Honestly, I never thought I’d see the day! Welcome to the kindle family Shawnaci! I hadn’t heard about the diverse stuff your kindle day! That makes me super excited! I’m looking forward to seeing your kindle journey! 💜💜💜 KU works like a library: you can checkout like 15 books at a time! Unlike the library, there’s no due date to return. The kindle price for a book is the price you pay to keep the book permanently. Hope that helps! Again, welcome to the family.

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

This helps so much!! Thank you!! I love that there are so many books on here. I feel like I’m going to be reading even more now

[@boo326]

It’s actually 20 Kindle unlimited books not 15

[@nita.bonita]

Kindle got me back into reading & can’t live without it!! Also if you have a library card, you can borrow ebooks through Libby as well. This ended up being a huge money saver😭

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

Ahh I love that! Can’t wait to try out Libby!

[@WW-ob7ek]

Kindle can use Libby?

[@michbella17]

Love my kindle so much! Best tip I learned this year is that kindle does “first reads” on the first day of each month where you get to pick 1-2 books for free that release later that month. I’ve been pretty impressed with the books they offer too. I do think you have to be a prime member.

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

Omg no way!! That’s so cool!

[@kimaroo82]

Yeah! A fellow Kindle girlie! Having a Kindle is only going to heighten your reading experience - trust me 🥰😉💕

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

Ooo yay! I can’t wait!

[@mikiamonay]

You are going to be OBSESSED with your kindle! I read in all formats, but my kindle has helped me read faster for sure!! And who doesn’t want to have a huge library in their bag?! Decorate it, get a case, just have fun with it! Also, I’ve heard NOTHING of this Black Book Affair! I must be part of it!

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

I can’t wait to decorate it! I already have a case on the way and I’m so excited!!

Me too!! 🥰🥰

[@booksandbags]

Welcome to the family! I've had a Kindle of some sort since day one. I have the Scribe, PW, and Oasis. The Scribe is great for annotating and taking notes. The other two are definitely more portable. You can change the font, font size, orientation, and more. Play around-I bet you will love it!

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

I love that you have so many!! I bet you read a ton!! I love that for you

I hope so too!!

[@nic_readsbooks]

Welcome to the kindle world! I started my reading journey with a kindle. I recently started reading physical books and I enjoy reading both ways. There is a savings with having a kindle because normally wont pay the same for a book as you would a physical book. But, I do enjoy the feel of reading physical books now so I’m glad that I have the option to choose how I read, especially when I read multiple books at one time. With kindle unlimited, you borrow books, like a library and when you’re done reading the book you return it and can get another book. Hope this helps and love your videos.😊

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

Omg I love that you can borrow books! I had no idea! That’s so cool

[@chocolateoreo6489]

Aw I’m so happy for you (; you seem so happy, and as you should be (: we all deserve to gain so much happiness over books❤

[@deighz33]

Congrats on your first Kindle! I have the paperwhite and it goes with me everywhere, probably more than my phone. I was never interested in the Scribe, but your comparison of the Scribe next to physical books was very interesting. I can definitely see the appeal of the larger screen when looking at it from that perspective. Happy reading!

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

Thank you!! I love that you take your kindle with you everywhere! I feel like I’ll be the same way haha

[@NasreenBianca]

Welcome to kindle land! I still love my paperbacks but I adore my kindle! I got one in the summer and I love reading on it!

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

I love that so much! I can’t wait to look through all the books on it!

[@ReadwithLexi]

Great review! What you said about choosing this because the size mimics most sizes of most books was a different perspective. I chose the scribe for the bigger screen myself. At some point I want to journal in the notebooks on it.

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

I love how big the screen is and that it feels like an actual book. So so good!

[@Tami1579]

Welcome to the Kindle family! You will love your kindle. What I’ve been doing for the book feel experience is going to the library. It’s so space saving! Read a book and return it LOL 😂 the kindle is the best invention ever!

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

I love that so much!! Really excited that I finally have one!

[@danadane213]

U have a kindle!!! You are going to love it!!!

So excited to be a kindle girlie now!

[@lakeshas1421]

Hi! I have been watching a ton of video in anticipation of Prime Day when I plan on buying the Kindle Paperwhite. I have an Amazon Fire but wanted something smaller to slip in my smallest bag when traveling. I love how enthusiastic you are about your purchase! It literally makes me want to buy it now! I hope you do more videos on the Kindle and your reading experience.

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

I definitely will as I get more comfortable with it! I love it so far!

[@missy_naneylove3457]

Welcome to your Kindle Girlie era. I got Kindle Paperwhite 11th gen and been reading them since I got them.

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

Love that!! So glad to be part of the kindle girlie group!! 🥰🥰

[@ZetaSPEDucator]

Yay 😁🎉!!! Welcome to the Kindle Girlie community ❤❤❤. I got mine in July 🎉. Having the Kindle Paperwhite has changed my reading experience and game. I read daily because I have one. My Goodreads reading challenge has been crushed twice ❤since getting one. I enjoy my Paperwhite because I am a teacher. So I can carry my Kindle, with my iPad and MacBook in my work bookbag (which is really slim). You can also add your audible account and download your books. All you have to do it Bluetooth your AirPods to the Kindle and can listen to the audiobook plus read the text at the same time ❤❤❤. Please 🙏🏾 tell me the date.

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

Omg I had no idea! That’s so cool! Also I’m not sure the date of the book affair event but I’ll be sure to share when I do!

[@BookinItWithAhtiya]

One of the best things I love about having my Kindle is how I can take out ebooks from my local libraries and set it up so it sends it directly there! Highly recommend getting a library card if you don't have one already just for that feature.

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

I definitely will!!

[@sharonhill6184]

Congratulations on getting a kindle. I do have a paperwhite and love it, but you can’t beat a physical book. I don’t have kindle unlimited, but I have looked into it and I think it is worth it. Hope you enjoy reading on your kindle.

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

I’m so excited!! I love that this one lets you write in it too!

[@myamorenzoni]

You’ll love it but I’m glad to see you got the scribe because I have a smaller size and it’s good to see them at the reference points

@@ShawnaciSchroeder 💜💜💜

[@hivehicks]

Thanks so much for comparing its size to the real physical book! That's exactly what I was looking for. I currently have a Kindle Paperwhite but it doesn't do a very good job at resembling the feeling of reading a paper book (which I'd love to have).

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

You’ll love it! It’s the best size!

[@nicoleatheart82]

I have a kindle paper white and I love it, it works for me cause I can throw it in my purse and go. I also like it cause it’s a way for me to see if I’ll like an author I never read from without actually buying the book and if I do like them then I can buy the book by physical copy or digital because I live in an apartment it helps me save space by buy digital too so it’s great to have that option. Also, if I fall asleep reading and it falls on my face it doesn’t hurt or wake me up 😂. I hope you enjoy your kindle 😊

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

Saving space is so key! I’m excited to be able to bring lots of books with me wherever I go!

[@Mayareads_]

💗Yesss! I got my Kindle Paperwhite last month and I am absolutely OBESSED! I have so many physical books on my TBR that I literally had to force myself to come back to the physical world. Haha! In that short period of time (September) it felt weird and uncomfortable holding a physical book to start my October TBR. Stuff your kindle day is sooo much fun I think I ended up with alittle over 40 books ( I like to read the summaries before deciding to download books so I know I’d actually read them) When is the next Stuff Your Kindle Day?

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

Omg 40 books?! That’s amazing! I think someone in the comments said that the next stuff your kindle day is in December!

[@ivystrong7203]

I have a Paperwhite and the Kindle app on my phone and tablet. I still love physical books, but I can get more reading done with a Kindle. I'm also a retiree who downsized, so I have less space. KU has improved vastly since the early years and it's worth the money.

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

I love that you’ve added the kindle app to your phone! That’s so smart!

[@kizzymarlene]

Ive been a kindle user since 2017 and never knew about stuff your kindle day. Wow!

[@DoubleA-ou7pj]

Yeah, I think different websites do them. They just had one for romance books. I think that site has one today or soon for YA romance books. I think it’s called romancebookworms or something

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

I just learned about it this year and I thought it was such a cool concept!

[@kizzymarlene]

​@DoubleA-ou7pj thanks for the info😊

[@BookishIntrovert63]

Welcome to the Kindle side!! Nothing beats a book, but an ereader is a close second. I have the Paperwhite because I like to carry it in my purse. I sometimes carry 2 books in my tote (I’m a habitual mood reader) so my book tote bag can become heavy or for night time reading when a book can be too hard to hold as I fall asleep…lol!!! FYI, the Stuff Your Kindle will happen again on December 27. I think it’s done 4th a year. However there isn’t one specifically for African American books. The SYK have various categories to choose from and Black and BIPOC is one of their categories listed.

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

Thanks for sharing the stuff your kindle day date!! This is so helpful!! & the Black Book Affair is new and it’ll be done for the first time this year I think. I’m really excited for both! I stuff my tote back so full with books because I’m a mood reader too so I’m excited to carry my kindle around instead haha

Libby and KU (kindle unlimited) are my besties. I don’t reread books so I don’t want to buy any kindle/ebooks since I can’t have them physically up for display so Libby and KU have been such a money saver!

I’m so glad I can get books on KU now!

@@ShawnaciSchroeder it’s especially nice when you end up dnf a book you don’t like as it doesn’t seem as bad since you never had to spend any actual money on it.

[@user-ld3sx1ng5g]

So the read now option is in reference to the kindle unlimited. You can have a 20 that are “borrowed” at a time the 2.99 means you can buy the ebook and keep it forever versus borrowing from the KU library. You can always swap them out. Also if you have a library that lets you connect to your kindle account they’re are ebooks you can borrow and send to your kindle to read also. Welcome to the kindle fam ☺️

I'm over here giggling. Yes most of the books on your shelves are on KU. Now you can read for free and if the book is worth purchasing in print....then that works.

[@Essie_K]

Congrats to your first kindle 😊 I also always thought I would never buy one. But honestly...I am a single mom. My son is 1 year old and it is so hard to keep up with my reading. The only time I can read is at night when he is asleep and it is just so convenient to have the integrated light so you don't wake up the kid and you also don't need to put a little lamp on a physical book, which I always hated for some reason because it makes a book even heavier. Besides...sometimes my kid sleeps in the daytime but he ONLY falls asleep on my arm. So I only have one hand free to hold a book and then I can't flip the pages 😅 so my kindle was a game changer for me. It will take a while to get back to normal books. Probably when the kid is a little older but even then...I will always go back to the kindle because I just love that it is so lightweight. Especially helpful when it comes to a big book like Binding 13 😊 Have fun with it❤

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

That makes a lot of sense! I never thought about it like that, but I can imagine having a kindle makes reading so much more accessible as a mom!
