I've been going back and forth about wanting a kindle. This video definitely sold me. As much as I love paperback (and would never completely abandon it), you gotta admit it's kind of a hassle having your phone nearby just to look up words or grabbing a pen/highlighter to remember your favorite parts. If it's for convenience, then definitely go for the ereader. But for sentimental souls out there, paperback still for the win. Either which, it all boils down to what you need. Thanks for the info, great video :)))

Something about reading real books hasn’t always been satisfying to me. Books are sometimes really big and it would be bothersome to hold up and read. Also, turning pages was tiresome for me. The most annoying thing about real books is keeping it open! Sometimes i just wanted to eat breakfast and read but the book would not stay open. I also was embarrassed to read a book in public because i didn’t want people to know what i was reading or to judge me because i was reading. I also didn’t want people to come up to me and talk about the book i was reading. A kindle is super light and easy to hold. No one has to know what i’m reading. It looks natural (in today’s world) because it just looks like i’m browsing on a tablet which is what everyone does anyways.

I'm a recent convert to Kindle, having gotten the Oasis about a month ago. I had been one of those people who strongly preferred physical books, and I still prefer a high-quality, clothbound hardcovers for special titles, but the Kindle allows me to read more, because of increased comfort and portability. As someone on the autism spectrum, for whom sensory stimuli can be incredibly annoying, I appreciate being able to control every facet of the reading experience--typeface, font size, margin size and style, brightness and color temperature--on a Kindle.

I held off on getting an ereader but finally gave in. So far it has fit in perfectly with my daily routine. I like to wind down after my work shift and usually spend that time in the dark watching movies/shows. Since I got my ereader I find myself reading during that time instead. Having a lit screen instead of having to turn on a light just works for me during that time of the day. I have found since getting back to reading regularly that my mind is clearer if that makes any sense, more focused I guess. I sometimes put on noise canceling headphones and have soft music/rain sounds/whatever playing while reading and it's almost meditative. I think it is great for novels. I'm not sold on giving up my physical reference/technical books yet. Especially considering the cost of some of them even in digital form.

Good point! The whole getting distracted was only one reason and I was actually getting at possibility of distraction due to the temptation to just open another app because of how easy it is on a tablet. On a Kindle you can only read, nothing else!

I have my favourite physical collections, so the Paperwhite is the absolute best thing. Not to mention checking out books from the library. The frightening thing is, eBooks aren't always supportive to the Author.

There’s always been controversy about this you’re right. I guess consumers tend to look past those issues, it’s similar to controversy around services like Spotify

Never been a reader throughout my life. In fact I hated it when I was of your age But now I actually wanted to read a political thriller as I like politics so decided to read it on my laptop instead of buying paper back I have given myself a target of 10 books and I'll be reading it on laptop for now before I buy a Kindle. Thanks for his lovely video. Have a good day👍

Thanks. That helped. How do you check out library books?

It’s possible with services like Libby but only in certain countries. I’m sure you can find a way!

I have an audible account already so if i get a kindle i will be able to read all my audible books too?
@Tristan3 жыл бұрын
Yeah you’ll be able to listen to the books on one of the newest kindles but I’m honestly not sure if you’ll need to buy the actual text books as well. Sorry!

A tablet, or a kindle ? For multipurpose use, tablet. For the sole purpose of reading, kindle.

Just wish they would finally make one with USB-C....

Agreed! Although because it only needs to be charged every few weeks, having a extra micro usb cable around isn’t too annoying!

Kindle or kobo? Any thoughts? I'm looking for an ereader.
@Tristan3 жыл бұрын
I’m sure both are good, I don’t really have any experience with Kobo. I would recommend checking their book store offerings, features etc just to make sure they have everything you expect from an e-reader
