New Kindle Paperwhite 2024 vs. old 2021
#kindle #amazon #kindlepaperwhite
The new Kindle Paperwhite update was surprising. We had seen rumors that a color Kindle was coming but a nice incremental update to the Paperwhite was not on my radar. I test out both new versions of the Paperwhite and compare them to my old 11th gen version of the Paperwhite. I've loved my Kindle for years and it has made reading so easy so any small improvements that Amazon makes to the Paperwhite or a welcome change.

I tried to love the pixel tablet

After seeing this device in person, I fell in love. Really nice hardware with a great novel design that no one had done before. But just like most things with Google, a messy vision lead leads to bad execution and the final product is just not worth the price. I wanted to like this tablet so badly but android on the tablet and the Google home mess make it too difficult to use.

As I tested the speaker to see why it should be a contender in the crowded bluetooth space I realized it is much more versatile than most. Tons of features, great compact design, and a very competitive price ends up being a winner for Beats and Apple.

    Please check if it still supports sideloading content from Calibre. Because Amazon keeps removing certain books from the Kindle Store and people will want to know if they can sideload those DRM-free books from other stores or Project Gutenberg, etc.

    The new paperwhite is more neutral, which happens to be warmer than the default 'cool' color of the 11th gen. If you put both at the same brightness next to a piece of paper, the 12th gen is much closer to natural white than the 11th, which has an unnatural blue hue to it. I love the new 12th gen

    Thanks for the video! I have the 2021 Paperwhite too and was sort of torn at the announcement on if I should go for the color or the new Paperweight with the nice contrast and speed improvements, but I ended up falling for the intrigue of color, even just in the library mode and seeing all the covers, it looks so cool. Since I will sometimes enjoy a graphic novel or comic here and there, and I love new tech, I bit the bullet and ordered the Colorsoft. I hope it looks as good in person and I hope it's as fast as the new Paperwhite. Fingers crossed! But yeah please do a video / review on it. I'd watch even though I already bought it LOL.

I will admit, I am slightly disappointed that there's no longer a sage green option, even though that pink one looks beautiful. I'm tempted to see if I can find a 10th gen sage green paperwhite since they're probably gonna go on sale…much to think about

    • @GalaxyFur
      @GalaxyFur 2 часа назад

      Actually, it is the screen and a bit of the CPU. The screen is mostly the limitation. You could drop a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 behind that display, and it wouldn't refresh that much faster if at all. We see this even on the PC with E-Ink displays. The new Kindle is running the latest generation of E-carta display. The 1200 variant vs the 1000 variant on the older Kindle. The latest 1200 variant has a maximum refresh rate of 20 fps. If you try to push it to the maximum of what it can do. This particular E-Ink display is designed explicitly for E-reader use only. Other varieties of the E-Ink technology that are purpose-built for specific tasks. Some of those you wouldn't want to use as an E-reader display. This is due to either resolution limitations, power consumption reasons, or other factors. Each version has its strengths and weaknesses. E-ink is also being used to replace price tags at retail stores. Retail stores near me have already started transitioning to E-ink price tags. There is no need to print new labels every time the price changes.

    I really do appreciate your perspective on Apple’s design language. You do a great job of describing what it is about small UI things that aren’t good. Things I have noticed almost subconsciously, but not quite sure why they’re awful. The iMessage menu is a perfect example - it’s terrible and doesn’t feel apple at all, but I couldn’t describe why without just complaining that “it sucks”. Great vid!

  • @abapical

    I understand your point with the control center, and I agree it doesn’t feel very Apple. Overall it does feel kind of half-baked and riddled with bugs. That being said, the control center customization is literally the #1 thing that made me switch from being an avid Android user since the iPhone 5 days, to purchasing an iPhone and migrating into iOS. I was so pissed at the last Android update that made all of my quick toggles MASSIVE and I HATED having to swipe down twice for brightness, across for more than 6 quick settings, and no way to revert it or change it. I cannot express enough how important this customization feature is to me. I hope it improves!

I’m an iPhone user since iPhone 4s and I loved the company choices, but lately it’s such a flop 🫡

    Potentially the sloppiest aspect of the new Control Center is how difficult it is to arrange icons where you want them. Moving one icon to an open space is likely to cause the entire layout to re-shuffle into a completely arbitrary arrangement. It all makes me wonder if Apple announced they'll be moving away from scheduled refresh cycles because they had to rush these products out the door and the products are below standard. Your video is the first I've seen to mention the weird gap between the Home Screen icons and the dock but it drove me nuts to see all that unusable space (and makes the most reachable layouts with the icons at the bottom look ...bad). Great video! Super insightful and to-the-point. Keep up the good work!

    • @jfamab

      It's kinda like in the homescreen, where it's like a mixture between the "old style" layout with apps starting from the top left and the new style with apps in a free grid. I find it infuriating to use because it's so unreliable how the icons will actually move

      @@jfamab Yes! The homescreen is infuriating. They say you can put icons anywhere you want but if you already have icons in a row and you move one of them out of the row, everything rearranges just like it did pre-iOS 18. It's really difficult to arrange icons the way you want without a WHOLE lot of work.
