Set Up My Kindle With Me + Purchasing and Designing Tips

[@MegBookishRamblings]

I gave into the hype of having a clear case for my Kindle and was able to find one with little grips on the side. I do use a popsocket though will probably switch to a Mag Safe one because those are able to be changed out and hold better. With Kindle Unlimited, it can be confusing there is usually an icon that says it's Kindle Unlimited. Sometimes a whole series is available on KU and sometimes it's just a sporadic amount. You're able to borrow up to 20 at a time and some of them do have the option to listen for free.

Thank you for clarifying that! I didn't realize KU was so finicky!

[@MegBookishRamblings]

@@stateofbind You're welcome! Also some titles will sometimes be taken off KU after being on for a while.

[@readingequalshappiness]

This is correct and helpful

I love my kindle! The older I get, I find the kindle is so much easier on my eyes. I do miss physical books, but I do read more now with the kindle because of the less strain on my eyes. I found so many new authors because of kindle unlimited. I hope you enjoy it as well.

[@stateofbind]

Thank you so much! It truly is a game changer! Are there any KU books/authors in particular that you'd recommend?

[@giddingsa75]

If you like mystery/crime thrillers I love the Austin Thomas series by D. D. Black. There are 7 books in the series and the 8th is to be released soon. They take place in the pacific north west. Also I really enjoyed the Echo of Old Books by Barbara Davis.

[@stateofbind]

@@giddingsa75 I don't typically read thrillers, but that series looks really interesting. I can definitely say that the Echo of Old Books sounds like my kind of book! Thank you so much for the recommendations!

I absolutely love my Kindle Paperwhite I got mine in the agave green and I absolutely love it. I'm definitely a kindle girl 🙂

[@mirandabananas]

Girl I've BEEN thinking about a Kindle Paperwhite for a HOT minute... this may be my sign to get one!

[@stateofbind]

Hey Miranda! You will NOT regret it! It has helped me read so much faster!

[@DonnaMiller]

You need to check out Freida McFadden. She is a great author. I'm reading one by one and its excellent. The inmate is also excellent. Eyeshot by Taylor Adams is also a good read.

[@stateofbind]

Hi Donna! Thank you for the recommendations. I have The Housemaid on my bookshelf...I may have to move it up on my TBR!

[@kirbrary]

hi! i think it looks weird in the corners because the clear case adds to it. i have seen people only use the strapsicle because in case of a drop, the corners and protected and so are the fronts and sides unless on uneven ground. hope this helped even a little :')

[@stateofbind]

Hi! This definitely helps. Thank you!

[@souffoue]

Great video. I just ordered a kindle and super excited. Do you have a link for the glitter case?

[@stateofbind]

Thank you so much! You are going to love it! Here's the link for the glitter kindle paperwhite case: rb.gy/89irbc

[@lynnconroy8]

Hi! To make the stickers look more “unplanned”, tilt them, overlap a bit etc.

[@stateofbind]

Thanks for the tip!

[@hannahk_reads]

i love your stickers!

[@stateofbind]

Thank you so much!

[@MarylandLUV]

Love the earrings 😊

[@stateofbind]

Aww! Thank you so much!

[@Queenmom313]

My understanding is that you can download a font to your computer, plug your Kindle into the computer (shows up like an external hard drive), and then move the font over from your computer to your Kindle.

[@stateofbind]

Oh I didn't know about that. Thanks for the info!

[@lisaseymour7541]

Love the stickers! Where did you order them?

[@stateofbind]

Hi Lisa! I got mine from Amazon. Here's the link: rb.gy/d5aa90

[@pamloanzon3668]

What have you read in your Kindle? :) hope you can make reco ebooks for Kindle.

[@charmie_ranodya]

I just ordered mine. Unfortunately, KU isn't available in Sri Lanka. It looks like I'll have to move countries just to get KU 💀

[@TkTkayy]

I've never seen the strapsicle on with the case before. Maybe that's why it feels weird

[@stateofbind]

Good point! I've gotten used to it, but it still fits a little weird. Maybe I'll try it without the case sometime.

[@amandawillems6921]

Strap cycles are not meant to go on a case just the kindle itself

[@stateofbind]

Thanks for the tip!

[@readingequalshappiness]

If it doesn't say under the book kindle unlimited then it's not on kindle unlimited.

[@ChampagneandWaffles]

You: “So that is it at the moment.” Me: *looking at the 8 and a half minutes left on this video* “I don’t think that’s really it 😂”

[@myunkitae]

Amazon removes the ads for free if you email them about the ads

[@stateofbind]

Hi! Good to know. I didn't know that you could do that, so I just spent extra money to get it ad free! I will definitely keep this in mind. Thanks!

[@mndprcvl]

This didn’t work for me. Tried a couple of times and they were insistent that they are unable to do that even though clearly they are. I ended up biting the bullet and paying. It’s my perception they are cracking down on this now.

[@18spy82]

you can literally add your own font to kindle...

[@stateofbind]

I will have to try that out!

[@lonniecruse5633]

Use a butterfly!

[@stateofbind]

I'll add that in next time. Thanks Lonnie!
