Kindle Paperwhite 2022 Review - ‼️Watch BEFORE You Buy‼️

[@missrandomreads]

I'm looking to buy my first ever Kindle soon. I must be living under a rock because the concept of buying a gadget only for it to STILL have ads is crazy to me. In my head Ads are for free services only, but I guess I'm wrong. Thank you for this video. Definitely helped me decide which one to get.

[@dylancanread]

I hope you love the kindle! I totally agree, paying to remove ads on a device you already just spent $100+ on seems like a really weird up sell. BUT, if you check out my other kindle video, I have a tip that might help you get ads turned off for free! (Shameless self promotion, I know 🫣 lol)

[@bpj]

Can prob get the Kids paperwhite on prime day for cheap, Case and 2 year warrently

[@BeatPoet67]

The ad is just on the screensaver. And this isn't intrusive for me. In fact, since the algorithm that determines taste is always improving I thought there's probably a lot of books it will suggest which I'll like. As an aside - Roon (the music service), played me a Townes Van Zandt song (Tecumseh Valley) which I find staggeringly beautiful, about a week ago. I doubt I'd have ever come across it without an algorithm. Even before algorithms we always aggregated in tribes according to our taste. Which is not to say I'm not unaware about living in a bubble!

[@cristianmicu]

only usa, land of the free has ads on kindle in the whole world of countries. NOWHERE in the whole wide world you have to pay to not have ads. i find that kind of an irony. this coming on a U.S. product

Here I am still watching reviews of the 11th gen Kindle a week after I've got mine. I don't regret upgrading from the 10th gen due to the reasons: bigger screen, faster screen response, type-C cable, and the blue light filter adjust. I find it super worth and I love it so much! Thanks for the great review! PS. After finishing your review, I thought for sure you've had at least 100k subscribers. Keep it up!

@@Mish201 Yep , I ordered mine not knowling that there might be a "sale" day - but even at the price of the reader and a fast charger , once I had made up my mind that I wanted an e-reader (and read reviews that said the Kindle was the way to go), I could not wait. I am mostly a book person, but I have sort of dedicated mine to a specific genre of books and am loving having them available as I may read only a section ofeach at a time. Love my Kindle!

[@miya7917]

I don’t have an Oasis, but I have a Kobo Libra that has the same idea of page turning buttons. I know is not everyone’s thing, but the pager turning buttons actually make it easier to hold in my opinion. It gives you the space to hold on both the back and the front with one hand without the worry of encroaching on screen space. I find this is really helpful since it allows a really good grip and a mindless way of turning pages without having to move your fingers too much. I understand the Amazon ecosystem might be a big factor, but for anyone else who’s not married to the idea of a kKndle, Kobo has some great options for page-turning e readers that are just a bit more affordable. (Edit: Oh! and no ads even on base models!)

[@dylancanread]

Great thoughts!

[@kimberleedirkson7120]

Love my kobo for this reason - I look for any book on kobo first cause I prefer reading kobo, but I do have both because not all books are available on kobo

[@OtherThanIntendedPurpose]

recently my kindle paperwhite that I got in 2018 died ( I read so much, I wear out the battery . I average 4-6 books a week) with the help of a couple friends, i got the newest paperwhite. I take it with me everywhere. the original reason I got a Kindle in 2008 was a birthday gift, because I have to go 300 miles from home to the VA hospital for days, or even weeks at a time, 6-10 times a year. and was having to carry a second duffel just for paperback books. I have always gotten a cover to protect the screen. the cover I got for the new one had an elastic strap that made it easier to hold with 1 hand, and it also has a kick stand, so if I am at a table I can stand it up with out having to carry a separate book stand. this freed up space in the bags under the armrests of my wheelchair.

[@Mismatched_socks24]

I’ve been watching a million videos trying to decide what to get and your video was the most helpful! Thank you for getting right into the details!!

[@dylancanread]

Thank you, Erin! That is so kind. 😁 I’m glad you found the video useful! I hope you enjoy whichever device you choose.

[@Brunette_Rapunzel]

I absolutely love my Kindle 2021. In my opinion, its alot better than the 2018 version. I liked the bigger screen and warm lighting. It was worth the money to me to upgrade.

[@dylancanread]

Agreed! I think it’s worth the cost to upgrade! I’m glad you’re enjoying your kindle! 😁

[@MrWhaatay]

You're not supposed to hold the Oasis between your thumb and fingers. You hold it by the bump on the back and it is better balanced. It's slightly lighter. You can turn off the touchscreen because it has buttons so eliminates accidental page turns. It is a much better experience resting your thumb on the page turn button and pressing slightly than having to constantly lift and move your thumb to the touchscreen and then back to the bezel.

[@dylancanread]

That’s a great point! Thank you for sharing 😁

[@Vern-gu3um]

I've had every version of the kindle since it first came out in 2007 at $350. Have loved all the improvements made over the years, especially the light. I own both and flip between the oasis and paperwhite. My favorite version was the voyager with physical buttons on each side. It was a mid-level version between the paperwhite and oasis, no longer sold. Some people must have the newest phone, I must have the newest kindle, lol, My suggestion would be to save your money and stick with the paperwhite.

[@dylancanread]

Agreed! I think the Paperwhite is the best way to go, as of now! I’ve heard of the Voyager but have never owned one! Maybe they will bring it back one day. Thanks for watching! 😁

[@hellothere9298]

i do have a voyager too and the physical yet minimalist button on both side are fucking dope ! The only problem i have with it is the small screen size :( I would have loved for a 7inch screen size version of it

[@LeonC0704]

I had an Oasis but broke it. Now idk if I should get another Oasis (loved those buttons, but hated the charge port) or get a paperwhite

[@harlowsmama3417]

Just the regular, not the signature?

[@jbrian53]

@@dylancanread I just bought a used, like new Voyage with case on Ebay for 65 dollars delivered. My first Kindle. I wanted to see if I'd really use the device before spending twice as much on a newer larger model and keep the Voyage as a backup and pocket device. The Voyage doesn't have physical buttons per se, but rather the sides of the bezel/frame are pressure sensitive. I simply give the side of the bezel a little bit of a squeeze right where I'm already holding it and the page turns. I'm surprised current versions of the paperwhite don't have something similar. Also, the power button is high up on the back and not the bottom.

[@fleetadmiralmatteo4123]

The biggest advantage of the Kindle Oasis is the top-mounted power button. I have owned numerous Kindles, and may yet pick up the new Paperwhite, but why Amazon persists on putting the power button on the bottom is beyond my understanding. USB C is a massive upgrade, though, so that may lure me in.

[@dylancanread]

Agreed! It makes no sense at all to keep the power button on the bottom!

[@sunshinehoover4630]

I find it easy to hold my Oasis in one hand. I hold it by the side with the buttons, with my thumb on the page-turn button. Very easy. I'd hate to give up those buttons...

[@dylancanread]

The buttons are a great feature!

[@PaulBradpiece]

I bought the Paperwhite Signature edition because it is usb c and can be charged wirelessly. If I'm home, I never worry about having bluetooth off, I just put it in the dock at the end of the day. On the ultra rare occasion that I am traveling, then I'll turn bluetooth off. I love the extra storage so I can add some audio books on the device.

[@dylancanread]

I’m glad you love your Paperwhite signature edition! Thank you for watching! 😁

[@Sunny-fs3cn]

I have really small hands but I find the oasis is really easy to hold because of the bump on the back. It makes it easier to grip and read while laying on my back.

[@dylancanread]

That’s a good point!

[@muskndusk]

To flip through a kindle, tap near the top and two small boxes appear at the bottom of the screen, tap the left hand one and a pop-up appears with miniature, but readable pages which can be quickly flipped through while the main page is the one you were reading. If you find something you want to read, tap the pop-up at that page, it will expand. To return to the page you were originally reading, just touch the 'back' arrow at the top of the screen. Rather than buy the Oasis, I bought the Kobo Libra 2. To put Amazon-bought books on it, just learn how to strip the DRM then convert to epub.

[@rickyy2411]

You can swipe up from the bottom and it'll bring up a slider where you can freely move wherever in the book, though

[@dylancanread]

Great point!

[@waltbutk]

I have the Oasis and there some features I like that you may not be aware of. You hold the Oasis by the thicker side with one hand and use your thumb to hit the buttons to turn the pages. I have bigger hands so I have a problem turning the page accidently with the hand I am holding the Oasis. There is a setting that turns off the touch screen function so just the buttons work. Also the screen rotates if you switch hands to hold it with your other hand, the buttons switch too. I regularly read while eating lunch and I can turn the page with my knuckle so I don't get the screen messy. If you are holding it in your right hand the power button is on the top. I also use a cover with a magnetic latch that turns the Oasis on and off when you open and close it. I upgraded from the kindle Keyboard and I like the buttons.

[@dylancanread]

That is some really great info! I’m glad you pointed this out, and I’m glad you enjoy your Oasis! 😁

[@RossMKF1]

I recommend the kid paper white comes with a case, can be found on sale for $120, no ads, and very easy to delete the kid profile

[@dylancanread]

[@janetmaki9491]

I've decided to get a kindle and trying to decide on what kindle to buy - I found your review (out of the others I checked out) the best - to the point and more informative, thank you

[@dylancanread]

Oh wow! Thank you so much for saying that, you are very kind 😁

[@highwind1369]

I don't know. I have pretty average hands, and I palm the Oasis just fine. Now, without a case, the Oasis is much "sharper" in hand than the Paperwhite. A case mitigates that bite, though. I own both, and I prefer my Oasis at home and take the more affordable model on the go. The Paperwhite is amazing.

[@DefiningReality]

The Kindle has changed my life too. I have been able to read more books than ever before. For me, I like making the font large and turning off the option where I can see how much progress I am making in the book, like the page and location number. This lets me just get lost in the book and not get caught up in how much I am reading or trying to make more progress. Also having a larger font size helps me to stay engaged while reading because I am constantly turning from page to page. It helps me psychologically to stay engaged and enjoy the book more 🙂 Also, getting the ad free Kindle is totally worth it. I’ve had the one with ads and after spending a little extra money to get the new 2022 Ad free Paperwhite, I couldn’t ever go back.

[@dylancanread]

Completely agree! I really like your thoughts on turning off the progress percentage. I often find myself checking to see how far I’ve progressed in a book and you’re right, I think it takes away from the experience.

[@Gospelmama1940]

I bought the new Signature edition last December and have thoroughly enjoyed it. A little pricey for my first e-reader but have had no issues except learning to use it. Technology is not my forte! I do recommend the Signature.

[@dylancanread]

I’m so glad you’re enjoying your new kindle! 😁

[@Ruby508707]

Thanks for this helpful info. I’ve had my Paperwhite since 2017. Starting to have a little battery issues but still running pretty reliably. I had to buy a new charging cord. I like staying up to date on current models though so I’m ready when it’s time to upgrade. At this point I would stay with a Paperwhite. The Oasis looks clunky. A game changer for me was when I learned I could tap instead of swipe.

[@dylancanread]

I agree! Unless the next version of the Oasis is a massive upgrade, the Paperwhite definitely seems like the best way to go! Im glad your kindle is still holding up! They seem to last forever.

[@isnitkovsky]

I have used my kindle from 2014 and it still does it’s job very well.

[@themanfromoregon6047]

The voyage still has one of the best screens and has the power button on the back rather than the bottom. I have a voyage, a paperwhite 10th gen and a paperwhite 11th gen. I can use all three comfortably, but for me the 10th gen paperwhite has the worst screen, and the dark mode is better on the 11th gen. Usually I use the 11th gen as a daytime reader when I am at home and want a comfy larger screen in natural light. I use the 10th gen as a bed time reader since it has decent dark mode and is smaller and lighter which I like when i'm ready to pass out. The voyage is my travel kindle, and my favorite of the three thanks to much more even lighting, better contrast and gray scale, and the haptic buttons which I love.

[@garyasheton1699]

I just bought a paperwhite because it was smaller than the regular Kindle and it would be easier to take with me. However, some of the titles I bought are not compatible with the paperwhite. Amazon's response to me was, "Read it on one of the Kindle apps." WTF? Why isn't there some sort of disclaimer BEFORE you purchase it? It's going back to them.

[@pinklavenderlove]

I’ve discovered a pop-socket is a great work around for the awkward holding situation and the bottom power button.

[@dylancanread]

[@Ottolineification]

I have the regular paper white with the blue back, and I loooove it. I would like the bigger screen of the 2021 paper white, but it won’t fit in many of my bags, that fit the older version perfectly

I am keen on utilizing my local public system's e-book catalog. For me, having limited space on shelves at home makes this quite appealing. I will likely get some version of Kindle (no frills basic one). Would like to know what others are finding works best for them for CASES, both for protection and for maybe improving the experience while reading.

[@emcdonald75]

I love the new Paperwhite Signature Edition, but it has issues. The power button on the bottom is the biggest hardware problem. The other issue is that there are slowdowns at times. I have to tap on an ebook 2-3x before the book actually downloads. WiFi will stop working at random times. The battery life is great. I love the page turn animation and size. The last Kindle Oasis released would have been perfect if it had USB Type-C, 5GHz WiFi, rubberized back for better grip and better battery life.

[@dylancanread]

Agreed, Emmanuel! I love the Paperwhite too, but I have noticed some of the issues you mentioned (specifically the issue of having to tap "download" more than once before a book will begin to download). I am curious to see what new features the next Oasis will have and if it will be significantly better than the current Paperwhite.

[@Jesseisboredbad]

I have a really old paperwhite, I think it's a 7th generation so I'm considering getting the new one to get the new features (warm light, waterproof, dark mode and maybe no ads since mine has ads and they're useless to me since they're absolutely not targeted right 😂) but the price is still a hard pill to swallow even for 8Go of storage

I bought the Kids Edition for myself when I upgraded at Christmas time because it came with a free case and two years of damage protection. It was a Black Friday special at the time for only $114.99. Then I turned around and sold my one-year old last generation Paperwhite for $100, making it an excellent upgrade value for me. Now that is has the warm light like the Oasis, is basically the same screen size, and is in a comfortable-to-hold, not weird form factor like the Oasis, it's an unbelievable product. And yes, Brandon Sanderson is the 💣! I'm sure I'll be rereading the first four Stormlight Archive novels on my Paperwhite ahead of volume 5 dropping late next year. Can't wait!

I have a 6th Gen (ca. 2013) model and was affected by the recent 3G shutdown recently - now I'm shopping to see what's available - I really just wanted a standard Kindle with the cellular capability - maybe a little faster with a better display, and I'd be good - but that's not available! Debating whether upgrading even makes sense - I doubt I'll shell $350 for the Oasis. So are the new Kindles worth the upgrade from a 6th gen?

[@dylancanread]

Oh man! That’s hard because if you want a kindle that is cellular supported, the only option right now is the Oasis which, as you mentioned, currently goes for $350! If cellular is something that’s really important to you, maybe waiting to see if the next version of the Paperwhite will be cellular supported would be your best bet. If cellular is something you can live without, in my opinion, upgrading to the Paperwhite is completely worth it, and it’s where you’ll get the most value. I hope that’s helpful!

Yeah, I don't know who would need 32 gigs of storage for books. I have a gigantic library of ebooks on Caliber, more books than I'll ever read in three lifetimes, and it's like 5 gigs.

The book flipping needs to be thought out more. For me it makes text books near impossible to read. Or at least to truly learn from. That’s my biggest complaint with kindle. Even kindle on iPad sucks for page flipping albeit it’s better because of the speed of the tool but on the actual kindles they are way to slow to use it at all. By the time you flip to the other page and back you’ve lost your flow and need to flip even more. It’s a vicious negative feedback loop haha.

I believe the only other difference is that the signature edition comes standard wit no ads. But in my kindle tips and tricks video (shameless plug 😬), I share a tip on how you can get ads disabled for free!

[@MichaelLBowen]

@@dylancanread I guess I’ll go with the paper white and just pay the extra $20? For the ad free. I appreciate it man! I’m only going to use the kindle for novels maybe textbooks and who knows maybe comics

usb c is the main reason to upgrade for sure.

It is a really great upgrade and makes life much more convenient!

Hi I enjoyed watching this video. I am in the process of buying a kindle. I am I bit confused. can you plz help me. Am I right in understanding that they are four kindle. the basic, the paperwhite, the paperwhite signature and oasis? i am confused between paperwhite and paperwhite signature. is the paperwhite SIGNATURE of 2022 and paperwhite is 2021?

[@dylancanread]

Thank you for watching, Seema! You are correct - there are currently 4 versions of the kindle available: the kindle, Paperwhite, Paperwhite signature edition, and oasis. My understanding is that the Paperwhite and Paperwhite signature edition were both released in 2021. The differences between the two are that the signature edition comes standard with ads disabled and it comes standard with 32 gigabytes of storage while the regular Paperwhite comes with 8 gigabytes of storage. Hope that was helpful! 😁 Thanks again for watching!

I love holding a book in my hand. The last reader I had was a nook and I loved it because I could get magazines and it had color. I am looking for a new reader that I could read mags and get the internet. What do you recommend?

[@dylancanread]

Hmm… that’s tough because as far as I know, none of the big eReader manufacturers currently offer anything with color. I have heard that you can access the internet on kindle, but I have never done it personally. I have seen a few articles that have mentioned the possibility of the next kindle having a color display, but that is just a rumor at this point. It sounds like your best option may just be a tablet, as it would allow you to download the kindle app and access the internet, all while being in full color.

You didnt drown your kindle but edited that shot.

[@Deiaxy]

I read on my phone and get my ebooks from a facebook group. I wanna buy the kindle for the longer battery life and to save money (I sometimes buy physical books) and larger screen but handy. But my main concern is how can I download or get my ebooks to the kindle? Does it require it to connect to a laptop first to download?

[@victoriayeats1649]

If they’re the correct format, I believe you can plug the kindle into your computer and copy the files onto it. This is talking about an old version so I’ll have to check with my new one though!

[@seemaahmed4329]

Hi Do you know when the nw version of year 1011 coming pls

I have basic 10th Gen kindle it still works fine but a little slow and know I'm really considering upgrading to the 11 Gen kindle paperwhite.

It is kind of crazy that they display ads on a device you’ve paid for! But, in my “Kindle Tips and Tricks” video, I do offer a way to eliminate ads for free! Thanks for watching, Trent 😁

[@trenthogan4212]

@@dylancanread I found out that us Canadians don't have them, at least not yet. Apparently they're only on the home screen. I thought my reading may be interrupted by ads. If it's only offers and such on the home screen, that wouldn't be a showstopper. Thanks for the excellent review.

[@muskaanrathore511]

hey can you clarify if I can put pop socket on the back? will it damage the back with it's sticky glue when removed? it's a little heavy with the cover

[@dylancanread]

Hey Muskaan, personally I’ve never put a pop socket on my kindle because I have the same concern as you - that it will leave a sticky residue when removed. I know a lot of people do use a pop socket on their kindle though and have no problems. And I think that there are probably some good ways to remove the sticky residue once you remove the pop socket, like using lemon essential oil to remove the residue. But ultimately I think it boils down to personal preference. Hope that was helpful! Thanks for watching! 😁

Thanks for the video . May i ask if the higher end of the kindles would be faster ( scrolling, page refreshing , faster response to touch , less web surfing crashes than the the standard kindle ?I've got the standard kindle . Thanks , please let me know . 😇🥳🥳

Great question! The oasis and Paperwhite are both much faster than the kindle in all the ways you’ve mentioned. The basic kindle is a good device, but the Paperwhite or oasis would be a massive upgrade! 😁

Hi Dylan, l was lucky enough to get my first ever kindle for Christmas. It is a kindle paperwhite 11th generation. Due to low vision l need to listen to books not read. I got the audible and kindle apps. I got an audio book with my credit however l can not get it onto my kindle. Can you please tell me how to do this as l am obviously doing something wrong. Thank you for any help. I just can’t get it.

[@dylancanread]

I'm sorry you're having trouble! If your audible account and amazon accounts are linked, your audiobooks should automatically sync to your kindle library. Is it possible that your audible account and amazon/kindle accounts are using different emails?

[@ven0006]

@@dylancanread l am from Australia and l have just found out that l can not listen to any books on my kindle from audible or audio books from kindle, that is only in the USA. I can only use my kindle for books to read, but being legally blind that is not a possibility. I can only listen to the audio books on my phone or tablet which l don’t want to do. So now l have a brand new kindle paperwhite with a big memory that l can’t use. I even brought the cover and screen protector. I am so disappointed. I cancelled my audible subscription too. I now have a useless Christmas present. Thanks for your help however.

10 weeks battery on a single charge? Yeah. Right. For 2 minutes reading a day? Lol. Try reading for at least 4 hours a day, and then report back on that battery life. Please.

Haha yeah, 10 weeks is a bit ambitious. I will say, the battery on the Paperwhite is significantly better than the oasis.

you skipped the kindle paper white premium

True! I might cover the signature edition in a future video 😁
