    I have never understood the "location" number. In earlier version of Kindle, it had a progress bar at the bottom showing how far you are relative to the end of the book. That's more useful than most.

      I wish they had a progress bar! Seems like such a simple and useful feature to have. Kobo has it!

    For the life of me I don’t know why you can’t have a “page x of y” at the bottom of the page or even have one on the bottom left vice just the page

      RIGHT!?

      Kobo has "page # of #" feature. If the book is Kobo Epub format, it shows "screen # of #". So if you enlarged your font, the total number of screen clicks will change accordingly, which makes more sense than physical book pages. In Kindle, the page number may not change for several screen swipes.

      @@HHuynh-DP true but the kindle is smart enough to know what page I am on regardless of font size. Same thing with percentage read.

    Larger margins are great for speed reading so your eyes have to travel less horizontal distance when starting a new line. I use that a lot :)

    • @Maneetpaul
      @Maneetpaul  3 года назад

      That’s a very good point. I don’t know much about the world of speed reading but it seems very interesting. Will have to look into it!

    I recently put the time at the top. I find it useful as I read in bed but don’t have a clock to check the time (having glowing lights in the room from a clock disturbs my sleep). I may turn it off at some point but for now I like it.

    I like to adjust the margins for what my eyes take in, in a glance, which makes my reading speech faster.

    • @Maneetpaul
      @Maneetpaul  3 года назад

      I never considered speed reading purposes before. That makes sense!

    I love the ability to have the clock on my kindle. I feel like when I read physical books, I spend way more time picking up my phone to check the time. One feature that I truly don’t understand is dark mode. I know some people love the white text on black but it strains my eyes so badly.

    • @HHuynh-DP
      @HHuynh-DP 3 года назад +1

      I think the dark mode is for when you read in bed at nighttime and don't want to disturb your partner with brightness from the Kindle.

    • @Maneetpaul
      @Maneetpaul  3 года назад +7

      I’m getting married soon and will be moving in with my soon to be wife. I’m sure I can put that dark mode to use then haha. Will report back if it works 😅

    • @ECA-14
      @ECA-14 3 года назад +2

      For pdf books, Kindle shows the percentage of the text that you have already covered.

    Hello! Watched most of your videos, helped me get started with my first kindle! However I have something strange: the margins are really narrow for the book I bought which is annoying. This is the widest margin option but still the text is in the middle of the page. Any ideas?

  • @OfficialNerdSingh
    @OfficialNerdSingh 3 года назад +1

    Awesome! Does it calculate on average how long it takes you specially to read a page or does it just an average time generally? They should have a setting that shows pages left till just the end of the book minus the random index and appendix stuff!

    • @Maneetpaul
      @Maneetpaul  3 года назад +1

      I agree!! I really wish they had an accurate page count minus the appendix stuff. I believe the way it works is it will analyze the first few pages you read and then calculate an estimated reading speed for the rest of the book.

    Having the time at the top of the page is not at all distracting, it is small and very discreet, you can hardly see it unless you really look for it. Everything is 'normal'. I see no reason to change anything, I read what is in front of me and as long as it is clear and easy to read, it suits me
