glad that after so many frustrating years of not being able to read I finally found a way that makes it possible to enjoy reading again. that's actually something I wanted to tell you in the comments of your last video, but I forgot. I guess it fits for both.

[@fizzbangwhizzpop]

This was a lovely video Candice, it was very well done :) Some people have a very negative attitude towards e-readers. I think that anything like this that gets people reading more is a good thing :) I currently use a kindle, read books that we already have at home, scout them out in charity shops and occasionally buy them new! Literature can be obtained in so many ways :).

[@jfhburr123]

I love the natural lighting in this video Candice! You're so home grown :D

[@bethanyblueberry]

I got the kindle app thing for laptons a while ago. Sarah and Jenifer Diemer have a lot of ebooks between them which I'm steadying making my way through, and so far I'm really enjoying their stuff. The Antagonist by Burgandi Rakoska is another ebook I've finished recently which I liked.

[@iamawesomesodspbs6666]

I got my Kindle 2 years ago, and I absolutely love it! I will still forever prefer reading an actual physical book, but the kindle is so incredibly convenient for travelling and that sort of thing.Tip: you can get practically all classic literature in ebook format for free (legally) on project Gutenberg as well as various other sites :)

[@bubblegumbabe21]

I found the percentage thing really difficult to come to terms with too! It's strange not knowing how large the book you're about to read is or how far in you are/when the end of the chapter is!! It comes in handy though! :) I have the kindle fire HD and it can read out loud the books for you if you're busy cooking or your eyes are sore! :) must look into that £7.99 subscription thing for Uni books! Is it a year contract do you know? Xx

[@Ct27111]

I find your thoughts interesting. Currently, one of my classes this semester is called 21st Century Literature and our aim is to read 10 ebooks in 10 weeks and observe the sufferers between reading on an e-reader versus physical books. Just a few weeks in and I've noticed pros and cons to each. It's certainly interesting, and I think I'll have a balance between ebooks and physical books.

[@georgianicolex1668]

WHEN YOU SAID YOU LIKED THE SMELL OF BOOKS I AUTOMATICALLY SUBSCRIBED!

[@rebekah-maytaylor8830]

I bought a Kindle just over a year ago when I went travelling. At first I was one of those people that hated the thought of not having the book in my hands, that it would ruin my reading experience, but I was so wrong. It has been so beneficial for me to have one, it saves me loads of money and shelf space and it's great for all of the travelling I d, especially just my commutes to and from work. Like you, I put 400 page hardbacks in my bag and at this point it's just not working for me :') So more Kindle books for me hahaha

[@bribergin8666]

I have such a personal conflict about the kindle haha. I totally get how cool it is to have any book at your fingertips in a moments notice but for me reading is one of the few times I get to completely disconnect from technology and the very plugged in world we live in. Also, seeing my bookmark more than half way through a book gives me way too much happiness and sense of accomplishment as silly as it seems! Lol constantly thinking should I give in and get one?! But honestly whatever keeps people reading makes me happy! Enjoy your kindle and happy reading :)

[@zeebrown1007]

+Bri Bergin I agree with you so much! It's so satisfying to watch as you get you closer to the end of a book, and I love holding a physical book in my hands :) But yeah I guess a kindle is alot more practical :)

[@bribergin8666]

Zarreena Brown Yeah i'm constantly torn between the fact that I can take multiple books with me anywhere at once and just the joy pleasure of holding a book. Something about holding a physical book in my hand I can't let go of! haha

[@coloritgreenbehappy]

I recently started reading ebooks via the iBooks app on my iPad mini. It's super convenient, but I definitely miss physical books.

[@chloe4609]

I never really was a kindle person but I got one for my birthday last year and I use it all the time. however, actual physical copies of books will always be my favourite

[@challengingmonkey915]

The Beginning of Everything by Robyn Schneider (it's also called Severed Heads and Broken Hearts for some weird reason) is such a good book. It's really well written and I suggest it to everyone I meet. Also, The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger made me cry buckets OH and One Day by David Nicholls

[@thekingswool]

I've had my kindle voyage for about a year now and I love it. Before I always said I couldn't imagine not buying physical books and now I can't be bothered buying them. They're so heavy and need light and you can't read them in bed while on your side and under the cover of darkness lol. Now I only buy physical books if the design is super gorgeous.

[@hannaho9471]

I have a kobo (an ereader like the kindle that's only sold in a Canadian bookstore chain) and I loved the idea at first because, it means that no paper is being used and because it's portable, but I can't get used to it. I have the same problem you have with not knowing how far I am and how close I am to the end, but the kobo also has other features besides just reading and I tend to get distracted by them. I do still really like my kobo and it's great for classics because if they're in the public domain it's really easy to get them on ereaders for free, I just don't use it as often as i should.

[@NaomichatswithAngus]

+Hannah Oudenaar We have kobos in the UK too. I think they're only sold in one bookshop chain here too. My grandad had one and decided it didn't work properly so he got a kindle instead but thought that didn't work either! I think they both probably worked fine, he just didn't know how to use them :)

[@hannaho9471]

+Naomi Watson Really? I didn't know that! My grandma could never get used to ereader a either :)

[@ballyellam3672]

Etsy has some amazing cases! Also 'behind the beautiful forevers' is an incredible book about a slum in Mumbai. I have it on my kindle and its a firm favourite.

[@HarryPotter4ever21]

I never really liked the idea of a kindle, but hearing your thoughts might change my mind!

[@taylorhuth1525]

I don't know if you can do this with your specific Kindle, but I know with the app if you press where the percentage is, it can change it to page numbers or you can make it disappear altogether!

[@graceless7718]

I got a cover on Amazon, but etsy does have some pretty nice ones too. It depends on what you are looking for.

[@ariannam7476]

I'm getting one in my school every kid is getting one I'm so excited

[@rodhernandez4134]

I got my first Kindle Basic this past December 2020 and love the thing. I had read about the Kobo, and although it seems like a very capable device, it doesn´t serve my needs here in Mexico as well as the Kindle.

[@EternalFail]

I bought my mom a kindle for her birthday and she loves it (and luckily it came with a case so she doesn't have to worry about ruining it). I'm not sure if I'd ever get one for myself just because I don't like reading off of a screen. Even when I was in school and I'd download my books I had a harder time focusing on it.

[@tinkerspell4850]

I got a really beautiful Kindle cover for $8 (American) off Amazon, but saw the same thing on ebay for around the same price. There are so many - but if you search ,like I did, or say "butterfly kindle cover" or "blue flower kindle cover" or just narrow down what sort of thing you would like, it's easier. Because the choices can be overwhelming. also - my Kindle is my life... I love physical books but I can use my kindle to borrow from the library or buy super cheap ebooks and then decide if I want to buy the physical book.

[@xxfrancesnthomasxx]

I love reading short books on my kindle but books like the luminaries, i NEED the physical motivation of flicking through how many pages are left! the maze runner second film is ok, just a bit too long i think:)

[@Kaaat408]

I was so against kindles to begin with, i thought i would miss the smell of books and turning the page etc, but its sooo handy fitting it into my bag and using it at night with the light. I haven't brought a book since! plus it's a lot cheaper :)

[@jamieburch6796]

Amazon has some really nice covers that are relatively inexpensive. I found a nice sleep/wake cover for $9.99. It does the same thing as the official Amazon cover for a fraction of the price.

[@lilithcarter]

Hi! I found kindle to be the solution of my "non permanent" residence issue. Since I live in one place for few months than have to move again and again ... it's hard to keep all the books you have, so I do buy some physical books. But I definitely rather having an e-reader so the move is easier, lighter, it saves the hassle.

[@OnaSalvatFebrero]

The Luminarieeeeees!! I was also late on that bandwagon haha I finished it some weeks ago but it is SO GOOD

[@ottoismy1dog]

Yes, the % is hard to get used to. I got a Kindle Whitepaper a couple years ago. And now about 1/3 of my reading is on my Kindle. I am not in the Prime club. there are many classic that you can get for free. and some sweet daily deals from time to time. The Lost Tribe of Coney Island is $1.99 today :) the case/cover that I have is from a UK company - klevercase :)

[@NannaLaurie]

I got a kindle 3 weeks ago. I had already been reading on tablets, but I started to get annoyed at the light, and I'd wanted one for ages. I'm really happy with it. I bought it for myself as a reward as I got to my weight loss target. (Was gonna get a new tattoo but I didn't know what I wanted to I thought a kindle would be both a cheaper and easier option)

[@manikinfear]

All the kindle cases in the stores here in Australia are like $30+! I think I got mine for about $11 off ebay.

[@SomeoneCalledDana]

I've always enjoyed my kindles, and I adore the night lighting functions for my late-night reading sessions. My biggest problem is that I accidentally leave the wifi on and it completely drains the battery.

[@chintya48]

I think ebooks are nice but I definitely prefer physical books. Ebooks are nice for their price and convenience and is a miracle for those who like to travel. Will be saving up for a Kindle now after watching this :D

[@isistf9038]

I have tried so many times to read ebooks but I just can't. The texture of the pages and the smell of books are things I can't let go of. It feels so weird reading ebooks, it doesn't feel like reading to me. I'm a very traditional person and it's very difficult to me to do these types of things.

[@pollzieboo]

I don't know about eBooks, but audiobooks -Benedict Cumberbatch reading "Casanova" by Ian Kelly is superb. Even if you're not a Cumberbatch fan, its brilliant.

[@TheRantsOfABookWorm]

I do not own a kindle, do not use them, not opposed to them though and I suggest We Were Liars by E Lockhart. Because the book is astounding, the writing style has such indulgent imagery, the author has such a good ability to keep suspense however it is rather short (just over 100 pages) and the current price of the book is around 7 pounds. So I can imagine it might be cheaper on Kindle. Happy Reading :D

[@heidis2330]

One thing I love about ereaders is that it is easier to read! I never read books for i hated carrying a book and the feel of paper now I read everyday! Ereaders changed my life! I have a Nook Glowlight Plus and a Voyage. I still have my paperwhite I keep it for just in case. Also you do not need a subscription service. You can borrow from your library or just purchase the book you want. I have many devices too! I have an iPad mini 4, Asus 8"., kindle fire 8", Samsung Nook 7" , Samsung D@ 9.7 I know so sad. i do not need them and want to sell if I can

[@tomchandler5907]

I'm split on Ebooks. At the moment I use iBooks semi-regularly for classic books and plays e.g. Jane Austen and Marlowe. I can get these for free so I find it great instead of buying the physical copies, and obviously they take up no physical bookshelf space, of which I have none. I think Ebooks are a great help for my classics, but I will always prefer physical books!!

[@charm2999]

Currently reading The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. Its so delicious I think you might really like it, the way its written is just so melodious I don't really have words for it. :)

[@sunstormsandthunderclouds]

I get asked to review books by a lot of self published authors and they always send me Ebooks so I have a kindle fire and it's literally like my child! I cracked the screen two years ago and now it has a case etc and I'm a bit protective of it.

i have never had a kindle because i end up eating my money before i can buy one but i have read ebooks and im not a big fan of them because the bright screen hurts my eyes. however i do appreciate how convenient and cheap they are compared to physical ones but at the end of the day i will always want to cuddle up to a real physical book

[@TheHannahx]

I'm saving for a kindle too! I found out last year that my attention span decreases when I'm reading articles for uni on my computer. So I figured a kindle would be better. Could you say what was the brand and the price? And do you have to buy a membership with a company like Amazon or can you just transfer your pdfs from your computer to your kindle? Thanks. xx

[@judyandthecat]

my favourite thing about my kindle is that I read without my glasses and without the lights on in my bed at any point in the night :D

[@daniellesoares5040]

I read without my glasses at night too because I feel that it kinda bothers me reading at night without any light with glasses lol

[@hannahtaylor6235]

I have a Kindle and ist so good, I can read in the dark, it's light, I can change the font and size of the writing. In every way it is better than a book.....but....nothing can replace the smell and feel of a book so I just use it to read books I can't get a physical copy of or books I'm not sure whether I want a physical copy or not. :)
