Awesome video and super helpful being able to see the side by side comparisons! Thank you!
I JUST bought the Kindle Paperwhite SE! Sooo excited to use it!! 👏👏👏
i love the paperwhite but the oasis is such a nice design for left handed people. the old kindles had buttons on both sides. i hope they update it soon and don't retire it
Oh how has it benefited you and what are the disadvantages of the previous kindle models for left handed people?
@@aleahkhan244 I’m not left-handed and I know this is four months later, but I think an oasis would be helpful for lefties because you can put the page turn control buttons on the left side of the device (shown at 8:13 in the video), which would allow it to be held in their dominant hand. If you hold a touchscreen kindle like the paperwhite, the area that you tap to progress forward is on the right - so it’s harder to reach with the left hand. The voyage was nice for lefties too because it had “buttons” on both the left and right bezels, which would also allow it to be held more easily in the left hand.
Great review thank you!
glad i watched this. I think i will wait for an oasis update.if i need a hold off the basic will do for me.
Excellent Reviews, Thank You!!!
This was so helpful! Thank you! ☺️
Great review!
thanks for the video!! Also, this makeup look is SO CUTE!!! :D
Love this video, everything I’ve been looking for!!👏🏻🤩 shopping for kindles can get overwhelming so this helps!!😊
I’m so happy to hear that! It is def confusing when you see how many there are!! 💗 thank you for watching!
Fantastic set, makeup, and content! Nice work!
Great update on the Kindle line up! I’m waiting on the sales for sure!
Thank you!! I hope you get a great deal! I can’t wait to see what the prime day sales end up being!
very helpful! Thank you!
Great review, thanks for your honesty
I just bought a remarkable and now I’m getting kindle videos recommended. I’ve never been a reader but seeing all the people rave about reading I took out some holds at my library for ebooks and I’m kind of excited to read again.
I got my Paperwhite Signature for Christmas in 2021 and I love it!
I love my Kindle Oasis! I got it on an incredible deal, amazon was having a sale + I had a free gift card.. ended up paying $100 for an oasis. Love it so much
I can’t wait till the Amazon upgrades as I NEED the page turn buttons
I’m sorry would you happen to know when kindles have sales? Or around what time did you buy yours?
@@cillamorales6274 They tend to have sales during major holidays and during their Prime day events.
Great review!!!!!!🌟
I love my Kindle Paperwhite! It's my absolute favorite Kindle so far! It's also one of my favorite pieces of technology! I think the waterproof and warm light features are really worth the money (at least for me). I like to travel and read before bed.
Totally what I’m looking for! You’ve convinced me 😉
Wow such a useful video. Thank you
Very helpful video in researching which Kindle to meet my wife's needs and preferences haha thank you tons!
Aaww!! That's so sweet
Thank you looking to get my first kindle.
I have the kindle paperwhite signature edition and I LOVE IT!
I watched you last one and I bought my paper white! I have never been more happy with it
Yayyy! I love the paperwhite! 📖🫶
I traded in an older Kindle Paperwhite for a Kindle Oasis, and I never looked back. The ergonomics are really good making it feel so nice in the hand. It'd be nice to have USB C, but I don't charge often enough for that to be a major drawback. The battery lasts long enough that I don't bother packing a charger for it on vacations. The screen is also super evenly lit and looks amazing (not sure how modern Paperwhite is, but the older one had slightly uneven lighting across the screen).
The Oasis is expensive, but it has really improved my reading experience. When I owned a Paperwhite, I'd reach for my phone to read as often or more often than I used the Kindle, but now, it's worth the effort to make sure I always bring the Kindle with me.
This video is so informative! ☺️ Prime Day is happening now so I’m looking to upgrade my Paperwhite 10th gen. Torn between the Paperwhite Signature & Oasis for the buttons though. 🙃
What did you go with? I think the best overall price point and features is the standard Paperwhite.
❤😂
This was an excelent video on using the Kindle. The Kindle has a great deal of functionality, but accessing and using effectively it is complicated
nice video, I really enjoyed it :)
❤❤❤ thank you
Thank you so much, this video was so helpful!!! I might get the kindle paper white on prime day. I still love physical books but for some reason reading electronically has been helping me to read more
The best kindle comparison video I’ve seen! I just lost my oasis so I’ve been debating if I should just get the paperwhite
This video was so incredibly helpful! I'm getting into my first kindle now so I've been trying to research.
What did you go with?? I’m still torn between the basic and paperwhite!
@@davidnolin1075 I got the paperwhite and I love it!
Me too - can not decide between the basic and paperwhite!
I just purchased the basic as my first ever so I’m excited once I get it to see how I feel about it 😊
I just ordered the Kindle Scribe Bundle during Prime day, the updates at this point is what the device should've been on it's release date, the latest round of updates is what got me off the fence. The bigger screen will be such a relief to my eyes. Thanks for the review.
What added features did they add at the upgrade?
How are you finding the kindle scribe? Please let us know your experience?
@@bilaltahir9978 Where do I began, I've read some easy reading linear books, something that digested well and get comfortable with the note taking application. I jumped head first and started reading Anna Karenina, and am currently toward the end of Part 2. I've done some note taking, not as much as I thought I would, the book isn't a difficult read, as it is long. The reading experience on the Scribe is great, it's easy on the eyes and you can definitely immerse yourself in the story. As for portability, without the IP rating it stays at home, I read on my phone in those instances, it is hard on the eyes and somewhat discouraging, because once you experience a Kindle device the phone is just meh. Having said that I can't wait to get home and read, on my Scribe. sorry for being long.
Synchronicity! I literally just mentioned to my coworker today that I was thinking about buying a kindle. This video popped up in my algorithm today! Perfect timing haha.
Hahah I LOVE when stuff like that happens!
I bought my first kindle (the oasis) yesterday based on your previous video. I had been considering the base model but the auto rotate feature and the buttons on the oasis sold it for me since I usually read in bed using my phone (constantly turning from side to side). Another big factor for me was price and with the prime day deals currently running I got the 32gb oasis with the cover and power adapter for $219. I’m very excited for it to come in and i’m hoping I will start reading more than before with the kindle by cutting out the distractions of my phone.
I’m so happy to hear you got a deal! I love the oasis & I swear I read at least twice as much now since I got a kindle - the phone distractions got me too haha
Where did you find that deal?
@@stephsteph4924it was prime day sales on Amazon July 11-12th
I’ve got the 2021 Kindle PW model in 16gb but I really want an Oasis for the page turn buttons, I’m holding out for an update as they’re sooo overdue for one; the Oasis was released 2019. I think if we don’t see a release at the end of this year they must be phasing it out, which is sooo unfortunate as we need a Kindle with page turn buttons.
If they do upgrade the Oasis at the end of the year you can always trade in your old one and purchase a new one.
thank you so much.
Thank you for the help choosing which kindle to get! ❤ going to buy the paper white!
Still stuck between oasis and paperwhite but I feel like most people are happy with whichever one they end up getting anyways. I like the look/screen size of the paperwhite but i just loveeeeee the button feature/ergonomics on the oasis. Maybe I'll just go for the better deal on prime day :)
Definitely check on prime days! Right now there’s a pretty great bundle deal on the oasis that’s a good one to keep an eye on too!
Which did you end up going with? I’m in the same predicament as you, I do have the 2021 model but 2022 release (16gb) Paperwhite only because the Oasis is so outdated 😢 it was released in 2019 and for the usual Kindle timeline it should have already been upgraded but I’m worried that they’re phasing it out like they did with other higher end Kindles in the past 😢 I really hope that’s not what they’re doing though, I am just guessing in that direction as they increased the PW screen to practically the same size as the Oasis; so I’m thinking they’re either upgrading it to be bigger OR they’re phasing it out. I really hope they don’t as I NEED a Kindle with page turn buttons.
@@Nikkilodean19 I really really love that the oasis had the buttons...but I ultimately decided to get the paperwhite! Physical books still have my heart so my kindle is going to be secondary so the oasis price just did not feel justifiable. Prime day deal for oasis was pretty good but i just chose the more affordable. I think the oasis will stay for a while but just no upgrades to it :/ i will say tho..i have bad wrist/arm issues and even with a popsocket lol the PW still causes me a bit of pain...soooooo maybe i should have bought the oasis? I' KNOW I'M NOT REALLY HELPING YOU WITH A CHOICE IM SORRY!
@@asyahussain7560 if you’ve got bad wrist try the Strapsicle that’s what I use and so much more comfortable than a pop socket
Can you share where you got your kindle oasis case and pop socket you had on it?
I must have got my white Kindle just before they were ended.
Hi, I love your video! Can we use it for college books?
i have all three! i traded my paperwhite signature for a 32 gb gold oasis, got another paperwhite, and have a basic. love them all!
Twinssss! How do you feel about the oasis vs the signature edition?
@@papernroses honestly the signature edition is kinda meh for me! I don’t use the wireless charging feature, so the only other plus really is the 32 gb. With the oasis I feel like the size is more justifiable because of how easy it is to hold!
@@papernroses my kindle basic is just the cutest little thing, I didn’t think I’d even like it but I love it!
May I ask, just out of curiosity if you use all of the Kindles?
I really desperately want a Champagne Oasis but unfortunately they don’t do this colour in Australia 😒 and I’m still holding out for an upgrade as they’re long overdue for one. I really hope they’re not phasing it out 🤞🏽
I have a Voyage which I like cause of the buttons. I sure wish they would update the Oasis or something else with buttons.
Such an in depth review. I just got the paperwhite in green. I was upgrading from a 2016 basic so long overdue. You video helped me decide which kne to upgrade so thanks 😊
Does the flush screen of the paperwhite made you annoyed ? After the sunken screen with crispy words of the basic
@@abdul-wahabbashir4809it doesn't. I really like the paperwhite screen
Two days ago, I fully charged my New Kindle Scribe, expecting its renowned battery performance to be on par with my beloved Paperwhite. However, after reading a book for an hour and utilizing the notebook feature for a similar duration, the battery level has already depleted to 80%. This significant drop has left me wondering whether such consumption is normal for this device. Having been accustomed to the impressive battery retention of Paperwhite, I would like to hear your feedback on the matter. Thank you!
Paperwhite not great either. I read a few hours at medium light power and it goes down 10-15%
Do new ones come out every year? I’m wondering if I should buy one now or if I should wait until later this year..?
I’m thinking of buy my first Kindle and Thank you for this great informative video.
I like the scribe for writing but I like reading on a smaller screen like a paperwhite
I was hoping you would do an in depth review with commentary on actual battery life and functionality. I’m seeing a wide range of reviews on Amazon, and I looking for real world experience review. Do you have something like that? (I love your presentation style!)
which ones support audible?
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS ANNOYING THING IM TTYING TO RESEARCH SO MUCH MORE SIMPLE!
hello, just wanna ask what file format does a kindle ppw signature edition 11th gen supports. most of my boooks are in mobi format. thank you
In kindle ppw 5, can i install a koren and spanish dictiornary so i can look up translations?
Also, does trabslation in kindle need internet or not?
I think I will buy the Paperwhite but the highest memory is 16GB only? :(
Can I highlight paragraphs and make a hidden note for certain things with kindle?
My kid stepped in my oasis and cracked the screen (I miss my voyage!), they’re currently on sale, so looking at replacing it. Would you suggest the paperwhite signature, or wait to see if an oasis update (or replacement) comes out next year?
What about the Kindle Fire?
These videos get me how to read my kindle Paperwhite lol
I really love the buttons and the ergonomics in the oasis but if by black friday or Christmas they don't update it I'm gonna buy the paperwithe 😕 (I think it would be also great but I hate that big black band above the screen)
Same. I just feel like if they don’t upgrade it by the end of the year we’ll be stuck with the 2019 tech, I’d only get this if they decrease the price significantly
Hi, when i search for rhe paperwhite i find two different models one thats named paperwhite 2023 and paperwhite 5. Whats the difference between them?
It is not so common in Norway yet😅
i've had a kindle paperwhite for a few years now... but i'm not very tech so i'm pretty basic with it😅😅😅
quick question... is it possible to transfer the books to my computer? (would i be able to read them still?)
The background is nice.
So the basic one stays bright always? For bed?
I love my kobo libra .. but I want something larger. Something that has the screen size that's roughly as large as a full sized hardcover. Also, this is the laziest thing you'll ever hear but I wish they came with a remote of some kind. I've found some remote page turners for ereaders and I'm planning on buying one. So I can have my ereader mounted on some type of arm or claw, and us the remote to switch pages while I read in bed.;
Oasis for me since it's the only one with cellular option
Excellent insights and completely useful to my decision making!! Thanks
Should we buy the book in Kindle too
I wish there is a scribe mini.
I want to purchase an oasis to have in additional to my paper white as a side table kindle but I feel the minute I buy one they’ll announce an update lol 😂
I soooo hope an oasis update comes out!
Normally Amazon announces their Kindle updates around September-October just in time for the Black Friday Sales and Christmas so I’d definitely wait, not far to go 😊
I still have my old Kindle Keyboard, but it’s clearly outdated for software use and the battery is long dead… Currently waiting for my Kindle Basic in the mail rn 😅
Your going to LOVE it!! Hope you scored an early prime deal!
@@papernroses nah, it was full price :/
@@papernroses nevertheless, I saw that there will be an English translation of the Disney’s Twisted Wonderland manga coming up very soon!
Call me crazy. I have a Kindle Touch (bought 10 years ago), Paperwhite Signature Edition, and a Kobo Sage. I really want to support Barnes and Noble and make sure the physical bookstores thrive. So, I decided to get a Nook Glowlight 4. I absolutely love that small form factor with physical page turn buttons. Nook's UI isn't as smooth as Kindle or Kobo but it's absolutely not a bad experience. I loved Kobo better than Kindle but the battery life of Sage is awful. Above all, I don't want to just give more money to Amazon and Rakuten/Walmart. Let a dedicated bookstore like Barnes and Noble do well in this space. Try Nook dear 😍
I’ve actually been SO curious about Nooks & I think you might have just sent me over to edge to try it!
@@papernroses haha oh dear.... it's worth a try but I will tell you this. You will find Kindle to be smoother and a lot more convenient. It's hard to break from a long standing relationship with a device/ecosystem. But, if you are thinking of taking part in a mission to contribute to the revenue stream of a dedicated bookstore like Barnes and Noble then it's worth it. Just my take.
@@papernroses Guess what, the inconsistency of Nook made me return it and stick with my Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. Here are the reasons why I had to return the Nook (just in case you want to know the reasons)
1) the sync was not working both ways at all. meaning if I use the app on my phone and read, it's not seamlessly syncing to the eReader
2) If I add books to my wish list on the desktop, it's not syncing back to eReader. But, if I add it to the eReader it syncs online (i.e. one-way sync)
3) Cannot highlight an entire paragraph in one swipe action. It's a two-step process. Select a word first and then slowly drag it to the rest of the sentence. Very cumbersome.
4) Word lookup- the functionality is there but does not display synonyms, antonyms, and contexts in one box. it shows the phonetics and then to know more about the word, we need to open another screen by clicking a button. That interrupts the flow of the reading
5) The wifi keeps dropping and it constantly shows a "not connected to wifi" message. So annoying.
URGENT: Can the Kindle trade-in 20% discount be applied towards a Kindle scribe bundle deal, or only Kindle alone?
Only applies to Kindle alone, won't go towards the bundle price.
I currently have the paperwhite… I’m just waiting for the oasis to get usb c
Nice and informative video! I have a Kindle 11th generation. That was the first model with 6.8 inches if I remember correctly and it finally had USB C back then. I use it mainly for reading samples and when I use Kindle Unlimited again. Otherwise I use a Tolino (German brand; hardware like Kobo but different software). The Tolino can be used with the library, which is not possible with the Kindle in my country. I will not replace my Kindle and I will not buy a new one if it ever breaks. I can also read reading samples on my cell phone or tablet.
Do you prefer the Tolino to the Kindles? If so, may I ask why?
@@Nikkilodean19 In Germany, the Kindle cannot be used with the online services of the libraries. That's why I prefer the Tolino. I wouldn't buy a new Kindle either. In addition, with the Tolino I am not tied to a single dealer. I can use it to buy eBooks from the small dealer around the corner and support them in this way.
Hi, i saw your video on info for kindles and i'm trying to get one right now, which kindle would you recommend that can download other reading apps?
On kindles you can only use what is essentially the kindle app. Other brand e-readers (BOOX for example) are more like e-ink tablets and you can download other apps that way!
@@papernroses can the BOOX Poke4lite only download reading apps and already have pre-downloaded books?, because I looked at the brand and I really like it and think would be perfect for me and because I only want it for books and reading
I have the paperwhite but I think I have the basic one. Not the signature. What’s the difference between the 2?
Difference is that the storage is bigger, it has wireless charging, and comes without ads 😊
@@papernroses @cariwalker7549 I don’t know if this is accurate but apparently the signature lighting also auto adjusts according to your environment like a phone, whereas the Standard you’ve got to schedule it yourself.
Anyway you can share insert size for all the various kindles? I would like to make an offer to everyone inserts for the sizes of Kindles. TIA
Do you have any idea when it would be the best time to buy a Kindle, as I missed Prime Day and did not find your video until later ?
I would try for Black Friday!
Thank You, I’ll keep it mind
I have been hearing about this October being a great month for deals at Amazon is that true ?
What is on sale

Why a Kindle? It does not suppurt a number of formats.
The kindle scribe is Huge…it looks like a freaking ipad. 😂. I love my compact kindle paperwhite ❤
I'm here from tiktok 😂❤
Yayyy!!! Welcome!! 💗💗
@@papernroseswhat’s your TT username? Same?
Their longevity is limited to their battery lifespan. And since Amazon, while virtue signaling about sustainability, actually doesn’t care, has made the batteries non-replaceable (not even by Amazon). The best bet might be to get the cheapest option…
Kindle has ads??? Wow lol
"PromoSM"
The one where you can make the screen white and not that stupid yellow.
Paperwhite or oasis lol
I hate digital books, by I love reading. So I want one. I decided to quit my toxic job and now I have and want to buy a lot of stuff 😭😭😭😭
The viewers save your time, go to 12:25 and see the actual recommendations 😉
No Kindle....get kobo...it uses epub so you can rent library books 😂😂😂
