Meet The Kindles! Comparing the 2024 Kindle Lineup

My kindle is ancient. Got it in 2013 and i still use it. No touch screen. Buttons on each side for turning pages, buttons on the bottom for everything else

[@Mike_Jerry]

Before I saw this there was no way I was going to buy an Oasis. You completely changed my mind. You reminded me of how the kinesthetic enjoyment of holding a book or device is almost as important as the enjoyment of the reading itself. Unfortunately, I saw this video in late March when the Oases were gone. I was crushed. I flailed around a bit trying to decide what to buy and finally settled on a PW SE. The very next day Amazon put a batch of certified refurb Oases up for sale. I quickly cancelled the PW and ordered the 8Gig ad-supported Oasis that I really wanted! I have been reading on it for the last 10 days or so and couldn't be happier with the Oasis. Your video was definitely spot on for me. Liked and sub'd. Thank you!

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Awesome! I'm so glad you found one!

[@Mike_Jerry]

I'm feeling like a very lucky guy. Just wish that I could have used one of your affiliate links to purchase it. Next I will get a Moko sleeve. Thanks for that recommendation too!

[@EACru2002]

For me, it was the physical buttons that were the deal maker. I think for me especially as a left handed person, swiping right to advance pages is a little awkward with your left hand. The Oasis solves that problem with good old fashioned physical buttons that feel natural to use whether right or left handed.

[@lunarbutterfly7]

I had an Oasis but as a huge manga reader I ended up trading it in for a 64GB scribe. I ADORE IT. It has some premium features like the Oasis like the autoflip and has the solid metal casing.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Yes! That is an excellent use case for a Scribe! Glad to hear you're enjoying it!

[@markfrantz4612]

I was thinking about getting a kindle for Manga. Do they sell manga e books??

[@onemanbookclub2585]

They do, but as Kindle eReaders are not yet available in color and as it can be clunky to navigate through pictures and small words, I don't recommend an ereader for Manga.

Whatever you earn you deserve more because that was an excellent review and from what I'm seeing, a lot of people are purchasing because of you're excellent reviews.

[@ongjanette]

May I ask what made you decide on the basic Kindle rather than the Paperwhite? :)

[@virgocandrive]

​@@ongjanette​of course! I was already looking for something smaller and cheaper. The only difference between them is basically the water resistance and the size, and those things didn't matter to me at the time, so it was not worth paying more for the paperwhite only to have those 2 features. I have the basic one for over 5 months now and I love it! I read for hours every single day and I only charge it every 15 days or less, also the kindle is so small that fits every single purse that I have so I can carry with me everywhere I go. I also use it for work uploading documents that I'll need to read and check while working.

[@JenniferJforJesus]

Kindle needs to add immersion reading to their dedicated Kindle devices, to allow listening to the audiobook while simultaneously reading the ebook. I can’t understand why this isn’t available on the dedicated hardware yet it’s available in the app on phones and tablets. It’s my biggest complaint about Kindles, and the reason I hardly ever use mine.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

It would be cool! I wonder if it's an operating system problem? Seems like something they could figure out though, for sure.

[@kathymccracken757]

100% agree. I had a fire previously and used this feature alot. Just got paperwhite and hate it

[@onemanbookclub2585]

I use it on my phone

[@Zombieboxx1]

It is probably due to the screen uses e-ink of some sort and has to refresh the orientation for each adjustment of imaging.

[@Zombieboxx1]

If the screen had a duel screen it could probably highlight with a second screen over the primary screen.

[@JoAnnRossBooks]

Thank you for taking the time to describe and demonstrate all these! I began with whatever year they first came out (even before Oprah discovered them) and am on my 7th now, a Paperwhite that’s begun freezing more frequently. I was about sold on a new paperwhite, but I think you sold me on the Oasis because I’ve so missed buttons to turn the page. And holding in one hand you can enjoy a beverage while reading.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Sadly the Oasis is no longer available! I suspect they'll be introducing a new model this year or next...maybe a color Kindle? But for now an updated Paperwhite is your best bet.

The single best thing I have bought for my 2018 paperwhite is a tablet holder that grabs the headboard. I fall asleep reading, my Kindle goes to sleep, and it's right where I left it in the morning. No kindle falling on my face when I fall asleep, I don't even have to hold it. I just bump the right side of the screen with a finger, or honestly sometimes my nose lol

Been searching for a side by side comparison of the screen lighting of the different Kindles! Thanks for this. I use an Oasis (and love it) but preparing for its eventual phase out. I hope I am wrong, but there hasn’t been any real news about it being upgraded. I’m partial to its asymmetrical shape and buttons… but if I have to choose another replacement, I’ll was hoping for a non-flush screen one like the Basic but the difference in the number of LEDs between the Oasis and the Basic will probably be too noticeable to me. But there’s something about a non-flush screen - I remember my first one, the Kindle Keyboard! Wonderful device :) completely sold me on ereading.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Ahhh, the Kindle Keyboard! Changed my life! Yes, I have those fears for the Oasis too, but I've had them for a while now. My thought is: Why haven't they phased it out yet? So I'm a bit hopeful they won't. Not sure what they're waiting on... Phase it out or update it. Just do something!!

[@knutblaise9437]

I have 2mm crack on my 2016 Paperwhite screen due to dropping an eye glasses case about a foot above the Kindle. It doesn't have the flush glass screen over the eINK display. When this happened the Kindle was in a neoprene case. For the basic Kindle I'd suggest a hard cover. For your Oasis cover I'd check the Dollar Tree for a thin cutting film you could cut to size to fit in what looks like an outer pocket. If the Oasis display is facing the plastic sheet but not in contact with it in the outer pocket you might have more protection if something like keys or a cell phone was dropped on the display.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Ooo that stinks! I've never felt the need for screen protectors... In 12 years of owning them I've never had a problem. But now that I said that I'm probably going to break it today! 😂

With due respect, it's not a waste of money to have the extra storage on the paperwhite. In my case, I have a 16GB paperwhite, and it's almost full.

I’m thinking about buying a kindle so I have an easy way to read books when I am in bed with a newborn. I’m trying to decide between the Paperwhite and Oasis. Which is best for one-handed use? I’m thinking having the page turn buttons would be easier than having to move my hand from left to right to turn pages, but how frequently will I actually be turning backwards? Any commenters have an opinion on which device is best for nursing mothers? Also, how is the screen responsiveness? All of them look pretty laggy in all the videos I watched. Any first hand accounts to share?

[@ongjanette]

I think the creator mentioned in the comments that the Oasis is unavailable right now and hadn't been updated for a while. If I were you I'd want the most lightweight wch is the basic. Or Paperwhite if you don't mind a holding something bit heavier but with a much brighter screen. If you've been used to the 120hz scrolling or promotion, Kindles would seem laggy, but I don't mind especially as it doesn't tire my eyes as much and I can control font size. You don't need to swipe with the basic Kindle, just tap a bit to the right going forward, or a bit to the left going backwards. I have an old 2011 basic model though, but I doubt they would regress the functions with the newer ones. So I mean you can read with 1 hand on even the basic or Paperwhite even without buttons.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

@ongjanette is right, sadly. The Oasis is no longer available, although there have been referbs available on Amazon occasionally. If you can get your hands on an Oasis, I recommend the Paperwhite!

Maybe it's because I grew up as a kid with digital devices like iPhone/iPad but the Kindle Paperwhite makes reading so much easier for me and feels more natural than a real paper book. I like both but find myself having to reread the same sentences to comprehend with a physical book as where that doesn't happen on my kindle. Was born in late 90's maybe I'm messed up in the head. Kindle solved my reading problems though + ability to hold down on words I don't know for quick dictionary meanings.

You should be careful, the books are not saved permanently, you dont really own the books, Amazon can remove them if they lose the rights for it, or some other reason you should save the books on your pc, external ssd or some other option, if you really want to keep something.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

This is true, and it's a risk. I hope it never happens--it seems so hard to imagine!

[@redshed2020]

​@onemanbookclub2585 it's happened to me with Amazon video.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

😔

[@Polyvinci]

That is why I remove the DRM from the Books that I purchase and back them up on Hard Drives. Don't depend on the Cloud. I also buy physical Media such as DVDs and CDs, rip them, and then back up those Files and use the physical Media as another backup. I'll buy digital Media as well (obviously you have to buy the Books digitally, but I also buy physical books if an eBook version isn't available), but only for convenience.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

@Polyvinci smart!

[@times7171]

I have been team Oasis and love the device. The scibe does interest me, though i think it's due to it's size.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Great to meet a fellow Oasis fan! The Scribe is very good, particularly for it's notebook functionality. I wouldn't like it as a dedicated eReader though, it's too heavy for how I would read on it.

[@rachel_espinoza]

Great video! Right now I have a kobo but I’m really thinking about making the switch to a kindle. This has been really helpful

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Awesome! I'm so glad it was helpful!

[@southern_librarian]

Christmas 2010 was when I got my first e-reader (B&N Nook) and The Hunger Games was the first series I read on an e-reader (got them all for $5/ea). Best present my dad ever got me. Stuck with Nook until Christmas 2017, finally made the switch to Kindle, and it's my most prized posession. I am looking forward to the day I can get a Scribe.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Our stories are almost the same!!! ❤️

[@onemanbookclub2585]

You're welcome!

[@Talon5Karrde]

@14:43 - Two points. 1) At some point we have to assume that either Amazon or Kindle will go away. Having you entire Kindle downloaded onto an offline device could be a good thing. 2) I assume by Audio Book you are just referring to Audible. Not having a Kindle, I am assuming that your phone/watch Audible App will be more convenient. You are probably going to be carrying you phone anyway and a Kindle would be big for something I am not using to read...

[@onemanbookclub2585]

All good points!

[@Diminish12]

One thing that i didnt see mentioned was Night mode options. The Paperwhite seemed warmer then all of them while Basic seemed more white. Do they have all have options to warm up the screen at night or just dimming options?

[@onemanbookclub2585]

The basic does not have an adjustable warm light, but the other models do.

[@Datrebor]

I still have my Keyboard too and an older paperwhite with the micro usb. I love my Kindle.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Glad to hear from another fan! ❤️

[@EJA28]

Thank you so much for this in-depth review and analysis! Very helpful for my upcoming Kindle purchase :)

[@onemanbookclub2585]

You're welcome! I hope you'll use my link!

[@kimgardenhirekg]

I have oasis and love it . I hope they upgrade it at some point

[@onemanbookclub2585]

So do I!

[@dwightjones3305]

I replaced the battery in an old Kindle and got some more use from it. You could try that on your Kindle Keyboard.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

It doesn't have a replaceable battery! 😢

[@dwightjones3305]

@@onemanbookclub2585 Neither did my Kindle Voyage. You have to open it up to replace the “non-replaceable” battery. It’s been a while and I don’t remember the exact process, but it can be done.

[@ginger2770]

​@@onemanbookclub2585anything has a replaceable battery with some tools

[@dirusnightwolf]

Hey thank you for the videos. You can change the battery on your old kindle. I have one from that year, and was still able to purchase the battery last year. It's real easy to do, you can KZbin it. I still have my white kindle from. 2008, I'll never get rid of it. :)

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Wow, cool! I never owned one of those!

[@AlexSedevie]

Thank you for this comparison! I love my Oasis, but it’s too heavy for me after about 30m. I was hoping the newer Paperwhite was lighter, since it now has warm tinting. I guess that warm light apparatus just makes everything heavier.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Not lighter, unfortunately. But all kindles are lighter than printed books!

[@Canicolalm1]

Wow, great video! i have a paperwhite, got it 5 years ago, and I had to chuckle everytime you said things like "I love it", "it was life changing", because it happened the same to me. But not everyone understands the passion this device awakes! Hahaha But by the way, I think another important feature is the warm light option 😊 Thanks for your video, I am going to get an oasis as soon as possible. I had doubts but not anymore 😄🙌

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Right on!

[@dinaweim7180]

Thank you! You have helped me make my decision! I will be buying the Oaisis🎉

[@onemanbookclub2585]

If you're in the US you unfortunately won't be able to. Amazon has discontinued the model, hopefully in favor of something awesome in 2025. 😔

[@ptannous27]

Great video. Have you tried kobo at all? I’d be pretty interested in seeing your take on the Libra Colour.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

I haven't!

[@octo448]

The only thing that would have made this video better would be a sticky note above each one with the model labeled. I am watching this because I am not familiar with the models yet, so as you compare and contrast, it would be nice to know at a glance which one "this one" that you're talking about is. You could also do this in post in your video editing program if that is easier or if that aesthetic suits you better. Otherwise, this was very useful. Unfortunately, the Oasis seems to not be offered anymore. D:

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Great ideas! Yes, sadly the Oasis is discontinued in the US. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 for something cool to replace it next year!

[@Musicteachersheff]

You can actually have the page read out loud on a kindle device hooked up to Bluetooth sound device. It’s not as good as a professional audio book but it is possible.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Yes! You are absolutely right. This isn't a feature I call out very much because it's honestly quite complicated to get it to work. But I should call it out for folks who would like to know about it, so stay tuned for a new video on this topic soon!

[@nilspure]

Thank you! Super useful video for a Kindle beginner.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ri6166]

This video helped me decide which model I should buy. I decided to buy the basic model and wait for the new model of Oasis. Thank you from Japan🙌

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Wonderful! Best of luck!

[@isabel109]

So kindles have audio?? I always thought they were specifically for ebook not audiobooks!

[@onemanbookclub2585]

They don't have their own speakers, but they do connect to one via Bluetooth.

[@almaboneconstable2539]

Thank you for this review! I just bought a scribe. I love for writing. I listen mostly audiobooks for fiction. Scribe doesn't do audible well. My actual reading is mostly technical with charts. I was thinking about getting an Oasis in addition. Question if reviewing today (7 months later) would you still buy an Oasis or would you wait till 2025 for the color one? Also does current Oasis do audible well? Thank you subscribed today!

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Glad you're enjoying it! All the Kindle eReaders operate on the same software platform. So if you don't like how audible works on the Scibe, you won't like it on any Kindle eReader. I would absolutely buy an Oasis again...it's still my favorite by a large margin. Unfortunately, Amazon has discontinued the Oasis. You can occasionally still find one as a referb, though. I'm not sure what the Color Kindle will be when it comes out, so it's impossible to say at this point which I'd prefer. All I know is that I love my Oasis! Additionally, I'll say that I prefer using the free Kindle App on my phone for Audible Audiobooks. Immersion Reading is a really cool feature that, IMO, is tragically underutilized.

[@latoyablackmon3587]

Awesome and thorough reviews. Thank you! I believe I'm going with the paperwhite

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Awesome! Happy reading!

[@Cash1797]

Great video! In the market for a Kindle cause I too don’t have the space for bookshelves anymore lol. Did the Kindle Oasis get discontinued? Can’t find it on Amazon through the link.😭

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Sadly, yes. If you can, I'd hold off just a few more weeks as Amazon seems rl be on the verge of making some new Kindle announcements. If you don't want to wait, the Paperwhite will be your best bet.

[@Beery1962]

The difference in the lights would have been more apparent if you had turned the lights down rather than up. As it is, the light just overloads the camera and we can't see any difference.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Good idea! I'll consider that next time.

[@arlenepadden1243]

Great information! You helped me make my choice.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Wonderful, I'm so glad!

[@gghostrrider]

My 1st kindle was the kindle keyboard! It had a speaker and could read to you in a robot voice. Remember how they hyped the 1st paperwhite? I had to have it, the newest paperwhite is just not friendly to hold in either hand, and I frequently swipe too many pages and lose my place. I think older software allowed you adjust sensitivity to adjust for this. My favorite way to use the new paperwhite is with a case that stands on a table. It’s battery life and slim Denmark it a great travel companion Ergonomically and build quality the Oasis is unmatched. My scribe is basically a dust collector, I’m going to use it for personal study at some point.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Sounds like you've been a long time Kindle fan too! Glad to meet another Oasis believer as well. Best of luck to you!

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Thanks so much!

[@ashleecraythorn4650]

Great video! Just one thing I wanted to mention.. you said the Scribe is waterproof and I don’t think that’s true. Wouldn’t want people taking it into the bath and regretting it. 😊

[@onemanbookclub2585]

You are correct! I misspoke.

[@rufdymond]

Great video….i opted for the signature edition only because I also have a library of audio books.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Awesome!

[@taserrr]

Tried the e-reader, personally wasn't a fan, I much more prefer a book. That being said, I have to strongly disagree with you stating it's cheaper, in my opinion, e-reader is more expensive if you go the legal route. I don't understand the pricing point of ebooks. How come an ebook is 8 euros and the same book in actual paper is 10 euros? I can't justify the price, even 5 bucks would be far too high. Hell, I've seen ebooks that are the same price as actual books! The physical book has value, I actually own it, I can resell it, I can purchase it new for 10 bucks and when I'm done sell for 5, an ebook you cannot sell, it's 8 bucks down the drain. And then there's the price of the e-reader itself, budget options are 100 bucks, so really you're paying a lot more the legal route. Things do change of course if you get your files through other means.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

I wait for ebooks to go on sale... I rarely purchase one for more than $1.99. eReading isn't for everyone--traditional printed books remain by far the most popular format!

[@taserrr]

Oh, which website do you get those sales from? Because that's a pretty big discount. Are physical books still the preferred option? Because I know mass market paperbacks are sold less often.@@onemanbookclub2585

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Amazon! Check out their Kindle Daily Deals pages, subscribe to their Kindle Daily Deals daily emails, and search online for other services that scrub Amazon for Kindle ebook deals that will send you emails. Bookbub is and example of this. There's even a service where you can choose the books you want to track, then they'll email you when the ebook you want hits the price you're willing to pay for it. It's called ereaderiq. Good luck!

[@danadane213]

I do kindle unlimited. And I definitely save more money than buying actual books!! $12 a month and I read as much as I want. I would spend more than that on 1 book

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Yes, great point!

[@Johannes1694]

I don’t know if Amazon did the same everywhere but in Germany they discontinued the 8gb version of the Paperwhite. It starts with 16 for the price of the 8gb.

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Good to know, thank you!

[@mlfamily4]

Thank you for the side by side review! Very helpful. 👍🏼

[@onemanbookclub2585]

No problem!

[@Thundernoob98]

The only thing I worry about the scribe I’m worried about is the lights in the room seem to create a glare

[@onemanbookclub2585]

It's a non reflective screen, but it's still a screen. So direct light will bounce back...BUT it's extremely mild and never distracting. And remember, too, don't think of it like a computer or tablet screen. Direct light doesn't make it harder to read at all. I promise, not a concern.

[@sj6188]

I LOVE my Oasis! Before that I had the Voyage and I loved that one too!

[@onemanbookclub2585]

Great to meet another fan!

[@vidushisrivastav5879]

Hello. I love my voyage. Unfortunately its about to die. I was thinking of getting an Oasis. Just wanted to know what your experience was like? Also, in your opinion should I get an oasis or wait for amazon to launch a new device? Looking forward to your reply :)

[@onemanbookclub2585]

The Oasis remains my favorite device my a large margin. Unfortunately, Amazon discontinued it in the US a few months ago. I believe it's still available outside the US, however. And you can still occasionally find a referb on Amazon too. I expect Amazon will introduce a new color ereader device in 2025, but I don't know anything about it yet to compare it to the Oasis.
