This is EXACTLY what I was looking for - an independent review of the two latest Kindles out there. I was trying to decide which one to upgrade to, I currently have the 2015 paperwhite, and this video shows the difference between the two new ones concisely. I've decided on the 2019 Kindle versus the paperwhite, based on my reading preferences. I like the brightness of it, and am not concerned about the lower dpi as I am only reading books. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, did you end up buying the 2019 kindle? I am eyeing to buy refurbished paperwhite 7th gen (2015) but just this week I found out that the 2019 kindle has now a variant of 8gb of storage. So now I am totally confused, based on your experience what do you think I should buy?
@@eliodon9092 I would choose the Paperwhite, hands down. I bought the 2019 Kindle but returned it and stuck with my 2013 Paperwhite. I didn’t think I’d mind the lower dpi, but it was noticeable. Also the front lighting didn’t make it brighter, just different. Regarding storage, my 2013 Paperwhite just has 2 gb and I have never run out of space. At the moment it still has 1.1 gb free. Having said that, I do not store a lot of books on my device at once. The 2015 has 4 gb, that should be more than enough depending on your usage. I’ve read that you can fit over 1,000 ebooks per gb. Oh yeah another thing I didn’t like about the 2019 Kindle was the slippery plastic case, felt cheap. I like the kinda rubberized finish on the Paperwhite. Overall I find the Paperwhite to be the higher end model, even an older one. Hope this helps.
If you want to read stuff like your standard book , get the all new kindle because it is cheaper and you don’t need a high resolution to read it. If you want to look at PDFs or manga mainly then get the Kobo or Paper White.
Parsifal Probably because the format is larger, and has to be shrunk down to the size of Kindle screen, resulting in possible jumbles, and odd paragraphing/formatting. Just a guess.
I traded in my year-old Paperwhite for the new waterproof version, and I find I do like the new one better, beyond just the added water resistance. Nice machine!
$50 price difference from the level entry and the paperwhite. If you go for the paperwhite it is waterproof, has double the storage, and bezelles screen so gunk wont be getting stuck to the sides, and a bit of a better screen text reading given the 300 ppi display. I went with the paperwhite, hope this helped yall
Alvaro Rodríguez yeah that’s a good deal. But do some research cuz I’m not sure if it has the text to speech which read it for you when your driving or Bluetooth capability for audio books
I just received my entry level Kindle and love it. I have an Oasis which is my main, but I got the new one since I have two Amazon accounts - one in the US which I use for the Oasis, and one in Japan I use for Japanese books. It is just too much trouble to keep switching accounts so that is why I got the secondary Kindle. I was a bit concerned about the lower resolution, but I have been pleasantly surprised that it is not an issue at all, even with furigana which are very small. Very pleased with the small and light form factor. I'm actually loving it more than the Oasis. I love simplicity in ereaders (the Oasis is a bit of overkill IMHO) and the base Kindle hits the spot.
gaijincool goods I have an older Kindle Paperwhite and I also read books from the US and Japan Amazon book stores. Maybe they don’t do it anymore, but I contacted the Japanese amazon customer service and they merged my two accounts so I don’t have to switch accounts to read either language book. This isn’t helpful to you now but just curious if you contacted Amazon and asked them about merging your accounts?
How is reading manga on the entry level Kindle? Is it noticeably different compared to the 300 ppi screen? I'm considering the entry level one with the paperwhite 4
Very helpful thank you. Other than waterproofing (great for the bath) I can't see too much to make the casual user (me) opt for the more expensive Paperwhite.
I have an old kindle paperwhite and the new 2019 kindle. I prefer the screen on the 2019 kindle, I don't understand why, but the letters are darker, and also you can swithch off the light completely, but on kindle paperwhite you cannot do that. I don't use blutooth and audio at all, so cannot speak about it. Also I find the new kindle faster then my older paperwhite. Hope this helped.
what year is your paperwhite? and how about the battery life, i mean the paperwhite has a bigger battery but also bigger resolution. how does it compare to the all new kindle?
@@MP-op4su I have a 2015 paperwhite. The battery life on a new kindle is same, or maybe a bit better. I don't read everyday, but it lasts about 2-3 maybe 4 weeks. I don't feel any problem with the battery, I think it is a good one, basically same as paperwhite. What I could add in favor for paperwhite, it looks like paprwhite deals better with pdf files. But even on paperwhite I tried to avoid reading pdf as I cannot enjoy this kind of reading when you have to zoom in and out. I gave my paperwhite to my daughter and I use myself the new kindle, didn't feel any difference. The new kindle is smaller and I find it more comfortable.
Olga P. Ольга, выбираю Киндл на Амазон, не могу выбрать. Потому что никогда не было у меня эл.книг. Имея 2 разных что бы вы выбрали, пепервайт или новый 2019 г?
@@ОксанаМансурова-к8д Я себе взяла простой. Свой старый пеперуайт отдала дочке. Если в ванной не читаете, или на море где вода, я бы советовала простой киндл. Но учтите, что киндл медленнее чем пеперуайт с пдф. Но я и на пеперуайт пдф не читала, т.к. с таким маленьким экраном, это мучение. Еще очень люблю белый цвет, а пепруайт только черный.
@@ОксанаМансурова-к8д можно сказать, что нынешний киндл это старая версия пеперуайт, только у киндл полностью можно отключить подсветку, а на пеперуайт нет. А новый пеперуайт стал водонепроницаемый, вот и вся разница.
I've just bought the basic Kindle, having had my 4th Gen for 11 years. Not too impressed with the "weeks of battery life assertion," but other than that, despite initial reservations, I totally love it and the OEM case. I bought the white model. No fingerprints and I don't use the backlight. Although, if I ever found myself without a bedside lamp, or sharing a room with someone I didn't want to disturb, then I probably would! 😉📚
Hi how did you feel about the new kindle,i mean going from 4th gen to 10th gen, does it really make any difference ... I'm curious because i found some one who wants to sell a 3rd gen kindle for dirt cheap and I'm thinking of picking it up..😬😬
I find it annoying that the 10th gen models are considerably thicker than even the 4th gen models. Also the plastic on the entry level kindle is slippery and a finger print magnet.
I find large enough borders a big plus. I sincerely hate this new trend with phones that you literally cannot hold them properly, you either touch the screen with your palms or rest the phone on the fingers. The Kindles have enough borders to work properly, as they should. In that sense I wouldn't say the borders on the base Kindle are too small, but the Paperwhite is far from too big either, perfectly comfortable for me.
@@sphericalcow6014 damn so true, that fingerprint magnet thing is on the paperwhite 10th gen too, its irritating as hell as I like my gadgets clean so I always keep on a protection case.
@@sphericalcow6014 Why? The bottom section is big enough to comfortably hold between thumb and 2 fingers, or rest the device on your hand and balance / secure it with your thumb on the front edge. No problem that I can see.
@@christurner3857 I don't understand what your'e saying mate. What did you think I was complaining about? I was saying the device was thicker than before and the plastic catches a lot of fingerprints
I don’t know why people don’t talk about the minimum brightness a kindle can achieve. For someone who reads in the dark the PW4 is too bright at the minimum setting, so I have stuck with my PW3 as it can go much lower. This fact that this new Kindle has less LEDS is a GOOD thing (ie lower minimum brightness). FWIW I also prefer the raised bezel.
I just got my 2019 Kindle and reading in absolute darkness is best for me on brightness 2 or 3, so it has a very good minimum brightness (level 1 would be too dark for me).
@@blakeavila4409 All Kindle are based on e-ink, the difference is just if it has an illumination (which is from the front as opposed to LED displays). If you set the brightness of the illumination to 0, it is completely off. But I always leave mine at 5 or so even if it's not needed in well lit environments.
@@magicalsnek Thank you. 1:32 he says the Kindle's before these two in the video didn't have the capability to completely turn off the front light. However, the original Kindle had no front light at all. So if I want the experimental browser, e-ink, (no kindle fire screen) and the choice to disable front light, I need one of these new kindles or those that came after. Just trying to read online health articles for a long time without eye strain
DarkMoogle All New kindle 10th generation is best in budget. Now, with built in light. Go for it don't let your mind brainwashed for spending more on. Paperwhite which no more features than 300ppi display, waterproofing lil bit, and more storage option I have purchased all new kindle 10 generation and its serving more than fine. And I love its offline dictionary, vocab building features which are offered in such a low price.
He says in the first 10 seconds the Paperwhite is on the left... Also, it should be obvious which one he is referring to when he describes the differences in physical appearance..
@@diogofarias1822 It definitely won't for text. It would only make a difference if you're into manga, even then of course you can zoom in and such, but for that use case (mine for example) the 300ppi makes it perfect. No need to zoom for small text balloons, no details loss, it really looks like good quality prints. Take note: good quality prints, there's definitely some crappier paper prints than the Paperwhite screen out there. No regrets at all on my Paperwhite, but won't diss anyone's purchase on the base model if they just read text (which I bet most people who get those will do).
@@Kalvinjj the entry level is perfect, untill I got into manga lol. It’s ok, but some kanji are so low res, that I can’t recognize them. Oh well, other that that, the entry level one is great
My 2019 Paperwhite upgrade has a defective battery: I get 3 days max. My prior Paperwhite went for weeks. It seems like the new $80 Kindle is basically the earlier Paperwhite. Thanks for review. I need to replace my defective PW, and will keep the extra $40 in my pocket and go for basic. ( I actually like the recessed screen better, and never noticed the lower res when it was all there was.)
Hey man. Love the to-the-point reviews. One small suggestion though - people like me are not native English speakers and you speak too fast since you are a native speaker. It is sometimes hard to understand. it will be so much more helpful if you talk a teeny bit slower.
You can actually change the playback speed of the videos on RUclips. If you change it to a slower setting perhaps this will help you understand him better.
Nice review. Perfect length and chill. Thanks man! Gonna just keep my 2nd generation keyboard kindle though. Same ppi as the entry level after 10 years!
¡Hello! thanks for your review. quick question. That thing the screen does (going "negative/white on black" everytime you touch it) is it normal? Kinda disturb the reading...
Nice review!! I was reading some comments and my own needs popped-out. I want the Kindle because I have migrain, and I'm studying a MSc right now... basically all day I'm reading in front of a computer... so every other day my temples are blasting lol... if I want it to read, say, scientific articles, my best option is the paperwhite, right? thanks again!!! :)
@@dobermanalfa1 1. MOBI, AZW, AZW3, etc are made in such a way that Pages can be divided into multiple pages in proper dimensions for smaller screen size i.e. they are dynamic. 2. But, PDF pages are fixed or to be specific static, whole page will shown in that small screen rather than dividing into multiple page. When whole page is shown in small screen, text will be small. So, you need to zoom the page which in turns loads the page again in E-Reader. Also, Kindle are not optimised for PDF, so loading time is more for every page when you visit or zoom the page. 3. PDF can be converted to MOBI, but such conversion are sometimes faulty i.e. text cannot be decoded in proper formatting.
@@RahulSingh-ti5de Got it. But at least in Android, there are some PDF readers that can adapt the size and layout of the document. I rememeber that very well because like 2 years ago I used to read ebooks on my phone, so I guess the program was called Adobe PDF reader or something like that.
was gonna buy the paperwhite but after seeing this, tbh, for reading purpose only, the lower ppi of basic kindle is not that bad. definitely will buy the basic one.
@@MESSY-AF not really, you don't even force your sigh since you can make the letters as big as you want, people used to think that you'll damage your sight reading on low light but that's also disproved
@@Varttino letters can be big, but you can see every pixel. It is the same as low resolution video, this is why so many people have glasses now, we watched low resolution videos on bad screens for decades
just download pdfs from libgen.is and convert them to mobi and read. No need to spend a dime unless you care about intellectual rights, ethics and shit.
I purchase an Oasis and love reading on it. This helps make a decision especially for my mom. I think I’ll buy one for my mom based on this video. Thanks!!
I have paperwhite 3 manga edition with 32GB storage. BEST PURCHASE decision I've ever done.. The responsiveness, the big chonks of storage.. hope it serve me well till its last breath lmao
@@rilu8337 i live in third world country and i believe mine is refurbrished from brazil (? thats what written in the box), i bought it online from local marketplace. the manga experience is good, and i dont feel like to zooming in and out for each panel, my source for manga is ripped from the net and converted with mangle but with the release of Kindle 2019, the cheapest kindle now come with LED i believe its the best value right now. PDF experience is bad if not horrible, since you cant manipulate the font and when it comes to read science journal this device isn't suitable.
Was surprised to see the entry level Kindle won't do white text on black background, or did I misunderstand the video? The Kindle app does this and to me it's an important feature.
If only the paperwhite was in the form of the entry-level, with all paperwhite ingenuity intact. It's as though amazon just stepped backwards in design for the waterproofing sake, with more bezels and heavier kindle branding. Not forward-thinking in terms of style but pretty feature-heavy for the paper white. Guess that's fine either way.
Good! Thank you for this video. Based on this I decided for 2019 Kindle 4GB, waterproof is not mandatory to me and they both look very same to me. And yeah, I saved €50! Thanks.
honestly i think the all new kindle looks much nicer. paperwhite has a huge forehead and the screen shield gets scratched easily because it is not indented.
Good review, but no conclusion of which is better. I just bought the basic Kindle on the strength of the reviews on RUclips, which stated much the same, that the resolution difference is not so noticeable, since I only read books. It's lighter and slightly smaller with the same size screen, and I don't need the waterproofing. The biggest deciding factor then remained with the appearance, I do not like the paperwhites prominent logo in white on the front, too distracting. I got the latest edition with front light and 8Gb memory, for a saving of about $43. Since I didn't have the opportunity to view them side by side, I'll never see the difference in resolution.
am in the market for a kindle and saw your video, excellent straight to the point! seem like paperwhite has rubber texture and that is already a no no for me. I had enough of rubber texture getting sticky after years. Probably the basic with frontlight be fine for me. Regardless, thanks for your video!
hi, that was an awsome comparison and it helped me buy the right thing. ive bought kindle (non paperwhite version) but unableto find its case/cover. i ordered some 6 inches cases but they were bigger and later found they were for kindle paperwhite. can u help find case for kindle non paperwhite version? thanks
i have been tempted to get the paperwhite, but when i heard a new kindle came out, i am really confused on which to pick. I'm not sure if its better to pay the extra money for the paperwhite, or get the new kindle and save some bucks. can someone please help me pick which one?
I'm having the same problem! I think they're so similar now that it will come down to the waterproof feature for me. I do like the idea of bringing my kindle to the beach and not worrying about water or even sand getting stuck in the bezel since the paperwhite's is flush. If you don't care about the waterproofing then I say save the money and get the new one.
Hi. If i was you i would go for the cheaper one. The reviews are really good, it more or less does the same thing plus you will have extra money for a ton of books. I have the paper white 3 and still loving it.
I personally chose the paperwhite. It is waterproof (and I'm always waiting for the bus under the rain, or drinking tea while reading; so many paper books ruined...) and does not have the screen on a lower lever. I hated that on my first Kobo Aura HD, I always felt like it MADE shadows get on the screen; So annoying! It's true, you get a lot of fingerprints on the black part of the paperwhite, but considering that and the difference in price as negative aspects, waterproofing, one-level screen, 5 LEDs for an even lighting, higher resolution, and the rubberized back (I don't think this last two points really make the difference, but it is still something the paperwhite does better) are for me enough to make it worth the money. And we should always remember that the paperwhite is not old. It is older than the new kindle, but it came out in 2018, that's hardly a year ago. I bought my Kobo Aura HD in 2013 and it already had the light, and also a bigger screen (6.8"). I prefer my new kindle for those two little things (waterproof and no bezel) but in the six years no real difference in technology was made, so I don't really worry about my kindle getting old. I don't know Amazon, but my Kobo also has the latest firmware update. Just to say. Really hope I helped you make your choice :) mine was hard as well
Please help! I am confused whether to buy a kindle reader or not. The main purpose is to read mechanical engineering textbooks, often involving codes, equations, diagrams and graphs. Should I buy the new kindle reader/paperwhite or is there any other better option? P.S: I have pdf copies of the books
I don't think the Kindle e-Reader is a suitable option for engineering books. But your mileage may vary. If you have lots of diagrams you might be frustrated. But again, you can buy and try it. If you don't like it, return it and get your money back. I would go with the paperwhite though for the higher resolution 300PPI.
A 10" eink reader would be better, but they can be pricey. If you're not going to use it for long study sessions, a tablet might be better, but will cause eye strain if used for hours.
In that case you need high resolution and color screen maybe. I don't know too much about paper white but basic kindle is for text-only books like novelas (images are shown poorly) so you might want a tablet maybe. Also, definitely touch screen
Sorry out of Topic,but can i ask some question.How to clean pencil scribles on kindle paperwhite?Because i'm not really sure that clean it with water in microfiber can do.Thank you.
Another thing to notice is that the paperwhite version has WIFI and free 4G-LTE connectivity from amazon (no monthly fees). Whereas the Kindle starter has only WIFI. I bought the starter, but the next day I bought the paperwhite and I am returning the starter. 167PPI is really choppy when zooming in, so blurry.
For those who are wondering: I searched for info and I found on Wikipedia that usually Amazon release new iteration of devices once per 3 years (kindle paperwhite in 2015 and 2018). So it seems like new paperwhite will be released in 2021. But maybe Amazon will make a new iteration sooner, but not in 2019, definitely. Check Wikipedia on more information.
Does it annoy readers that it keeps flashing black whenever something changes on the screen? I'm considering buying this but that blackflash whenever the screen changes is bugging me and I don't even own it yet. Does it do that when you turn a page or is there a seamless switch between pages?
@@ocesmg Yes, I got the paperwhite shortly after leaving this comment and it really wasn't a problem in the end. Either it hardly did it or I didn't really notice. It's a great little eReader! I will explore that settings option though just to understand it a little more, thanks!
Just received my Kindle 10th gen and I noticed the flickering screen whenever its touched. I see it happening throughout your video, so I assume it must be normal. Is that correct for e-readers?
The "flickering" is the page refresh option. It can be turned off in Settings, although you may have to go into Advanced Settings. That, was the 2nd thing I did, after turning the in built light down to zero!
Well, definitely made for poolside, beach or bathtub reading. Not like any sane mind in management would imagine people do like diving and reading at the same time...
I haved a Basic one but later I sold it for a Paperwhite becuase of the front light and the better screen, if you want to read manga/comics the paperwhite is a better choice but if you want one just to read books the new Basic with backlight is better for your wallet the resolution isn't that important
Is the browser better now for the paper white? (I have a very old paper white, maybe 5yrs old). Just wondering if I can read manga (Crunchyroll) from this
There's very little difference between your Paperwhite and a 2019 Paperwhite. Hell, it has been 10 generations and I'm still waiting for the device to be responsive.
@@christosbinos8467 yeah mine is very old, the case is melting lol but it still works well for its purpose. I'm sure the higher resolution looks better, but was hoping the browser can be used for Manga at least.
Seems like the basic is all you need for reading standard books. Its just if that book has a lot of pictures, it wont be as clear as the paperwhite. New basic version has 8gb of storage too.
Love these reviews, fast and to the point. No extra music or hesitating words.

a shit i just got a second hand almost new kindle paperwhite 3 8gb (previous gen) for 74 dls and it had a case already so i think it was a good deal?
Does the regular Kindle have lighting too?
@@anorak9463 now it does yes, its actually on disscount now
Alvaro Rodríguez yeah that’s a good deal. But do some research cuz I’m not sure if it has the text to speech which read it for you when your driving or Bluetooth capability for audio books
I bought paperwhite based on 2 points made in this review.1. Disable touch screen 2. Night mode.
Quite helpful video.
This has to be one of the best side by side comparison videos I've seen in a long time. Decent job!
I just received my entry level Kindle and love it. I have an Oasis which is my main, but I got the new one since I have two Amazon accounts - one in the US which I use for the Oasis, and one in Japan I use for Japanese books. It is just too much trouble to keep switching accounts so that is why I got the secondary Kindle.
I was a bit concerned about the lower resolution, but I have been pleasantly surprised that it is not an issue at all, even with furigana which are very small. Very pleased with the small and light form factor. I'm actually loving it more than the Oasis.
I love simplicity in ereaders (the Oasis is a bit of overkill IMHO) and the base Kindle hits the spot.
gaijincool goods I have an older Kindle Paperwhite and I also read books from the US and Japan Amazon book stores. Maybe they don’t do it anymore, but I contacted the Japanese amazon customer service and they merged my two accounts so I don’t have to switch accounts to read either language book. This isn’t helpful to you now but just curious if you contacted Amazon and asked them about merging your accounts?
@@boringnation Oh I did not know you could do that! Thank you
Oasis, as per me is the best ever!
Really cool tips here guys, thanks
How is reading manga on the entry level Kindle? Is it noticeably different compared to the 300 ppi screen? I'm considering the entry level one with the paperwhite 4
Very helpful thank you. Other than waterproofing (great for the bath) I can't see too much to make the casual user (me) opt for the more expensive Paperwhite.
Personally i dont think the kindle oasis needs to exist

I have an old kindle paperwhite and the new 2019 kindle. I prefer the screen on the 2019 kindle, I don't understand why, but the letters are darker, and also you can swithch off the light completely, but on kindle paperwhite you cannot do that. I don't use blutooth and audio at all, so cannot speak about it. Also I find the new kindle faster then my older paperwhite. Hope this helped.
what year is your paperwhite? and how about the battery life, i mean the paperwhite has a bigger battery but also bigger resolution. how does it compare to the all new kindle?
@@MP-op4su I have a 2015 paperwhite. The battery life on a new kindle is same, or maybe a bit better. I don't read everyday, but it lasts about 2-3 maybe 4 weeks. I don't feel any problem with the battery, I think it is a good one, basically same as paperwhite.
What I could add in favor for paperwhite, it looks like paprwhite deals better with pdf files. But even on paperwhite I tried to avoid reading pdf as I cannot enjoy this kind of reading when you have to zoom in and out.
I gave my paperwhite to my daughter and I use myself the new kindle, didn't feel any difference. The new kindle is smaller and I find it more comfortable.

I've just bought the basic Kindle, having had my 4th Gen for 11 years. Not too impressed with the "weeks of battery life assertion," but other than that, despite initial reservations, I totally love it and the OEM case.
I bought the white model. No fingerprints and I don't use the backlight.
Although, if I ever found myself without a bedside lamp, or sharing a room with someone I didn't want to disturb, then I probably would! 😉📚
Hi how did you feel about the new kindle,i mean going from 4th gen to 10th gen, does it really make any difference ... I'm curious because i found some one who wants to sell a 3rd gen kindle for dirt cheap and I'm thinking of picking it up..😬😬
I find it annoying how the cheaper one has a smaller border.
I find it annoying that the 10th gen models are considerably thicker than even the 4th gen models. Also the plastic on the entry level kindle is slippery and a finger print magnet.
I find large enough borders a big plus. I sincerely hate this new trend with phones that you literally cannot hold them properly, you either touch the screen with your palms or rest the phone on the fingers. The Kindles have enough borders to work properly, as they should. In that sense I wouldn't say the borders on the base Kindle are too small, but the Paperwhite is far from too big either, perfectly comfortable for me.
@@sphericalcow6014 damn so true, that fingerprint magnet thing is on the paperwhite 10th gen too, its irritating as hell as I like my gadgets clean so I always keep on a protection case.
@@sphericalcow6014 Why? The bottom section is big enough to comfortably hold between thumb and 2 fingers, or rest the device on your hand and balance / secure it with your thumb on the front edge. No problem that I can see.
@@christurner3857 I don't understand what your'e saying mate. What did you think I was complaining about? I was saying the device was thicker than before and the plastic catches a lot of fingerprints
I’ve wanted to invest my time into reading and this is something I wanna get !!!
I don’t know why people don’t talk about the minimum brightness a kindle can achieve. For someone who reads in the dark the PW4 is too bright at the minimum setting, so I have stuck with my PW3 as it can go much lower. This fact that this new Kindle has less LEDS is a GOOD thing (ie lower minimum brightness). FWIW I also prefer the raised bezel.
I just got my 2019 Kindle and reading in absolute darkness is best for me on brightness 2 or 3, so it has a very good minimum brightness (level 1 would be too dark for me).
@@magicalsnek Do you have a kindle that has e-ink? (no LEDs) Does lowering the brightness all the way turn off all light in the screen?
@@blakeavila4409 All Kindle are based on e-ink, the difference is just if it has an illumination (which is from the front as opposed to LED displays). If you set the brightness of the illumination to 0, it is completely off. But I always leave mine at 5 or so even if it's not needed in well lit environments.
@@magicalsnek Thank you. 1:32 he says the Kindle's before these two in the video didn't have the capability to completely turn off the front light. However, the original Kindle had no front light at all.
So if I want the experimental browser, e-ink, (no kindle fire screen) and the choice to disable front light, I need one of these new kindles or those that came after. Just trying to read online health articles for a long time without eye strain
I went with the entry level Kindle and so far it's worked out well. Very happy.
David Piper me too
@@captainamerica6599 Can you guys tell me what model exactly?
DarkMoogle All New kindle 10th generation is best in budget.
Now, with built in light. Go for it don't let your mind brainwashed for spending more on. Paperwhite which no more features than 300ppi display, waterproofing lil bit, and more storage option
I have purchased all new kindle 10 generation and its serving more than fine. And I love its offline dictionary, vocab building features which are offered in such a low price.
Captain America THANKS that helped me decide on the basic for my first e-reader
watched this damn video 3 times i dont know which is entry level which is paperwhite!
I think the paperwhite is the one on the left, the one with the smooth screen. And it is slightly bigger
lol I thought I was alone
The paperwhite is the one left
Ha ha ha
He says in the first 10 seconds the Paperwhite is on the left... Also, it should be obvious which one he is referring to when he describes the differences in physical appearance..
Is the pdf reviewing capability same on both or is the paperwhite better at running pdfs than the kindle??? Plz reply....
The entry level looks pretty good to be fair, my old one just dies on me , so looking to replace soon

My battery is getting worse, but I don’t know how to change it. I feel like I’ll just destroy my kindle changing the battery.

Its like they made the paperwhite so they could sell the basic one

lmao
I bought my entry level Kindle before watching this review but, regardless, it reinforced the idea that I made a good choice. Thank you.
Same as me. The ppis dont seem to matter
@@diogofarias1822 It definitely won't for text. It would only make a difference if you're into manga, even then of course you can zoom in and such, but for that use case (mine for example) the 300ppi makes it perfect. No need to zoom for small text balloons, no details loss, it really looks like good quality prints. Take note: good quality prints, there's definitely some crappier paper prints than the Paperwhite screen out there. No regrets at all on my Paperwhite, but won't diss anyone's purchase on the base model if they just read text (which I bet most people who get those will do).
@@Kalvinjj the entry level is perfect, untill I got into manga lol. It’s ok, but some kanji are so low res, that I can’t recognize them. Oh well, other that that, the entry level one is great
My 2019 Paperwhite upgrade has a defective battery: I get 3 days max. My prior Paperwhite went for weeks. It seems like the new $80 Kindle is basically the earlier Paperwhite. Thanks for review. I need to replace my defective PW, and will keep the extra $40 in my pocket and go for basic. ( I actually like the recessed screen better, and never noticed the lower res when it was all there was.)
Hey man. Love the to-the-point reviews. One small suggestion though - people like me are not native English speakers and you speak too fast since you are a native speaker. It is sometimes hard to understand. it will be so much more helpful if you talk a teeny bit slower.
You can actually change the playback speed of the videos on RUclips. If you change it to a slower setting perhaps this will help you understand him better.
Nice review. Perfect length and chill. Thanks man! Gonna just keep my 2nd generation keyboard kindle though. Same ppi as the entry level after 10 years!
How's it performing,hangs?or still smooth
¡Hello! thanks for your review. quick question. That thing the screen does (going "negative/white on black" everytime you touch it) is it normal? Kinda disturb the reading...
in a fully dark room, is the basic kindle darker/warmer? (on lowest 1 light setting)

I want the Kindle because I have migrain, and I'm studying a MSc right now... basically all day I'm reading in front of a computer... so every other day my temples are blasting lol... if I want it to read, say, scientific articles, my best option is the paperwhite, right? thanks again!!! :)
Basic will do good I think
If you are reading PDF, then avoid taking E-Readers for screen size less than 9.7 inch!
@@RahulSingh-ti5de Can you explain why please?
@@dobermanalfa1
1. MOBI, AZW, AZW3, etc are made in such a way that Pages can be divided into multiple pages in proper dimensions for smaller screen size i.e. they are dynamic.
2. But, PDF pages are fixed or to be specific static, whole page will shown in that small screen rather than dividing into multiple page. When whole page is shown in small screen, text will be small.
So, you need to zoom the page which in turns loads the page again in E-Reader. Also, Kindle are not optimised for PDF, so loading time is more for every page when you visit or zoom the page.
3. PDF can be converted to MOBI, but such conversion are sometimes faulty i.e. text cannot be decoded in proper formatting.
@@RahulSingh-ti5de Got it. But at least in Android, there are some PDF readers that can adapt the size and layout of the document. I rememeber that very well because like 2 years ago I used to read ebooks on my phone, so I guess the program was called Adobe PDF reader or something like that.
was gonna buy the paperwhite but after seeing this, tbh, for reading purpose only, the lower ppi of basic kindle is not that bad. definitely will buy the basic one.
IKR they both have a back light now. Also does ppi matter when you are just reading black text lol
@MN R it's been great! not missing the high res display even just a bit. i just wish it could be a bit bigger like oasis but so far so good
So basically they are the same if you use it to read plain text, thank you, I'll save some money getting the basic one

Hi, sorry I’m new to the whole kindle thing. Are books free with the kindle or do you still have to pay to read books?
Both. There are a lot of free stuff like classic literature and such. But new release stuff they are not free.
just download pdfs from libgen.is and convert them to mobi and read. No need to spend a dime unless you care about intellectual rights, ethics and shit.

@@chelleyagustin527 nothing. I discovered that you can download a kindle app and it does the same thing.
If only the paperwhite was in the form of the entry-level, with all paperwhite ingenuity intact. It's as though amazon just stepped backwards in design for the waterproofing sake, with more bezels and heavier kindle branding. Not forward-thinking in terms of style but pretty feature-heavy for the paper white. Guess that's fine either way.
Good! Thank you for this video. Based on this I decided for 2019 Kindle 4GB, waterproof is not mandatory to me and they both look very same to me. And yeah, I saved €50! Thanks.
honestly i think the all new kindle looks much nicer. paperwhite has a huge forehead and the screen shield gets scratched easily because it is not indented.
Same. £50 saved :)
Great video! Answered many of my questions, and some others that I didn't know to ask. Thanks!
Good review, but no conclusion of which is better.
I just bought the basic Kindle on the strength of the reviews on RUclips, which stated much the same, that the resolution difference is not so noticeable, since I only read books. It's lighter and slightly smaller with the same size screen, and I don't need the waterproofing. The biggest deciding factor then remained with the appearance, I do not like the paperwhites prominent logo in white on the front, too distracting. I got the latest edition with front light and 8Gb memory, for a saving of about $43. Since I didn't have the opportunity to view them side by side, I'll never see the difference in resolution.
The kindle looks far better than the paperwhite that I own and have nothing good to say for it.
am in the market for a kindle and saw your video, excellent straight to the point! seem like paperwhite has rubber texture and that is already a no no for me. I had enough of rubber texture getting sticky after years. Probably the basic with frontlight be fine for me. Regardless, thanks for your video!

Is the entry level is the same as the 2019 10th Gen?
@an insightful mind I think the narrow bezel (edges) are the paper whites. The one on the left was the 2015 (17) edition.
Thank you for that clear and brief comparison.
So basically regular version if you read books, paperwhite if you like pictures and comics
Not really. Some prefer higher resolution for text as well, especially with smaller font sizes.

i have been tempted to get the paperwhite, but when i heard a new kindle came out, i am really confused on which to pick. I'm not sure if its better to pay the extra money for the paperwhite, or get the new kindle and save some bucks. can someone please help me pick which one?
I'm having the same problem! I think they're so similar now that it will come down to the waterproof feature for me. I do like the idea of bringing my kindle to the beach and not worrying about water or even sand getting stuck in the bezel since the paperwhite's is flush. If you don't care about the waterproofing then I say save the money and get the new one.
Go for PW4 ! I’ve just made the decision last week and got one. Really satisfied with it!
Hi. If i was you i would go for the cheaper one. The reviews are really good, it more or less does the same thing plus you will have extra money for a ton of books. I have the paper white 3 and still loving it.
I personally chose the paperwhite. It is waterproof (and I'm always waiting for the bus under the rain, or drinking tea while reading; so many paper books ruined...) and does not have the screen on a lower lever. I hated that on my first Kobo Aura HD, I always felt like it MADE shadows get on the screen; So annoying!
It's true, you get a lot of fingerprints on the black part of the paperwhite, but considering that and the difference in price as negative aspects, waterproofing, one-level screen, 5 LEDs for an even lighting, higher resolution, and the rubberized back (I don't think this last two points really make the difference, but it is still something the paperwhite does better) are for me enough to make it worth the money.
And we should always remember that the paperwhite is not old. It is older than the new kindle, but it came out in 2018, that's hardly a year ago. I bought my Kobo Aura HD in 2013 and it already had the light, and also a bigger screen (6.8"). I prefer my new kindle for those two little things (waterproof and no bezel) but in the six years no real difference in technology was made, so I don't really worry about my kindle getting old. I don't know Amazon, but my Kobo also has the latest firmware update. Just to say.
Really hope I helped you make your choice :) mine was hard as well

I am confused whether to buy a kindle reader or not. The main purpose is to read mechanical engineering textbooks, often involving codes, equations, diagrams and graphs. Should I buy the new kindle reader/paperwhite or is there any other better option?
P.S: I have pdf copies of the books
I don't think the Kindle e-Reader is a suitable option for engineering books. But your mileage may vary. If you have lots of diagrams you might be frustrated. But again, you can buy and try it. If you don't like it, return it and get your money back. I would go with the paperwhite though for the higher resolution 300PPI.
@@RebelHeartX Thank you, I'll give it a try.
A 10" eink reader would be better, but they can be pricey. If you're not going to use it for long study sessions, a tablet might be better, but will cause eye strain if used for hours.
In that case you need high resolution and color screen maybe. I don't know too much about paper white but basic kindle is for text-only books like novelas (images are shown poorly) so you might want a tablet maybe.
Also, definitely touch screen
No don't. Graphs will load very slowly. Stick to the pdf on a normal tablet.
Sorry out of Topic,but can i ask some question.How to clean pencil scribles on kindle paperwhite?Because i'm not really sure that clean it with water in microfiber can do.Thank you.
I love my kindle basic 10th gen. I only read books so the lower ppi is not a problem at all..
Another thing to notice is that the paperwhite version has WIFI and free 4G-LTE connectivity from amazon (no monthly fees). Whereas the Kindle starter has only WIFI. I bought the starter, but the next day I bought the paperwhite and I am returning the starter. 167PPI is really choppy when zooming in, so blurry.

Will Amazon release new kindle paperwhite 2019 this year?
Because kindle has new design and paperwhite looks old.
For those who are wondering: I searched for info and I found on Wikipedia that usually Amazon release new iteration of devices once per 3 years (kindle paperwhite in 2015 and 2018). So it seems like new paperwhite will be released in 2021.
But maybe Amazon will make a new iteration sooner, but not in 2019, definitely.
Check Wikipedia on more information.
Can you upload books from you laptop through the USB cable if you don't have wi-fi where you live?
Yes.
Does it annoy readers that it keeps flashing black whenever something changes on the screen? I'm considering buying this but that blackflash whenever the screen changes is bugging me and I don't even own it yet. Does it do that when you turn a page or is there a seamless switch between pages?
it depends, you can modify that in the settings. for example it only happens once every 10/15 pages on my kindle because i deactivated the option
@@ocesmg Yes, I got the paperwhite shortly after leaving this comment and it really wasn't a problem in the end. Either it hardly did it or I didn't really notice. It's a great little eReader! I will explore that settings option though just to understand it a little more, thanks!
Got the 2016 basic model and upgraded to the new paperwhite, gave the old one to my cousin, couldn't be happier.
whats the difference would you say?
Hey I’ve got a question. Can you make notes or highlight parts of the book? If you can’t do that with a kindle what ebook reader does it?
Yes you can. You can bookmark pages also.
Can we zoom in on images?
exactly what i was looking for, thanks a lot for this review
Just received my Kindle 10th gen and I noticed the flickering screen whenever its touched. I see it happening throughout your video, so I assume it must be normal. Is that correct for e-readers?
Hi Meri, just go to settings. Look for the reading options, then turn off the page refresh. Hope this helps.
The "flickering" is the page refresh option.
It can be turned off in Settings, although you may have to go into Advanced Settings.
That, was the 2nd thing I did, after turning the in built light down to zero!
Still deciding what to go for an ipad mini or kindle Kobo for reading.
Author - can you please highlight the model name in the video so we can understand which model is what!! it’s confusing.

Can I upload PDFs to either Kindle from my computer?
Yes, or you can do it wirelessly by email or with a send-to-Kindle app.
I haved a Basic one but later I sold it for a Paperwhite becuase of the front light and the better screen, if you want to read manga/comics the paperwhite is a better choice but if you want one just to read books the new Basic with backlight is better for your wallet the resolution isn't that important
which one is better for reading pdf's ?

Is the browser better now for the paper white? (I have a very old paper white, maybe 5yrs old). Just wondering if I can read manga (Crunchyroll) from this
No, the browser still sucks.
There's very little difference between your Paperwhite and a 2019 Paperwhite. Hell, it has been 10 generations and I'm still waiting for the device to be responsive.
@@christosbinos8467 yeah mine is very old, the case is melting lol but it still works well for its purpose. I'm sure the higher resolution looks better, but was hoping the browser can be used for Manga at least.
Seems like the basic is all you need for reading standard books. Its just if that book has a lot of pictures, it wont be as clear as the paperwhite. New basic version has 8gb of storage too.
