Why I Love My New Kindle Paperwhite / Kindle Scribe vs Oasis vs Paperwhite: Which is Best? 

You are unbelievably attractive! I like that your review is laid back, honest, and not scripted, unlike most youtubers who over-edit and over-act and add music. Keep this type of style and keep making videos, you're very natural at it. And my goodness are you good-looking! I really dig your style.

I started using eReaders back in 2010 right after having my son (rocking a newborn while trying to read large paper back Game of Thrones was not doable lol) and my 1st device was the Nook. I’ve loved the Nook and continued to purchase them. When the pandemic hit and libraries closed I purchased the basic kindle so I could read library ebooks. Well here I am 3yrs later with 3 Nooks and 3 Kindles lol. My go to devices are the Kindle paperwhite 11th gen and the Nook GlowLight 4.

Great comparison! I love my Signature Paperwhite. It does just about everything the Oasis does, has wireless charging, AND feels so much better in my hand. Plus I love the agave green color. My kid has the sage from the last model and I like the agave just a little more.

Excellent video, thanks for sharing. I have an Oasis 10th gen. and ordered a case from Amazon. Wonderful reads, lightweight and easy to hold.

Thank you for doing my video request 😊 looking forward to more videos

Just got the Kindle Scribe on Prime Day, and I love the size and build quality. The way I hold my paperwhite, I turn it off accidentally every few pages. The Scribe is the first Kindle in ages that puts the power button in a somewhat reasonable place. Wonderful video--I especially enjoy the way your personality shines through, even when discussing tech specs. Keep up the good work!

I’ve been super tempted to upgrade my Paperwhite to an Oasis lately. Thank you for the thorough review and love some of the phrases you come up with 😂

it's impossible to focus on your video with this sweet dog in the background 😍 Thats the cuties thing i saw in a while.

This video was so enjoyable; listening to you talk on about the Kindles made me smile the entire way 😂. Thinking about trading in my Oasis for a PW Signature Edition. Would love to see a comparison to Kibo Libra Color.

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY LOVELY AND WITTY, pls keep making such videos ❤❤

This is a great video, buying ereaders can be so addicing. The last Kindle I bought, before the Scribe, was the 2017 Oasis. I love the feel of it more than any ereader device and prefer the buttons. I wanted to get out of the Amazon walled garden and bought a Pocketbook Era a couple of months ago and I love all the features. The page turning and UI navigation is a tad sluggish compared to Kindle though. Honestly I think they were very ambitious with their software and the hardware is a bit lacking to handle it. It's an ideal device though for someone who likes to manage their ebook library heavily using a computer like myself. I came across the Scribe Mother's Day Sale and couldn't resist, now its my favorite ereader for at home (where I do most of my reading). I keep the Pocketbook Era in my purse and frequently wish for its added features while on the Scribe but admire the snapiness of Kindles and larger screen at the same time. It sure would be nice to have all my books synced with another Kindle though lol.

I have a 2018 Kindle Paperwhite that I love and use pretty much on a daily basis. I love it because I can read it no matter what lighting I am in, plus it's portable and the battery is really good on it. It is slowing down though so am planning to upgrade to the Signature edition around Prime Day. I also have two Kindle Fires, one of which I borrowed to a relative who needed a device to read on while recovering from surgery, the other one I bought last year. I also have a 2011 Nook Touch (which I'm pretty sure can't even turn on any more) and a Nook GlowLight 4 that my boyfriend bought me for Valentine's Day which I also love. I've been a B&N member for a long time and been meaning to replace my old Nook. I love this new one because it also has buttons that I can press to turn pages and a button to press to return to the home screen. I think also once a month if you're a member you can get one e-book for free of which they give you a few choices. Depending on the book, I can sometimes listen to the audible narration for free while reading the book when I've borrowed some Kindle Unlimited books. Some of them give you the option of a reduced price when for narration when you purchase the book. Others, sometimes the narration is included. The special sale up to Mother's Day for the Paperwhite didn't include the green color though sadly.

Great review!

Thanks for sharing! I have paperwhite signature but would like scribe for desk reading

You touched on a point about the page-turning mechanisms on ALL e-readers that unhyperbolically drives me nuts: swiping the screen left or right to page turn. The single-most frequent action I perform on any ereader, by a LONG shot, is advance to the next page in a book. 99.99% of the time I touch the screen, it's to advance to the next page. So...why can't I configure these devices such that a single tap *_anywhere_* on the screen advances to the next page, and a single swipe anywhere on the page and in any direction, goes back a page? Seems like a no-brainer, no? I'm fine with reserving the center of the screen for calling up menus, or even swiping up/down from the bottom/top...whatever. But for the love of God, give me more control over how I perform the one thing that I perform almost exclusively during a reading session: page advance!! What do y'all think?

I just got the Kindle Paperwhite and I'm absolutely loving it so far. The size is perfect and the warm light is awesome for reading at night. I don't really have any complaints other than agreeing with you that they should have done the color all the way around lol. Kind of a weird decision. Other than that though, I think it's awesome! I almost bought the Oasis, but I don't think it's worth it until they do an update on it because the Paperwhite can do almost everything it can do just without the buttons. Thanks for the review!

i have the latest paperwhite and im absolutely in love with it! although my tiny hands cant hold it up quite well, there's a lil struggle! anyway, nice video :)

For my larger or heavier devices, I use the bigger elastic bands/straps that I can stick onto the back with adhesive, the ones really made to be used with tablets. For something like the Scribe, I'd probably stick two on the back as well, for if I want to hold it with my left or my right hand. But I have always avoided readers that big. I'm considering buying a Fire 8 HD tablet because the 10-inch one is too large for me.

i had the basic and updated to a black paperwhite and love it. i agree that i wish the paperwhite came in more colors but the entire casing was the same color!

I have a cover for my Oasis that allows me to prop it up to read (nearly) hands-free ( except to turn pages ). Looks like Amazon has similar covers / cases for the Scribe ( albeit some a tad pricey) that might make it a lot easier to ( not ) handle while you’re reading. Have you tried any?

Nook was my first ereader tablet, I switched to kindle about a year later. When I want to read books I had on my nook, I just use the nook app.

I've upgraded to the Scribe recently and I have not sold my 11th generation Paperwhite so I kind of use both but I love the Scribe and I bring it to work to write my load information down since I'm a truck driver

I have an Oasis, going on 4 years now. Had a paper white before it, and a keyboard 3 model to start with. I’ve been on the fence with purchasing one of the new paper white models, because I’ve been reading a lot in bed lately and the Oasis is sometimes uncomfortable to hold after a while. I missed out on the Mothers Day sale….but I might jump on the next one. Or should I wait until the end of the year to see if we get an Oasis refresh 🤔

I started with the very first Kindle and moved up to the first gen. basic Kindle when they came out. I happily read that for several years until the earlier version of the Paperwhite came out and moved up to it. I loved that model but when it got to the point where the battery wasn't holding a full charge anymore I replaced it with the 10th Gen Paperwhite and was very disappointed in the ergonomics of that device. The flush bezel caused me to change pages all the time when I didn't intend to and they must have slightly shifted the power button on the bottom because I also found it very easy to put the device to sleep or power it off unintentionally. I also hated the warm light. That function is available on my Android tablet and I find it very uncomfortable to switch to that mode. I have blue-blocker lenses in my glasses since I am on my computer a lot and find that I don't have a problem with eye strain or sleep issues. I have the latest generation of basic Kindle now but found a source for a refurbished 2015 7th Gen Paperwhite and it should be here this week. I will be happy to have it up and running when it arrives. Thanks for the comparison and for highlighting the merits and flaws in each model. I really think most people would be perfectly happy with the basic or Paperwhite models and save the money on features that would be seldom used or appreciated.

New sub love this channel already ❤

Hello, where do I find the finger straps you have on the basic model? Thanks from Down Under 😊

I Love your hair colour!

The dog omg the cutest!!!

I got my paperwhite last year. My first kindle and its great. I once tried the audible and book syncing, but apparently that only can be done using the Kindle app in your phone, not on the actual kindles 😪

You should check out the kindle voyage. It’s like an oasis but in the paperwhite design. Has page turn sensors on the side of the bezel, glass screen and feels more premium than a paperwhite. I love mine. You can get one on unclaimed baggage for I believe like 40 bucks right now if you snag it before someone else does. But I feel like the new paperwhite is still a downgrade to the voyage. I have no idea why they discontinued it except for maybe it made them hard to sell the oasis with the voyage still on the market?

i have the new paperwhite i just got a used oasis 3... so im going to give that a try. might end up selling the oasis 3 but so far i like the feel and the weight of it.

I replaced the plastic tips in the scribe pen with titanium alloy tips purchased from Amazon. Now it feels like I’m writing with a pen and they won’t wear down like the plastic ones total game changer for writing.

I’ve added a popsocket to some of my kindles… or similar phone-centric accessories. I added a “wallet” that allowed my kindle (paperwhite) to stand on its own.

where do you get your stickers?

I read sometimes but I am in a book slump right now. I have the newest paperwhite and the kobo libra 2 . The kobo was a gift from my boyfriend. I enjoy the ability to borrow books right from the library on the kobo. The kindle feels to locked in. The kindle is nice though because it is simplified in the settings . There are pros and cons to both for me .

Where did you get your case for the Oasis?

No, the Audible doesn't highlight the text, there is no immersive reading. However, it works on your phone, major bummer that a feature available to phones is missing from the actual device.

I love using Scribe a lot. I thought I wont like the larger screen but the experience is amazing

I'm in Canada and the colored options aren't out yet on Paperwhite, I'm guessing prime day or maybe afterwards. In Canada Bluetooth also isn't a feature and while we do pay more for the device there are never ads. It's a bit frustrating to know the hardware is identical but things like the Bluetooth just aren't here. I don't do audiobooks usually but it's the point, I'm paying like 159 for the Paperwhite and don't have a basic thing like that 🤷🏼‍♀️🤔 I love my Paperwhite but i do find it harder on the hands. I would love if they dropped the base model and turned it into a Paperwhite mini, so the flat screen, waterproofing, nice texture etc but at the slightly smaller size for my hands (i have arthritis).

I do 90% of my reading at a desk with books/kindles held up by bookstands. I use a reMarkable 2 to take notes and read on a Kindle Oasis. I just purchased the scribe only for reading at my desk. It hasn't come in yet and I'm really excited about it. I think mine is probably the ideal use case for it.

I have a Kindle paper white signature. I wish they had the colors when I got mine but I upgraded from the paper white that was the gen before that. I also have a kobo libra 2 I read on. I’m trying the kobo plus which comes with audio books and books and I find borrowing books easier on the kobo. Also they have a few books just on kobo.

The Paperwhite is the best. Hi from the UK. Do you need the 16gb over the 32gb? What about the dock?

I have all the Kindles and I love my new paperwhite best. I love the new charger.

She kinda seems like she would be Billy Bob Thornton’s sister. Oasis FTW

I ordered it.. 4k reduction on prime day 😍

I love my lil oasis so much 🤍

A Remarkable vs Scribe would be good. Debating which one to buy.

Such a cute doggy

What a sweety dog! 😌

I'd say compare the Scribe to Tab C

I love the Oasis but hate the battery life. Wait for an upgrade.

I read on kindle and nook

The whole point about an ereader is to read a book.The Scribe is not an ereader, it is a tablet. My advice is buy an ereader and a tablet if you need it. Don´t compromise!

What’s your age? Are you like a teenager? Cuz i am 16 but you make me feel 60 cuz you are way more energetic than me. And you have very pretty hairrrr also your dog’s a cutie

You have great skin 😅

I love my paperwhite. The others just seem too expensive.

Ma'am, why are you reading while riding a bike 😭😭😭😭

She is totally Larry David’s sister! Any Curb fans here?

"Yall" ROFL!
