I absolutely love my kindle. The biggest advantages for me is being able to read more easily in the dark, ability to look up words in the dictionary and the ease of checking out and returning library books.
Nick Kendall it’s amazing! You download either Libby or overdrive onto your phone or computer. Sign up with your local library or create account with existing card, check out a title or place a hold. On Libby there’s a “read with” option and you can select “kindle”. It’ll take you to your amazon account where you click which kindle you want to send the book to. Automatically returns at the end of the loan period. My explanation is kind of convoluted but I promise it’s super easy. I think most libraries have pages or pamphlets about how to check out digital books.
@@NickKendall no library book I just typed I say free fiction books and I got a load of free books it’s on my Apple iPhone book appt that came with the phone with me having the MacBook Air and iPad I can connect them two together and take my books everywhere, you can get a lot of paid ones to but I use my Apple iTunes pre pair gift cards to do that less hassle,I love the kindles aidiobbooks but right now I have a load of paid and free books on my Apple iPhone as well as 27 physical printed books in my bottom shelf on one of my units a drawer I don’t use because I love turning the pages by hand carrying them around and making myself look intelligent lol not that I mean anything bad against the res, I make my own book assesories like book markers, book darts just get the card board from the back of any writing pages your not useing and cut triangles and then coloure them in and fold them up to fit the page Ora book bone in a triangle form or cut the 3 or 4 length longer and fold them up to form the 3D shape toy when wether it’s a page dart or a book bone and if you need stuff to mark books you have read and not read just get tick back coloure paper or cut squares out and make gum from backs of sticky paper and rub a rubber you can get for rubbing or charcoal you can get them in some statisnary places the special rubber that you can mold it just like blue take or plastecine, and rub that rubber on the stcky back paper and collect all the shavings and mold it together and then add it to your own square bits of paper, sorry for typos I’m typing on my phone.
Sure you do. Use Calibre to remove DRM and that file is all yours. Keep proof of purchase and use an online resource library to download a copy. Not legal advice, but I don’t think publishers would take that to court.
Physical books work out better for me in the area of reference materials...atlases, certain instructional-type things, etcetera, where you find value in being able to rapidly go back and forth between areas (almost like flipping through a catalog), and of course where color is necessary (though that is where a Kindle app can step in), or you need to look at the big picture on something, like an atlas, where scrolling just won't work. In that last regard, that is why people will sometimes ask "what are you doing with that paper map or atlas...why not just do it online/with a phone?" Sure, but sometimes you like to look at the big picture of something before digging into the details electronically. I still like the experience of walking in a bookstore though, even if I am not usually buying anything there🙂
Kindle everyday for me the ease of holding it flipping pages and the dictionary is simply better for me. However books with pictures such as graphs and charts where you flip pages back and forth for studying i like the physical version better
Another advantage of the Kindle is that you can read it in places where the light is too poor to read a regular book. There is also a feature on many (but not all) Kindle books where I can press down on the screen if there is a word I don't know and it will pull up the dictionary. It works with names as well, so if I am reading about Ragnar Lothbruk and push down on the name, a brief history of the man pops up. I have been packing for a move and have about 6 boxes full of books (each quite heavy) and probably have 10x that number of books in my Amazon account, all of which can be read from my phone, my Kindle or my computer and weigh nothing. Many of these are free and since I have Amazon Prime I can borrow a book per month from a very wide selection. So when I am waiting somewhere I can read a book on my phone. The exception where I prefer actual paper books are the reference books with photos.
The weight and size of my physical book collection was one of the reasons I was keen to move to kindle too. I’ve moved a handful of times in the past few years and my book collection has been one of the most inconvenient parts of moving!
80 and switched in 2007 my personal choice will always be the e-reader: Undecided, buy 7" Kindle Fire HD under $50, don't pay for Amazon's Unlimited, take any of the 100,000 they offer free, also BookBud and #1 your public library with both free e-books and audiobooks, text to speech is very good on any Kindle device. I average about 6 books a month, just added the Kindle Oasis which I won't recommend for a new user based on price and Bluetooth only. My Kindle library on the Oasis 599 pages x 8 books per page= 4,792 to choose from today, more tomorrow.
Great topic Nick. My biggest concern was note taking on electronic devices vs physical books, so I'm glad you covered that. How "searchable" are the notes you take on Kindle? Can you search notes on Kindle/Goodreads? I think I would prefer Kindle for Fiction and then Physical for Non-Fiction. Liking the titles and sound effects!
Thanks Sanjee! On Goodreads you can't search your notes but can view them by book. There are also third party apps that enable you to search your highlights.
Just got the new kindle. The one thing an ereader hasn’t been able to match a paper book is the contrast. The font blackness level on any ereader can not match paper books. Just compare the font color on your ereader screen with the font color in any paper book.
@@ColeCarlson365 I like the idea of owning a new book. Plus the books I read I could never find at my local library LOL I read a lot of taboo dark romances. I think the kindle would still be my best bet and then just buying copies of the books that I really like
Love my kindle. I still read physical more. The used bookstore price per book makes it hard not to just read the physical when you find one. I give them to someone else when I finish. If I am excited about a new read that I can not get on Kindle, at the time, then I will grab it on Kindle.
What a professional looking video, if you did this on your own I'm really proud. Thinking of buying this to read more books about investing, stocks, psychology, etc. Will try to read your recommendations soon on my own kindle. Just subscribed! 🔔 You deserve more tbh.
I’m getting my kindle Tommorow! I can’t wait 😊! Do you have any book recommendations? As I’m getting my first kindle I don’t know which books are good😅 (Great video btw!)
Hmm I don’t really read a lot of mystery/thrillers but one that I couldn’t put down was called American Kingpin by Nick Bilton. I was on the edge of my seat the entire read 😀
E-ink screen as used by Kindle is not "a bit" like paper, it is _exaclty_ like paper. The substrate is almost white and _opaque_ with black pigment on it, just like paper. The screen is either read in ambient light, or with built-in _front_ light (not backlight). Kindles _do_ have page flip and chapter skip feature, not to mention search within one or all books.
I have the brand new paperwhite but my only concern is the comprehension and memory with reading on an E-Reader. I have bought two books on kindle. (Not available on KindleUnlimited) but I seem to have a hard time remembering and comprehending, not sure if it's just the books I'm reading or my disability or what. I also feel it has to deal with my addiction to technology with comprehension and memory. Read up on some Allen Carr. All these devices and social media is destroying our comprehension and memory and anxiety and attention span. So I feel it's due to that why I can't comprehend much and remember much either.
Yeah I think I've read about that. Idk, I'm just kinda sick of all my life being on a screen, and something just doesn't feel right when I read on my iPad. I feel like I'm just reading another article on the internet, not a book.
The feel of a real book is better and just looking at the cover makes me want to read it if its sat next to me. Looking at a kindle just reminds me of a phone where ill just go on it for a few minutes and put it down
Man this is a great video all around.. keep it up and you will have tons of subscribers one day. I'm not saying that is your goal, maybe you are just doing this for fun. But your quality is definitely up there and you are very easy to listen to! Im a fan for sure!
Amazon has a vast variety of books to pick from (well over 3 million books); I assure you, 99% of the books you want to buy are available on the kindle store.
Nick Kendall Hey Nick, I actually got mine last week and I’ve been loving it! I decided to go for the basic model cause it was on sale for $60 and I’ve already read like 4 books!
did you know that you don't need a kindle you can download the kindle appt onto you phone you have I know apple store has one, I am not sure, if android, windows have it, but im pretty sure android play store has it.
Did you know that reading on a phone and reading on Kindle are two completely different worlds!? No way to compare the two so yes, it's very much worth it to buy Kindle, especially if you read a lot. PS. Of course Android has a Kindle app, why wouldn't it? 🙄
Don't have a Kindle but I have a Nook. I'm 31 with deteriorating eyesight. It is so much easier for me nowadays to use an ereader. And obviously that I can carry a library with me. Subscribing btw.
@@NickKendall I have a Nook HD. I like it. I use it only for reading but you can download apps on it. I bought it off a woman that needed Christmas money, so I got it on a steal for $40 (USD).
Buy print for your carefully chosen most precious books, or listen to Audiobooks like Sherlock Holmes narrated by the incredible Greg Wagland for an unrivalled experience. Other than that, get all books on Kindle etc to save space. Just my old guy opinion; but print, like live radio, have a supreme quality, yet precarious future.. please support them and don't let them become extinct.
Great video (I especially liked how you nicely split it up in most important categories), albeit i have a bit of nitpick there Kindle is just only one device, while there is quite a lot of different e-ink ebook readers, and personally, I dislike how there is connotation of E-Ink Ebook reader ~ Kindle, in similar way like, Google ~ Search something As far as I know, there are even phones with E-Ink screen And, to explain: You said, responsiveness is low, but, it is due to the fact how E-Ink technology works, albeit, some companies try to figure out better responsiveness (Kinda tricks), especially on android e-ink devices About ease of access - Maybe different software for reading (E.g KOreader ) might deal with that better? Text - not to mention, you can sideload fonts Also I apologize if I came off as rude or impolite in some way, just, wanted to point out a bit, sorry.
I read a lot so I have a kindle and it is so much easier to carry my books around but if I love the book I'll buy a physical copy just to have it i.e I have a physical copy of all the Discworld novels
Great for reading when traveling. In bed. At night. You can take it with you everywhere And you can borrow books from your local library for free with the libby app. You can chose to have them delivered to your kindle or the Libby app.
I have got about 500 physical books, and I have got shelves all over the place holding them. So I have decided that all future purchases will be eBooks, except for technical books; full of diagrams,. For that purpose ebook readers are useless.
Do you see when you read one of my bank kindle and you log into amazon? when you click on one that's paid it says buy does that mean the book or money will be sent to you by check through the post or something send through the post or the money taken card?
if i can get the phisic book i buy it, if not then on the kindle, i mean imagine to get all the asimov books in spanish and the cost, vs getting them on kindle store i mean... besides kindle costed me 1/3 of what all my phisical books total price xD
I almost worship books, the democratization of knowledge they brought. To me, they are practically synonymous with civilization. I even love the smell of dust and some chemical American libraries use on their stock (presumable to suppress mold or something) - second-hand ex-library books I used to buy via one of many used book online exchanges always had that smell. But mass market paperbacks always try to close. If you "crack them open" (which I hate), they often fall apart. Thick, heavy hardcovers hit me on the nose more than one while reading them in bed. If you want to annotate them, there is no other way than defacing their margins. And I cannot easily look up unfamiliar geographic or historical reference or a word from a strange jargon or vernacular. A few years ago I read a favorable review of a particular book, and I remembered I bought it - it should be somewhere on my double-stacked bookshelves. I located it 8it was a not too large hardcover), dusted it off and started reading. After twenty or so pages I could not take the unwieldy object any more: I reached for my Kindle (first gen Voyage just became my "daily driver"), located the book in the store, bought it and continued reading. Aaaah, that's better! I still keep all DTBs I amassed, and occasionally peruse those of coffee-table style that do not lend themselves readily to Kindle, But when I want to re-read a novel of a text-based non-fiction, I acquire it in e-book format. And, although my bookcases have more than thirty meters of tightly packed shelf space, my 200 grams of pocket fitting Kindle contains more.
WE BROKE GODS LAW. 2000 YEARS AGO, GOD PROVIDED A SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST WHO SUFFERED AND TOOK OUR PUNISHMENT ON THE CROSS. THE BIBLE SAYS IF WE DECLARE WITH OUT MOUTH JESUS IS LORD AND BELIEVE IN OUR HEART GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD YOU SHALL BE SAVED. Romans 10-9. GOD WILL FORGIVE YOUR SINS AND GRANT YOU EVERLASTING LIFE ALL BECAUSE OF WHAT JESUS DID ON THE CROSS

I love my Kindle also, because I have my entire library all in one small, light weight package, that I carry around with me everywhere.
Agree! The screen is much more comfortable on the eyes than a book oddly enough, you can really customise to your most ideal spacing and margins
Yes, love the customization! It’s super handy!
That is one of the main reasons I just bought paperwhite

After twenty or so pages I could not take the unwieldy object any more: I reached for my Kindle (first gen Voyage just became my "daily driver"), located the book in the store, bought it and continued reading. Aaaah, that's better!
I still keep all DTBs I amassed, and occasionally peruse those of coffee-table style that do not lend themselves readily to Kindle, But when I want to re-read a novel of a text-based non-fiction, I acquire it in e-book format. And, although my bookcases have more than thirty meters of tightly packed shelf space, my 200 grams of pocket fitting Kindle contains more.
WE BROKE GODS LAW. 2000 YEARS AGO, GOD PROVIDED A SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST WHO SUFFERED AND TOOK OUR PUNISHMENT ON THE CROSS. THE BIBLE SAYS IF WE DECLARE WITH OUT MOUTH JESUS IS LORD AND BELIEVE IN OUR HEART GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD YOU SHALL BE SAVED. Romans 10-9. GOD WILL FORGIVE YOUR SINS AND GRANT YOU EVERLASTING LIFE ALL BECAUSE OF WHAT JESUS DID ON THE CROSS
