What do you use to book journal on your iPad?
Good notes app!
If you liked Weyward, Hester & the frozen river give similar energy & are written exceptionally. ♥️
Adding to the list, thanks so much for the rec! I’m almost done with it, and while I’m not 100% in love with the way the story went I am still really enjoying the writing and style
Came for the reading vlog and stayed for the GigaPet!! I love, and casually collect virtual pets. Do you have any others? Great vlog. This was so cozyyyy.
Thank youu! I don’t actually, I just have the one and it’s so nostalgic
for me, non-kindle tablet (Chrome, Apple, Android) then use Kindle App, Barnes & Noble Nook App, and one of the several apps that allows for digital checkouts from the library. Kindle looks you in, even though the "paper" display is awesome as is the Kindle unlimited but, I got tired of being locked in and what seems to be intentionally destroying their own devices as they age to force users to upgrade. My kindle was awesome for about two years, now it runs like a turtle and I only have a couple of audible titles on it and one kindle book. Runned like a 30 year old windows PC. Factory reset and it runs much better but when it updates the parachutes come out and the boat anchor drops out and slows it to a halt.
I loved the Weyward audiobook! The narrator was so good. Your buns look amazing! 😮 Loved this vlog! ❤
Thanks so much friend!
Great video, I'm gonna read that book. I'm not religious but the book sounds good 💕
Thank you!! Neither am I but I enjoyed it soo much. Hope you enjoy it 🥰
Too much yapping
I was born to yap that’s why I’m here
i haven’t finished the video but given the method used to make the lock screen, can that also be used to add books to your kindle that aren’t on marketplace? edit: you can! great video!!
So glad it helped!
I loooove that you're finally reading Twilight lol makes me want to reread the series and rewatch the movies. Also how the hell do you have flowers in your house with the kitty boy? I haven't had flowers since the day we got Lily because she is insane 😂 p.s. when you convince your man to go to Disney with you let me know because Ryan and I have been trying to go but it hasn't happened but I will make it work when you go LOL
I’m so lucky and my boy doesn’t bother any of my plants!! I have so many and he might sniff a new one here and there but he couldn’t care less 😂
It’s too complicated to send filed to your kindle.
It requires a bit of setup sometimes but the drag and drop option they offer is pretty convenient in my opinion! I’d give it a try if you do want to send anything to your kindle easily.
we have so many of the same hobbies, its literally scary and im a gemini (may 31st to be exact)...hiii bestie 💕✨lol
YESS I love meeting fellow Geminis! I’m also a May baby. Welcome to the channel bestie soo happy to have you!!
Someone probably said this already but i am gonna say it anyway lol you can adjust the brightness of the screen.
Of course, but the kindle and iPad have different screen types no matter how you adjust the brightness. iPad is going to strain your eyes while kindle will not because of the e-ink screen.
Can relate to the going through it mentally, I wish books were immersive enough but most books just don't do it at that point :/ LOVE the stardew valley update though haha. I still am yet to read Twilight so I absolutely loved this vlog!! I also HATE napping lol but the tea looked amazing :)
Thanks for watching I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! The afternoon teas are getting me through the dark and short days ♥️
kindle for regular books (love libby support) and ipad for comics and manga for sure cuz the pretty colors!! my kindle basic is a lil too small to appreciate drawings/ art
Oh my gosh, not the Twilight coloring to the video too 🤣 I was a huge Twilight girl back in the day, my childhood friend and I even have a photo in one of our yearbooks wearing our Twilight shirts 😂 Totally understand about reading not helping to disassociate. I'm the same way as well and usually go to watching horror movies and playing games to help distract my brain. I was Team Edward for the books, but Team Jacob for the movies.🥲
Thank you so much for noticing the editing 😂 I had so much fun with it!! Team Edward all the way!!
@@geminipages hahaha once a twilight girl, always a twilight girl 🤣
First off LOVE your glasses! They look really good on you Secondly, I haven't read a bunch of Dark Academia so really excited to take a look at your favorites 💕
thank you so much! oh my gosh, you're in for such a treat. i can't wait to hear what you do decide to pick up!
Very practical advice!
I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)
The biggest cons for reading on a iPad is you literally get distracted by every single time by using the internet and other apps 😅. This is why I want to get a Kindle so bad
I agree and a reason why I love my kindle so much!
Ipad mini
Hi from the beautiful Caribbean Island of Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹. Would you be able to share the link for you library book page on notion?. I would love to have the setup to follow ❤, thanks
I don’t have a public link yet, but this is something I will definitely put on my list of things to create and offer for viewers to use! Thanks for letting me know you’re interested.
I use my iPad Air (2022) that I bought on a really good sale back in July at Best buy for my graphic novels. I tried the Colorsoft for graphic novels and it was a huge let down so i sent it back and I'm gonna buy the PW SE.
I have heard pretty bad reviews of the color soft. I’m happy with my paperwhite! I think you’ll love it.
I use a kindle and sometime my epub files can’t be transferred there so I have the kobo app on my phone and every epub file works with kobo. So when I’m in that situation I’ll read on my phone on the kobo app. Otherwise i strictly read on my kindle
an e-reader and a tablet are just completely different devices. an e-reader is a very specific device, more or less one-purpose only. and for this one purpose, reading e-books, it‘s absolutely superior to anything else. but if you want to do things that go beyond just reading, it gets tricky. And to make it even more complicated, there are e-ink devices that completely blur the line between the usual e-reader and a tablet. They run android, you can download all the apps, they have much more powerful processors and are easily capable of doing splitscreen reading and note-taking. ^^ for the comparison you make in the video, the ipad mini would be a much closer contender, because of the small form factor.
agreed! i just don't have an ipad mini, and i have heard lots of people simply comparing kindles to ipads, so that's why i do so in the video! even the ipad mini is still heavier than a kindle.
@ they’re still very different devices that arent really in competition, it just happens that you can read things on both. ♥️
@@marctestarossa well i'd agree, but many people do compare and recommend them in comparison with each other, so hence the video :)
this turned out so pretty!! i now want a digital bookjournal myself haha
Thaaank you! I never considered myself a creative and can’t stick to physical journaling but my iPad has been a game changer, definitely recommend 😊
Give the people what we want!! TWILIGHT VLOG hahaha Always love getting to look at your book journal because deep down i am so jealous haha so cozy as always, most anticipated read for November, The ministry of time, and honestly i am not a sci fi girlie so i dont know why haha 💕
@@onceuponabookishsteph I’m soo nervous for it because now I’ve hyped it up to both you guys and myself 🤣🤣 I have ministry of time on my shelf too, I love sci fi so maybe I need to prioritize it!!
I have the mini 6 which is nice to hold and read book on but I kind of want the iPad Air to write better notes on bigger screen. But then I’d have to get a kindle coz it might be awkward to read on a 11” screen 😂
@@Sawol_ss yeah I don’t like reading on the iPad because it’s too big!
@ yeh so I might stick to my mini haha
Anything by TJ Klune is amazing! Remarkably Bright Creatures was so good I still think about it!
Another good way of finding ebooks to read is to join reading clubs on social media like Facebook. I find 99% of all my reads in that way.
I have been hearing about lots of Facebook groups recently!
I’m about to start Bride! So excited! Also love making sourdough! It’s sooo good, and so good for you!
I haven’t started yet but we will see if it happens 😂 thanks for watching!!
Your homemade breadsticks. Are you kidding me? That looked so good haha. And your kindle vlogs give me life! Definitely will be watching the kindle vs iPad video too because I am soo curious about reading on an iPad.
Thank you so much friend! I appreciate it 💗 the breadsticks are super easy and soo yummy!!
Ooo! Have added In The Lives of Puppets into the TBR!
Hey girly! Loved the video. ❤ Phantasma was enjoyable for me but yet... a lot of things I was kind of sat there like whaaattt?! haha Also, PLEASE read Weyward... I loved it! 🌟
I’m almost done with Phantasma!! Weyward is definitely on my list, I started it actually but it wasn’t quite what I was in the mood for! Still seems right up my alley though
@@geminipages Yeah I could see that! It is a little slow but definitely picks up!
I got so excited when I saw another one of your videos pop up on my feed and had to reward myself with the video after I finished packing for the day😍 100% agree and love the no makeup when you don't feel like it! 💕The most I'll do is put on my SPF for the day and that's it ✨ The bread looked amazing!! 😍😍 Such an amazing and cozy video!! 🥰🥰The vibes were perfect!
You’re the best thank you so much! I hope packing is going well and the move goes smoothly
@@geminipages of course! Packing is going well, but really starting to feel my age and the difference moving in my late 20s vs early 20s 😅😅
when you read on your iPad, where do you purchase your books? I find Apple Books to be a little too expensive for me lol
I don’t buy books in my iPad at all! If I do read on it, I’m using the kindle app or Libby app to read either kindle unlimited books or Libby loans. That’s what I would suggest personally, between the two you can get lot of bang for your buck
Okay but the way I had to do a double take when I saw my face on this video 😭🥺🥺 ugh I just love you so much. The way I wish we were neighbours, for one, that bread 👌and second, we could just sit drink our bevvies and read haha Also, I NEED Phantasma right now because all the girlies are reading it and loving it and I officially have FOMO. Stunning cozy vlog as always 💕💕
🥰🥰🥰 seriously how fun would that be!! I love your videos and am happy to share the love!! Pleaseee read Phantasma so we can talk about it Lol I just got into the spice 🔥 I’m like 60% and still enjoying it so much!!
I don’t have a kindle but I wanted to watch your comparison. I read my ebooks on my iPad mini and use my iPad 13 inch for all my other bookish things…reviews, Goodreads, etc. I agree everyone has a preference. I like that I can also use my iPad mini on the go and leave my big iPad at home. I turn off all my notifications on my iPad mini so I don’t get distractions when I read, so it’s perfect for reading and an on the go tablet. I do agree you can’t really compare the prices because the iPad can be used for a little more than a kindle. I would say if all you’re ever going to do is read a kindle is good enough. If you want a tablet and ereader in one I would recommend the iPad mini. I tried to read on the 11 inch and 13 inch iPads and there were just too big. Good video.
Thank you! I totally agree - reading on my iPad Air is too big and clunky but again, I can totally see how the mini would be perfect! I would love a mini too, they seem super cute but do I need it? Absolutely not 😂
@@geminipages ha I didn’t need it either but I do not regret purchasing it. I absolutely love having a big and small iPad.
Good video. Just a tip for future videos - look into the camera and not at yourself. Other than that well done!
Thanks for the suggestion!
1. That Mickey and Minnie Halloween mug is so cute. 2. Love that you’re adding a weekly vlog style video 🥰 3. Never heard of “gas lamp” before but apparently it’s one of my favourite genres, if you haven’t read house of bane and blood before I really enjoyed it!! (Also on KU) 4. I’m going to Vegas in January and one of the things I’m most excited for is to try In N Out for the first time 😅 5. Can I have your bread recipe? One of my 2024 goals was to make bread and I still haven’t completed it Wishing you a cozy mildly spooky happy Halloween 🎃🤍
ahh i'm so glad you enjoyed the video! definitely adding that book to my list, it's definitely one of my favorite genres now too! i'm a california girl born and raised so in n out is part of my personality LOL definitely ask for extra spread on the side for your fries, and try a shake if you like them! this is the bread recipe, highly recommend! also would suggest you use a scale when making bread, and looking at pictures of what the dough should look like becuase it can vary based on your altitude, how humid your house is etc. enjoy!! let me know how it goes :) www.lifeasastrawberry.com/easy-crusty-french-bread/
I have always read on both devices since about 2011. I have had my moments with both, I have a use case for reading on both of them. I use my Mini for everything!!! literally, it is my daily driver for sure. I still have the Mini 6. I prefer the kindle if I may get distracted or for headaches. I use my iPad for reading if I want to use my ebook/audible, it will read it to me and follow along with me as I read AND turn the pages :):) I will also use it for apple audiobooks and audiobooks. I prefer to read on my iPad but I got the paper white in 2022 and have read more on it since. I upgraded from the 2010 Keyboard as well lol. I had stopped using it as much due to no backlight, poor battery and all that stuff and that is kind of how I started reading on my iPad a lot more. I have had my mini for 3 years and my paper white for 2. they are both fantastic! I have no plans to upgrade anytime soon. however, if someone said you could only use one forever, it would HANDS DOWN be my iPad because you can use any and all platforms for books vs just the amazon for kindle.
This is such a great example of how you can use both and both have such great use cases! I can see the mini being the perfect in between, I would love one but let’s be real I do NOT need it 😂 thanks so much for watching!!
Honestly clicking on this video I thought it would have like 100k of views. Very cool to find a small account. I have a pocketbook and a samsung tablet. For reading books the pocketbook is 100% better. But I love both the same just for diffrent reasons.
I appreciate that, thank you so much for being here! I would assume a lot of the pros and cons I mentioned probably apply to both of those devices too!
Why would you want to buy a book anywhere else?? Kindle has all books
I do think kindle is the best when it comes to having everything you need at your fingertips!
It doesn’t! It’s just what people are used to. Before kindle it was barnes and noble etc. some of us big ebook readers hate being attached to specific platforms- they age and companies can revoke your license to these books (bc you don’t get to own them legally) at any time regardless of your money. After reading across platforms for so long I don’t want to manage 5 accounts. I manage my own library on Calibre and use Bookfusion to sync across devices. That way I don’t need amazon or anyone else in between me and my books :)
You don’t own your digital books. You are simply paying for a license. That simple fact makes digital books a waste of money.
I mention that in the video :) I don’t mind renting and borrowing ebooks which is much more cost effective than buying physical copies of books I’ll read once
Not for me! I travel way too much and lugging around books because I’m finishing one and deciding on what to read next. You’d be upset waiting in line at the airport behind me if I didn’t “rent” said books…😂
I see your point, but what happens if there you lose a book? Whether it be from traveling, a flood, a fire, etc. With a Kindle, even if you lose it you can still keep your library.
I don‘t think it‘s a waste of money, because I don‘t want to own every piece of media I consume. The issue is that the button says „buy now“. that‘s totally misleading and that‘s what people get mad about.
@@marctestarossa totally agree. i always encourage people to read the fine print, sucks we have to do that because it's all very misleading.
I've had my kindle for at least 6 years now and although the new Kindles look amazing, I can't justify getting a new one when mine is still functional 😅 I did get a refurbished iPad (mostly so I could watch videos away from my PC or TV) but find I still don't use it as much as I thought I would. I rarely ever buy e-books unless they are on sale and not one I want to have physically. But since learning about stuff your kindle days at the beginning of the year I've been hooked 😂 And I'm planning on trying Kindle Unlimited after your videos talking about it and seeing how many books they have available now Loved getting to hear your comparisons and the pro vs. cons 💕
The good think about Kindle Unlimited too is you can usually get a good deal..even if you get it for a month or two, cancel...they'll send you a promo to get you back! I hope you enjoy! I might end up doing some kind of "what to do on your ipad" video becuase i feel like a lot of people struggle with this! Thanks for watching, and I'm so glad you've been loving the stuff your kindle days!
@@geminipages So true! I usually do this with audible and get the same deals I'd love to see a video for "what to do on your ipad" this would be so helpful!
I 100% agree with your pros for kindle. It being easy on the eyes is such a game changer for me, especially with looking at a phone all day when I’m not reading on my kindle. Okay let’s be real, I agree with al your pros for kindle hahaha the battery life is unmatched! I think the iPad is just so expensive, but seeing all your tracking a journal spreads really makes me want one so badly! 💕💕 Also a con for me, is Apple is constantly out dating their apps with certain updates. So like my iPad mini from 10 years ago can’t run any apps and is basically useless now. Great video bestie! 💕💕
@@onceuponabookishsteph oh yeah I agree I have iPads from years ago that just sit there lol Thank you for watching and commenting bestie I really appreciate it!
If you’re an Amazon prime member you get the free prime reading books for free!
For me I only buy the 99p ebooks, as i dont read enough on kindle to warrant a monthly subscription. Yes I may not technically own them but they will last longer than any subscription length I would pay for 😂, and for the 99p, as long as iv read the ebook then I'm fine with it, at worst it'll be a really cheap one time rental cost 😅 even if it was to be taken away lol. Iv also managed to collect a few free kindle books too so thats always a bonus.
Agreed that’s worth it to me too! Thanks for watching
