Kindle Paperwhite (2024)｜Watch Before You Buy 

Thanks for letting me know. This is nothing more than click bait

It's wrong. I don't know why people don't consider the fact that it's wrong on morale grounds. It's unfortunate that people don't care about ethics these days. That's why I have ad-blocker on my device because of these morons.

Yep, this channel gets an immediate "Don't recommend channel" instruction if it pops up on RU-vid again. That was a real BS move.

Shouldve read that beforehand...

Thanks, saved me from watching the video.

Saaaame 😂😂😂 just ordered this today

haha same

If water molecules can't get in, dust can't get in either, when the second number is 8 (max) no dust tests are necessary.

@@joshefchuck6385 the second digit can get up to 9 and it's the case of ipx9 which is equivalent to ip69k. In the case of ipx8 it means that there is no data to specify a protection rating.. (although it it certainly possible for the device to be, to an extend, resistant to dust)

Agreed

The bit where he talks about the controls for 2 minutes is BS

It’s probably worth it with the trade in program

@@yourlotusflower4414 alright, thank you. I’ll probably look into doing that then.

I have a 6th generation (10 years old) and have had zero issues. I recently have been watching reviews for the newer models and really, I don't personally see a point in upgrading. Doesn't feel to me like there's enough upgrades to justify the expense. But that's just my opinion!

You can probably sell ur old kindle and then u can use the sold money to buy a new kindle?

Yo prefiero lis primeros modelos, eran más sencillos y mejores.

How, just ask them straight up?

@@ohooper yeah just say as you’re a long time loyal customer (that whole line) you’d be super appreciative if they could just remove them for you for free.

What ads are you referring too?

@@mariea2277 the ads you get in the cheaper fire tabs and kindles that you can pay to remove

still way lighter that the actual book.

The basic kindle is lighter

😂

You can connect it to your pc and put any books on it you want.

@@kimberlyabettes3525 Thanks

This model of Kindle had no backlight so it was hard to read without annoying everyone around me

I completely agree but some ppl just want the kindle just to have for reading personal reasons I guess my wife just told me she want this for Christmas but she has the newest iPhone and a 1yr or 2 old apple tablet that she uses to read but yet she want the kindle just so she can read on that tablet alone lol

the main reason is the e-ink display. it feels and looks like paper. its like the old magnettables where you can paint on with a magnet pen. its way more comfortable to read on for longer periods of time.

I feel the same and actually came here to see if that was normal - the quick, inverted color shift is jarring

@@heylaurileeyou can turn that feature off, instead though there will be a small amount of ghosting. I prefer the ghosting to the constant screen refreshing after every page turn.

Yep. That’s called downloaded dictionaries.

Yes

I think there is a kindle that displays color, people talk about it being "Kindle Fire" if I'm not wrong. But Kindle Paperwhite does NOT display color.

The main advantages of the Paperwhite are its low battery usage and ability to read it easily in bright sunlight. Both of these are a result of the simple mono display that can work even with the backlight switched off. If a colour display was added these advantages would be lost, and it would just be a small tablet with very restricted functionality.

@@stevecooke1636 that looks very well said!

You need to download them first but after that no.

I just bought this yesterday. The black border doesn't glare really bad like you think it does. It looks the same as the main screen. The power button being on the bottom hasn't bothered me at all as it's pretty close to where your thumb would normally rest. But this isn't an issue at all if you buy a cover which has auto wake when you open it. There is no such thing as "completely truly fully anti glare" except for a black hole. I've tested it with the sun behind me, and I can still read pretty well. The matte screen does really well of not being reflective. Barely leaves fingerprints as well. And it isn't false advertisement. It requires common sense to know that everything reflects light or it would be invisible. This doesn't glare like glass or plastic, it glares a little more than a real book does.

They make screen protector for the border is you want to cover it or make it matte.

Buy a basic Kindle in denim: not waterproof and smaller but no glare at all.

It’s unbelievably easy to read in the sun yes

@@red33sox24Thank you!

It’s like reading on paper

$100

No my friend

​@@eddiew2325Can i transfer my own pdf to kindle from Android or any other device?

It works well for me. I have so many pdf and the last kindle I had was paperwhite that I bought in 2018 so it's 2-3 generations ago. At that time the screen size isn't very good for pdf because it's just slightly too small for PDFs and it's a hassle to zoom in every page. Now even if it's only 0.8 inch bigger screen, it feels much much better for PDFs and I don't need to zoom in anymore

apparently you can also convert pdfs to the kindle format which makes them more readable or something

The best way to send PDFs from your phone is to install the Kindle app on your phone. Press on the PDF file in your File folder and press the Send To icon. One of the options you get will be the Kindle icon. Ensure that the Add to Library button is on, so that the file will appear on your actual Kindle and not just on the app. IMPORTANT. click the arrow next to 'Keep original layout' and choose 'make layout adjustable'. This makes the text in the PDF behave like any other Kindle text. You would only not use this if you had loads of charts etc in your PDF which were more important than the text.

Generally no. The user interface with the Kindle app on a tablet, or even a phone is a lot better. However, there is one thing the Paperwhite is very useful for - reading in bright sunlight. Phones and tablets don't cope with this very well at all.

@@stevecooke1636you are wrong, partner. The best thing here is E-ink technology, as it doesn’t traumatize eyes like iPads do.

Yes a lot…. Try to read a whole Book on an iPad and than on a kindle. Your eyes will thank you a lot

People want it to be the same

Yeah, I have one from 2015. Still looks the same. - Edit: Not only the appearance but functionality and responsiveness.

Sir that's called an iPad.

Not to mention the cost!

Yes. There’s even comics to read on Kindle Unlimited.

no. its just an ereader

@@user-hj1rs2pk8o oh I remember on the first one it had chess

2021 some models have Bluetooth

It’s a e reader with e ink, this is pretty fast for what it is

Books in general have white paper and black printing. What's the problem?

Lol what are you talking about son

It’s e-ink display

My thoughts exactly! I like a colored cover and it helps me select a book in my library. What if I’m looking at an art book?

​@walkerhjk and what about kids books. General doesnt speak for all audiences. Should at least be an option

Less distracting

@@zunbun9484 🙄

@@zunbun9484 May I ask what you mean by less distracting. Are they many ads on Android? Thanks

No blue light, longer battery life, lightweight, cheaper (less risk bringing it to the beach/somewhere it could be stolen)
