i got a kindle!! 📖 kindle paperwhite pros/cons + kindle unlimited recommendations ✨ 

hi everyone!! do you have a kindle? what do you like/dislike about it? ✨ i hope you enjoyed the video & don’t forget to like + subscribe because it really helps me out ♡ i hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! love u always ☁💕

I’m right here with you! I was all “I HATE EBOOKS” and then my mom got me a kindle for Christmas and I’ve already read THREE books on it. It is truly a game changer!! 🤗

I love owning physical books but I can read so much easier and faster on the kindle. What I've been doing and has worked for me is seeing if a book I want to read is available on kindle unlimited before buying a physical copy. If it is, I'll read it "for free" (Not free because of the subscription price but so much cheaper than buying physical copies of every single book!) and if I finish a book and really love it, I'll buy the physical book to have on my shelf. Just an idea!

To make it feel even more like a book you can change the settings in the kindle to make the book cover of the book you’re reading the lock screen of the kindle! Love your videos so much!💜

I LOVE my kindle paperwhite 11th gen 16gb the fact that it is so light and portable, doesn’t take up space in my bag nor do I have to worry about my book getting damaged in my bag and I can use light/warm light at night. And using my library card, and kindle unlimited it’s AMAZING! Plus with the built in dictionary, i don’t have to put my book down stop reading to search it on my phone anymore. I just click highlight the word and get my answer lol. I will never go back to physical books.

The e-reader doesn't strain your eyes like a computer, not only because of the yellow light (which can help) but mostly because the majority of e-readers now a days use E-Ink technology, which is not the same as a regular screen (computer, tablet, etc). When you look at it closely you actually see the differences, is not as shiny as a normal screen 😊

I got my kindle last year and I absolutely love, it's just so comforting and easy to use

I can’t believe you didn’t mention the fact that you can get a definition of any word just by touching the word, that is my favorite feature, I used to have to live with my Oxford English Dictionary next to me wherever I was.

I love physical books and definitely prefer them over e books. Previously I used to hate reading digital books but when I actually tried it out, it wasn't so bad. It's very convenient.

I also got a paper white for Christmas. I highly recommend a case with a handle and stand. I adore mine and never thought I would.

Owning a Kindle is truly a game changer. It not only gets you to fall in love with books all over again, it adds a splash of "Self Care" to reading. I own the 11th generation and its such an amazing device to read on. Sometimes I would even be reading in nature. The Kindle alone is such pure magic ❤

Recently got a Kindle within the last year and I love it. I have to commute a lot and I read a lot of non-fiction (especially sociology), so Kindle has been an absolute must for me, tbh. My favorite thing about Kindle is that you can change the margins and font size, which helps me focus and read a lot faster than I normally would on a physical book.

So true nothing beats the feeling of holding a physical book and the turning actual pages. Plus side of the eReader is many books in smaller more portable version, I love using my tablet to read but again physical books hopefully will never die

Ahhhh I just ordered my first kindle…so excited to go and pick it up tomorrow at Best Buy….thank you so much for this video 😍😍😍

My wife gave me a kindle last year and I absolutely love it! My eyesight isn’t the best so the fact I can make the font bigger was a game changer! No more large print physical books from the library. Plus it is so easy to use. I’m not much into technology but I can get books downloaded just fine. As for KU that also is a fantastic service! There are so many books, audiobooks, even magazine subscriptions you can add. Completely worth 10 bucks a month. Plus you can always read a physical book to get that tactile sense you like so much and to annotate in it. Borrowing physical books from friends is something Kindle can’t match nearly as easily. Welcome to the Kindle family. We’re glad you’re here. I subscribed to see what the next video will be about.

I ended up getting one last year on prime day and I love it so much! I’m a physical copy kind of girl but I love how portable it is + all the ku books (Dreamland Billionaires series is 10/10)! Loved this video!

This video literally came at the perfect time for me!!! I've been wanting to get e kindle for a couple of weeks now but I've always been a physical book kinda girlie through and through (you know the smell of books and the flipping the pages etc.) But lately I've been thinking about getting a kindle because it seems very convenient for going away on trips and such and also to reduce my spending on books hahaha

Oh my gosh the way your nails match the box that the kindle came in 💙💙💙

Hey! Alexa I really really obsessed with your daily videos and I love to read books so so much you are my inspiration and I wish you reach 60K Subscribers very very soon!💫💞☺️

I got the same kindle for Christmas! I’ve been using the crap out of it! I love my kindle! I’ve downloaded all my books onto it and then some. 😂 I love physical books too but the kindle is so much easier. I’d also prefer to read off my kindle than my phone.

Yes! Kindle + Libby is the dream! 📚 😍

Hey!! If you didn't know, another pro is that it syncs to your Amazon Kindle app and you keep track of the days you read and you can earn badges!! I find it super motivating to keep my streaks going! 😉❤️

Frost is a really good fantasy! Good mix of romance and fantasy

I read “if he had been with me” and I love it. 5/5 stars!! Love you Alexa!!! 🤍

I am in loove with the never after series!!! Super excited about the fourth book "Twisted" which is next month!!! and I'm really out of patient!!😣

ALEXAAAAA, YOU MAKE MY DAY BY POSTINGGGG, I LITERALLY LOVE YOU SO MUCH ♥️.

Hey! Alexa, I am really obsessed with your daily videos and I love to read books so much you are my inspiration and I hope you reach 60K subscribers very soon!💫💞

Not all the the current Kindle models are waterproof, but the current Kindle Paperwhite is. I got my Kindle just before Christmas and I've read a lot more books since then than I normally would. I really like it.

I stayed up until 1AM to watch your new video! I am always excited every time I see your YT name pops up on my screen! Happy new year alexa and all the love from PH 🇵🇭💕

i always loved physical books but ever since getting a kindle it actually changed. i now prefer the kindle i LOVE it so much it's just better in every way. i only buy physical books now if i really liked the book and want it on my shelf.

Omg thank you for posting this!! Been thinking about getting a kindle for the past few weeks 😅

Love this video and was waiting for so long for you to upload this video.

Playing Hard To Get is SOOO gooddd I loved it!!

I love my kindle paperwhite and my stand up charger. Bought my mom the package for her birthday. My favorite is charging it on the charger in the cover! Second favorite is being able to read in the brightest sunlight. Third favorite is when I read at night before bed my kindle brightness adjusts all the way down. Fourth favorite is seeing the cover of the book when I open it, that makes it feel like a real physical book. I even bought the page turner for cold winter nights snuggled in my bed under covers and can just click to turn the page without pulling my arms out from under the covers. Throw it in my purse and it goes with me everywhere. I also downloaded the Libby app and now get pricey books as e books and if my library system doesn't have it I put in a request to purchase it and every book I have requested they have purchased. Love kindle unlimited. My first 21 book series from kindle unlimited was A.J. Rivers, the Emma Griffin series. Cons: I wish I could read 24/7 ! HAPPY READING!

Omg ahhhhh so exciting!! I've been so on the fence of getting one cos I'm such a paperback girlie 😅 but now I want oneeeeee! Especially with how expensive books are in Australia 😭

I just ordered the Kindle paper white yesterday from Amazon. Can’t wait for it to arrive

Just when I was asking for kindle recs, you post! 😊😊😊😊

I’ve been binge watching Kindle recc videos and ended up getting one for Christmas as well! So excited to see you post one! I definitely can relate to how obsessed you became when having one and how convenient it is! I also wanted to know where your kindle case is from? Thank you and I love love your videos! 😊

Black really suits you missy!😉❤ Love U!!

The other pros I have for mine if you didn’t know is 1. The fact that it tells you how much time you have left in a chapter which allows me to read and finish books faster and 2. You can link your Goodreads account to it and when you highlight your favorite parts you can share those highlights with your Goodreads followers. I do agree with your cons though but again not deal breaker ❤

I bought a nook glow light in pearl pink and I love it!!

This is your first video I watched! Subscribed 😊

I got my first Kindle just last week and then purchased kindle unlimited as well! I am beyond happy! I got the Kindle Paper white 2022, 32GB

Wow I’m loving all those books you recommended for KU 😮 I didn’t know they had ALL these amazing series’ I trialed it for a month I think but there were heaps of great books.

You’re making me want a kindle now! 😅 but also your nail polish is gorgeous, do you know what color you used? I love!!!

GIRL!!! What nail polish is that I am in love with it!!!!!

I just finished reminders of him, love her books . I’m gonna read the other ones

Waiting for my Kindle in the mail. I'm trying out some of these, thanks!!

I, too, prefer physical books over ebooks. Maybe I won't get a kindle but hey, no hate and glad you got one for yourself to enjoy reading!! Lovelots Alexa! 💕💕

As a migraine sufferer I read way more with my Kindle! Not having to have the room bright enough to read or a book light is great! I do still read paper books, but I find I am more limited in trying to read with natural lighting which is not sparse in winter. Plus, the cost of a physical book here is approx 20 dollars before tax. Since getting my Kindle in the spring I've read 65 books, I had 3 months of Kindle unlimited free and there is also Prime Reading. I've only bought 3 ebooks and only one was over 10 dollars. I've bought a couple books in hardback that were new releases and the reasoning was that the savings on Kindle wasn't worth not owning the hard copy! Compared to pre-Kindle (even with Kindle app) I was struggling to read a book a month because of eye strain and arthritis in my hands! The warm light really helps and not having the glare!

Your videos are my happy place ❤

I've been saving to get a kindle for a while now. Definitely going to get it soon 😅

Omgg I love your recommendation so so much!!...I can't but just say you are an artist in your performing!!🌟. your my superstar! 🤩🔥 Ps: love you!!

I've been contemplating buying an ereader for a year or more, now I'm just down to being super torn between a Kindle Basic and a Kindle Paperwhite. I think this video has sold me on the Paperwhite, especially actually being able to see it in someone's hands and on. I also have pretty severe eyestrain & headaches from it so e-ink and the lighting are the two biggest selling points to me, with the price of ebooks being 1/3 of paperbacks being another huge perk. I actually had a NOOK color when I was a kid, about 12 years ago now, and it wasn't e-ink. I have no idea how I used to so much without it burning out my eyes, but those days are gone lol.

I love my kindle! Highly recommend putting a pop socket on the back. It makes it much easier to hold!

I source my books from other places than amazon, so I was happy with my kindle keyboard... but it won't hold a charge (not an issue with the battery but the kindle) so I bought a 7th gen paperwhite for 40 bucks. I absolutely love it. Maybe I'll get an oasis one day cause I read for 5+ hours a day

My head always hurt when I read physical books and reading an ebook has helped so much and helps me read faster!

I loooove my Kindle but I’m also such a big book collecter too and sometimes I want to buy the book just so I have it in my collection, even though I’ve read in on my kindle before. 😄

I love your vids, kindles are my fav some times lol ❤

I used to hate ebooks too. I hated reading on my phone or iPad but then I found an old kindle my dad used to use and started using it. I liked it so much I upgraded to the kindle paperwhite. I take it with me while traveling. I read an entire book in an 8 hour drive and I never had to worry about not being able to read in the dark. Finished the entire last book of Harry Potter on that ride. Also you mentioned eye strain. It being an e-ink screen, eye strain would be significantly less than it being on an iPad or phone or even laptop. Idk if you noticed but the light doesn't shine directly on you, it's actually a frontlit screen so the light is coming from tbe front and not the back unlike other devices. It also helps to remind yourself to blink a bit more since as you read you blink significantly less than normal.

You can also get a paper like screen protector for you iPhone and turn display settings to grayscale for the same effect on the kindle app

Awww loved it ❤️

if you have pdf or epub files or books, you send them to your kindle by emailing them as an attachemtent. each kindle has a unique email address, just send the file to your kindle email address and the file/book will appear in your kindle library

Hi Alexa, thanks for the very informative and enthusiastic review, helps alot! Just checking if any of the academic related books can be found as well in the 1 million library? Thanks a lot

Don't have a kindle and not yet ready to convert to ebooks....BUT I just ordered Scarred from the Never After Series and I'm SO EXCITED to read it!!!!

you make me wanna read again ❤️

One more series I would recommend on Kindle Unlimited is The Shadowhunter Series. Not all the books are on Unlimited, but 5 of the 6 Mortal Instruments books and the entire Infernal Devices series is on there (I absolutely loved Infernal Devices!).

If the lighted screen strains your eyes you can turn the light completely off and the screen looks just like a book page… no strain! This is what the first kindles looked like before backlighting was added and doing this also extends the battery life. I only read with back light when I need to because of poor lighting wherever I am.

I love physical books until its super chunky and heavy so Kindle is so perfect for huge and heavy books - no more fear! :') I've read on iPad mini and kindle both but only the iPad hurts my eyes after several hours!

Yess!! pls read "Anastasia" it is enemies to friends to lovers trope! and I know it's a different thing but also so exciting!! 😊❤

heyyyyyyyyyy I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS I JUST GOT ARCHERS VOICE BC OF YOU

Well, about the black and white "problem"... I have a Pocketbook inkpad color and it has a color filter over the eink screen so you have color covers/pictures and crystal clear text still.

I sooo agree with your opinion on physical books.💟💟💟

Hi Alexa ❤ Thank you for all your amazing videos, I love all your book recommendations and recently got a kindle myself which I am obsessed with!! Can you send me the link to your cover please? I can’t seem to find one I like and I love the look of yours. Thanks 🥰

Kindle you can get books from the library in the states only. I am in Canada and you can’t get library books on kindle. But in Canada you can get library books on kobo. One of the reasons I switched to take books from the library.

so happy you finally have a kindle we are matching like the same kindle and the same cover 😂

Hi! So glad I just watched your video to help me make my mind up about purchasing! I’m getting one today 😊 Where did you get that pretty pink case from can you link it please!?

Thank you for sharing this excellent video review. I love my Kindle Paperwhite 11th generation. I enjoyed your review of it so much I subscribed to your channel.

I ve always been a digital book Girlie physical books can be very expensive and you can't really read a physical book everywhere Having physical book shelves is definitely one of my dreams hopefully when I have enough space and money I ll definitely start collecting physical books

I just found out on my kindle it had Goodreads! I don't know if we have the same version because mines a year old but I hope it has it!

i got a kindle for christmas too and i love it so far! i didn’t think i would be someone who enjoys ebooks/ereading. but the paperwhite has changed the game. i just read reminders of him w/ kindle unlimited and LOVED it 🤍

love you video! But how do you read a library book on your kindle?

You are gonna be soo addicted with your kindle! I love kindle unlimited so much. I have a basic kindle and i read so much KU thrillers and romance. Edit: Idk if u know this but keeping ur kindle on airplane mode saves battery.

I can't read physical books because 10 out 10 they print is smaller than I can see I tried reading glasses and they are just painful so my kindle has become my lifeline to continue reading I love it so much.

I was used to read on my tablet so no biggy there. I still prefer the paper, but I hate spending money on books I don’t like… so I use kindle to read the sample of books and then buy them if I really like it 😅 I have also read full books on kindle that I liked but not enough to make me spend 20$ on the hard copy

lucy scores newest book is also going to be on kindle unlimited when released

not sure if theres any Canadians here watching, to decide between a Kobo or a Kindle, just to let you all know that Libby/Overdrive is not availabe in Canada on Kindle, you can only access it on Kobo

Hello, this was a nice kindle video yes the kindles are very useful tools is like HBO, NETFLIX of books and to look for them thanks so much for sharing this video have a nice day.

I got a kindle for Christmas too! I’ve been getting books that I don’t like the cover art for on the kindle so they’re not on my shelf 😂

I’m in between getting a kindle as I am going away on so many holidays this year I don’t want to be hauling books around and risk them getting damaged or lost. So I thought a kindle would be a better way but just like you I love reading in hand books I feel like I can connect better but there’s so many books on kindle unlimited that I really want to give a go but not but physically. Do you recommend me getting a kindle? I trust you as you’re my favourite booktuber . I love the video and can’t wait for more :)

I have a kindle and I adore it so much, but sometimes it is nice to have a physical book in my hands!

What I do is I read til the 5th chapter and if I want to go read further I buy the physical book. Voila I have my book, need my physical book!

I also got a paperwhite kindle for Christmas as my old one was about nine years old. I see you said you can connect your library card to it. Can someone explain how I do that?

i love my kindle! best part about it is being able to eat and read at the same time, don't have to worry about getting pizza grease on my book since i can just turn the page with one knuckle lol

Oh and Frost was amazing

can you make a video of how you get the books on kindle? I want to get a kindle but I would like to know everything before I get one

Love kindles for the bath and my weak wrists that struggle holding books open lol

I am not super big into fantasy HOWEVER the crave series is…… chefs kiss

Here in Brazil I pay 19 box on kindle unlimited, I love it cause I can read in English, If I didn't have this, it would be impossible to read English because it's too expensive to buy a physical book in another language. It’s so good to learn idioms cause you can read in Spanish, English, Portuguese and others. What I don't like about the Brazilian version is that there aren't many famous books in the unlimited version, but in English it's possible to see that there are a lot of famous books available.

I thing i dont like about the kindle is i notice is there is alwayys white dots on the screen on the black of the screen edges of the screen.I always wipe it but it always appers its so annoying man.
