Prime Day '24 I was thinking of getting the PaperWhite Signature for the extra storage. Minute 14 of this video saved me $60 bucks or more. The amounts of storage and what that translates to with books is hard to tie together sometimes. You brought great value to my life today. Massive Respect for you and your channel!
I have been reading on my iPhone 12 pro max using the app. But now (because of you 👾😄) I just purchased, through your link, the paperwhite light weight 11th generation 6.8" and got it on sale because I have Kindle unlimited - they offered me a special discount. 👏👏👏 After that purchase, I bought a case and screen protector, so hopefully you get some kind of affiliate pay on that too. Whatever you earn you deserve more because that was an excellent review and from what I'm seeing, a lot of people are purchasing because of you're excellent reviews. By the way, this is my first Kindle or even E reader. I've always read on my phone 😆 Well done you 👍👍☺️
Before I saw this there was no way I was going to buy an Oasis. You completely changed my mind. You reminded me of how the kinesthetic enjoyment of holding a book or device is almost as important as the enjoyment of the reading itself. Unfortunately, I saw this video in late March when the Oases were gone. I was crushed. I flailed around a bit trying to decide what to buy and finally settled on a PW SE. The very next day Amazon put a batch of certified refurb Oases up for sale. I quickly cancelled the PW and ordered the 8Gig ad-supported Oasis that I really wanted! I have been reading on it for the last 10 days or so and couldn't be happier with the Oasis. Your video was definitely spot on for me. Liked and sub'd. Thank you!
I'm feeling like a very lucky guy. Just wish that I could have used one of your affiliate links to purchase it. Next I will get a Moko sleeve. Thanks for that recommendation too!
For me, it was the physical buttons that were the deal maker. I think for me especially as a left handed person, swiping right to advance pages is a little awkward with your left hand. The Oasis solves that problem with good old fashioned physical buttons that feel natural to use whether right or left handed.
The Oasis is the best kindle Amazon ever made and if they launch a new one with Type C, I will buy it on the spot. Page turning with buttons is great and the ergonomics is top tier!
I was trying to decide which one to buy and literally could not tell the difference based on the descriptions. This video helped a lot to understand. Thank u. 🙏
@@onemanbookclub2585I do have a question… maybe u can answer it. If I sync up the kindle to my Amazon account, will any past books I bought show up on the kindle or do I specifically have to purchase said book on the kindle itself?
The single best thing I have bought for my 2018 paperwhite is a tablet holder that grabs the headboard. I fall asleep reading, my Kindle goes to sleep, and it's right where I left it in the morning. No kindle falling on my face when I fall asleep, I don't even have to hold it. I just bump the right side of the screen with a finger, or honestly sometimes my nose lol
underrated youtuber!!! i became an e-reader when i tried reading on my ipad. suddenly reading became so fast?? i dont understand how but it just makes you a faster reader. unfortunately, the ipad was just straining my eyes so now im convinced i need a kindle oasis HAHA. this was very helpful father thank you! (yes, you are our e-father now).
thank you so much for this video! i was trying to decided between the paper white and the basic one and you helped me a lot and i decided to buy the 2023 basic kindle that just got delivered a few hours ago. keep up with the amazing job! love from Brasil 🇧🇷
@@ongjanetteof course! I was already looking for something smaller and cheaper. The only difference between them is basically the water resistance and the size, and those things didn't matter to me at the time, so it was not worth paying more for the paperwhite only to have those 2 features. I have the basic one for over 5 months now and I love it! I read for hours every single day and I only charge it every 15 days or less, also the kindle is so small that fits every single purse that I have so I can carry with me everywhere I go. I also use it for work uploading documents that I'll need to read and check while working.
My kindle is ancient. Got it in 2013 and i still use it. No touch screen. Buttons on each side for turning pages, buttons on the bottom for everything else
Think I have the same model. Mine has no backlight, which is one reason why I'm thinking of upgrading. As I've rediscovered the pleasure of handwriting, will get the Scribe.
Nice to see someone speak to camera and not fill the video with jumpcuts! Bravo sir! I dont need the amount of eink ereaders that i have but im hooked on the various types and models both from Kobo and Amazon. I have a Kobo Libra 2, Kindle Basic, Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Scribe. Correction note: Scribe is not waterproof
I never leave comments or reviews, but this video was so so helpful and I needed to let you know. Way more thorough than any other video. I've been wanting to read more and thought a Kindle purchase would be a great catalyst. After watching your video, I think I'm going to go with the Paperwhite 8g no ads. Thank you!
I'm so glad it was helpful! When you buy, use my associate link and I'll earn a tiny commission from Amazon that I use to keep the Book Club running! Thank you! amzn.to/3vPqTiL
I had an Oasis but as a huge manga reader I ended up trading it in for a 64GB scribe. I ADORE IT. It has some premium features like the Oasis like the autoflip and has the solid metal casing.
They do, but as Kindle eReaders are not yet available in color and as it can be clunky to navigate through pictures and small words, I don't recommend an ereader for Manga.
this is amazing! the first kindle I got was the 2012 model. Last year I upgraded to the 2022 paperwhite last year. So excited to get into reading this year!! great video!
Thank you for taking the time to describe and demonstrate all these! I began with whatever year they first came out (even before Oprah discovered them) and am on my 7th now, a Paperwhite that’s begun freezing more frequently. I was about sold on a new paperwhite, but I think you sold me on the Oasis because I’ve so missed buttons to turn the page. And holding in one hand you can enjoy a beverage while reading.
Sadly the Oasis is no longer available! I suspect they'll be introducing a new model this year or next...maybe a color Kindle? But for now an updated Paperwhite is your best bet.
This helped make my decision. I watched 5 reviews before yours and gained no confidence in which one to choose. By the end of your review I ordered the best one for my needs. Thanks
Kindle needs to add immersion reading to their dedicated Kindle devices, to allow listening to the audiobook while simultaneously reading the ebook. I can’t understand why this isn’t available on the dedicated hardware yet it’s available in the app on phones and tablets. It’s my biggest complaint about Kindles, and the reason I hardly ever use mine.
I have the Kindle Paperwhite 16bg and I LOVE IT, I want them all but I haven’t tried any of the others so I can’t say which is my favourite. I love mine though, decorating it makes me really happy. I don’t need the buttons on the Oasis, which is why I didn’t get it I didn’t think it was necessary. I love the warmth feature on my Paperwhite too, I usually keep the warmth around 5
I have all of the kindles except the Scribe and the Oasis is by far my favorite. I love the ergonomic design, the buttons; the lightness and the uniform lighting.
Is the difference that big between Paperwhite and Oasis when it comes to lighting? Don't they both feel like paper? I mean, it's the only one which has paper in its name 😅
I know I want the Paperwhite, but I’m always confused about the gigs! Thanks so much explaining that the 8 is enough. Really appreciate your thorough video and looking forward to owning my first Kindle.
Really good comparison, thank you. I've had the first version of the paperwhite since it first came out. It's finally having issues holding a charge so I'm looking at a new one. Appreciate the detailed look at them.
Wow, great video! i have a paperwhite, got it 5 years ago, and I had to chuckle everytime you said things like "I love it", "it was life changing", because it happened the same to me. But not everyone understands the passion this device awakes! Hahaha But by the way, I think another important feature is the warm light option 😊 Thanks for your video, I am going to get an oasis as soon as possible. I had doubts but not anymore 😄🙌
My first kindle was also the keyboard model in 2010, and suddenly in 2017 it stopped charging and I was heartbroken. I loved my keyboard but started looking at the newer options and settled on the Oasis, mainly for the page turning buttons. I’m happy with it but really miss the ease of the keyboard model. Great reviews. Btw, I still have my keyboard hoping for a miracle resuscitation someday.
I've been hearing that it's possible to replace the battery in the Kindle Keyboard. I've been wanting to learn how to do it and make a video about it. Stay tuned!
@@onemanbookclub2585 I did it! I ordered the battery from Amazon and it’s now charged up! The hardest part was getting the back off, I ordered the battery that comes with the tool and I also used a guitar pick to help it along.
Great video! I am definitely the guy with 3 Kindles because I love them all. The only correction I would suggest is that the Kindle Scribe is not waterproof.
Dang. I was ready to buy an Oasis until you said it doesn’t use USBC. I don’t want to have to keep up with additional chargers. Thank you so much for this review!! 🤗
The Scribe doesn't have that fat side, and the Oasis is discontinued. Paperwhite is your option! But I'm pretty sure Amazon is about to introduce some new options!
Been searching for a side by side comparison of the screen lighting of the different Kindles! Thanks for this. I use an Oasis (and love it) but preparing for its eventual phase out. I hope I am wrong, but there hasn’t been any real news about it being upgraded. I’m partial to its asymmetrical shape and buttons… but if I have to choose another replacement, I’ll was hoping for a non-flush screen one like the Basic but the difference in the number of LEDs between the Oasis and the Basic will probably be too noticeable to me. But there’s something about a non-flush screen - I remember my first one, the Kindle Keyboard! Wonderful device :) completely sold me on ereading.
Ahhh, the Kindle Keyboard! Changed my life! Yes, I have those fears for the Oasis too, but I've had them for a while now. My thought is: Why haven't they phased it out yet? So I'm a bit hopeful they won't. Not sure what they're waiting on... Phase it out or update it. Just do something!!
@@onemanbookclub2585totally agree. I’ve been wanting to upgrade but at the moment I’ve got the 11th gen PW and some parts I feel like I’m downgrading eg micro-USB Vs micro-USBC
Do not underestimate the convenience of the small size of the standard Kindle. It is the only one that can fit comfortably in a pocket and takes up very little room in a bag.
I have a KO3 and I just semi-replaced it with the 2022 basic model. I’ve always wanted the smaller form factor, and now it has 300 dpi as well. Hopefully they give it water resistance and warm time within a couple of decades😂
Lining every wall with bookshelves is a current ongoing discussion between my wife and I. Most of my books have been moved into my office with some current books next to my bed.....
Great to meet a fellow Oasis fan! The Scribe is very good, particularly for it's notebook functionality. I wouldn't like it as a dedicated eReader though, it's too heavy for how I would read on it.
Thank you for your Kindle descriptions. You mentioned that your kindle one with buttons was no longer chargeable. I have this model and found it easy to put a new battery into it.
I had a KOBO reader way back in the early 2009 era but ended up just using my phone or a tablet after, well fast forward and my eyesight is worsened and migraines plague me if i read this way so i was on the hunt for a kindle that read like a real book since the kindle books are WAY cheaper than in your hand printed seem to be. This video helped me decide ❤ thank you! It will be here tomorrow with a cute little case too. I went with the 11th gen 2022 6 inch model btw. Both for the price and features it had, and the fact it would fit in my purse easily.
The only thing that would have made this video better would be a sticky note above each one with the model labeled. I am watching this because I am not familiar with the models yet, so as you compare and contrast, it would be nice to know at a glance which one "this one" that you're talking about is. You could also do this in post in your video editing program if that is easier or if that aesthetic suits you better. Otherwise, this was very useful. Unfortunately, the Oasis seems to not be offered anymore. D:
This is a super helpful video that answered any questions I had about what are the differences between different kindles and which is the best choice for me. Thank you!
Great video! Just one thing I wanted to mention.. you said the Scribe is waterproof and I don’t think that’s true. Wouldn’t want people taking it into the bath and regretting it. 😊
With due respect, it's not a waste of money to have the extra storage on the paperwhite. In my case, I have a 16GB paperwhite, and it's almost full. The problem with that is, I don't have a computer to backup the books on my kindle. Many of my books are sideloaded. So, if I were to delete them, I wouldn't be able to retrieve them. Yes, I have many free books which I got from Amazon, but like I said, there are many sideload books I can't retrieve. I also have very limited data, so re-dowloading books would also be a major issue.
Can't you save all your sideloaded books on amazon servers too for free by sending them to kindle via email? But yeah I read books with illustrations too so I wished Amazon would stop being cheap and add more storage. It's not like storage is that expensive these days..
Hey thank you for the videos. You can change the battery on your old kindle. I have one from that year, and was still able to purchase the battery last year. It's real easy to do, you can RUclips it. I still have my white kindle from. 2008, I'll never get rid of it. :)
Christmas 2010 was when I got my first e-reader (B&N Nook) and The Hunger Games was the first series I read on an e-reader (got them all for $5/ea). Best present my dad ever got me. Stuck with Nook until Christmas 2017, finally made the switch to Kindle, and it's my most prized posession. I am looking forward to the day I can get a Scribe.
One of the best reviews ❤ I am really curious on the Oasis, my Kindle Basic has been one of my best purchases ever and I am keen to explore more of the e-reader world 😊
Thank you! Sadly, Amazon has discontinued the Oasis, hopefully in favor of something yet-to-be-revealed in 2025. For now, the Paperwhite is a great upgrade! Good luck!
Hello. I love my voyage. Unfortunately its about to die. I was thinking of getting an Oasis. Just wanted to know what your experience was like? Also, in your opinion should I get an oasis or wait for amazon to launch a new device? Looking forward to your reply :)
The Oasis remains my favorite device my a large margin. Unfortunately, Amazon discontinued it in the US a few months ago. I believe it's still available outside the US, however. And you can still occasionally find a referb on Amazon too. I expect Amazon will introduce a new color ereader device in 2025, but I don't know anything about it yet to compare it to the Oasis.
Thank you for this comparison! I love my Oasis, but it’s too heavy for me after about 30m. I was hoping the newer Paperwhite was lighter, since it now has warm tinting. I guess that warm light apparatus just makes everything heavier.
Still using my 2011 gen 4 with the buttons! Thinking aboutbipgrading! This was a great video to help inform me. I now see the joy of an oasis. Lets hope they announce a new version later thia year!
Great review, Tks so much…my husband has Amazon prime, can I sign in using his account to read books on my own kindle. Or do I have to have my own Amazon prime account? Same household…
Many thanks for this excellent and informative video!! 🎉 I have the 1st three devices and considering a Scribe. They do make an Oasis fabric cover that has the same shape of the device so don’t lose the device form factor. Sorry if someone else mention that for I didn’t read all 250+ comments.
My 1st kindle was the kindle keyboard! It had a speaker and could read to you in a robot voice. Remember how they hyped the 1st paperwhite? I had to have it, the newest paperwhite is just not friendly to hold in either hand, and I frequently swipe too many pages and lose my place. I think older software allowed you adjust sensitivity to adjust for this. My favorite way to use the new paperwhite is with a case that stands on a table. It’s battery life and slim Denmark it a great travel companion Ergonomically and build quality the Oasis is unmatched. My scribe is basically a dust collector, I’m going to use it for personal study at some point.
You can actually have the page read out loud on a kindle device hooked up to Bluetooth sound device. It’s not as good as a professional audio book but it is possible.
Yes! You are absolutely right. This isn't a feature I call out very much because it's honestly quite complicated to get it to work. But I should call it out for folks who would like to know about it, so stay tuned for a new video on this topic soon!
Tried the e-reader, personally wasn't a fan, I much more prefer a book. That being said, I have to strongly disagree with you stating it's cheaper, in my opinion, e-reader is more expensive if you go the legal route. I don't understand the pricing point of ebooks. How come an ebook is 8 euros and the same book in actual paper is 10 euros? I can't justify the price, even 5 bucks would be far too high. Hell, I've seen ebooks that are the same price as actual books! The physical book has value, I actually own it, I can resell it, I can purchase it new for 10 bucks and when I'm done sell for 5, an ebook you cannot sell, it's 8 bucks down the drain. And then there's the price of the e-reader itself, budget options are 100 bucks, so really you're paying a lot more the legal route. Things do change of course if you get your files through other means.
I wait for ebooks to go on sale... I rarely purchase one for more than $1.99. eReading isn't for everyone--traditional printed books remain by far the most popular format!
Oh, which website do you get those sales from? Because that's a pretty big discount. Are physical books still the preferred option? Because I know mass market paperbacks are sold less often.@@onemanbookclub2585
Amazon! Check out their Kindle Daily Deals pages, subscribe to their Kindle Daily Deals daily emails, and search online for other services that scrub Amazon for Kindle ebook deals that will send you emails. Bookbub is and example of this. There's even a service where you can choose the books you want to track, then they'll email you when the ebook you want hits the price you're willing to pay for it. It's called ereaderiq. Good luck!
I do kindle unlimited. And I definitely save more money than buying actual books!! $12 a month and I read as much as I want. I would spend more than that on 1 book

Thank you for not only describing the differences but “showing” the physical difference. Best review on Kindle models for a longtime!
Hey, thank you so much! Happy reading!
Yea, really. I watched 3 other reviewers and none of them showed the Kindle's actually operating.
I can't believe I watched 30 minutes of a comparison of Kindles. You really have a way to make this stuff interesting.
Lol! Wow, that's quite a compliment!
Haha, true.
Of about six videos that I watched to educate me about which Kindle to buy, yours was the best.
Awesome! I'm so glad it helped!
Thank you that you compared the kindle comparing videos so I don't have to watch any other
You're welcome!
Only 3 minutes in and already I’m thinking the same! ❤

It’s my biggest complaint about Kindles, and the reason I hardly ever use mine.
It would be cool! I wonder if it's an operating system problem? Seems like something they could figure out though, for sure.
100% agree. I had a fire previously and used this feature alot. Just got paperwhite and hate it
I use it on my phone
It is probably due to the screen uses e-ink of some sort and has to refresh the orientation for each adjustment of imaging.
If the screen had a duel screen it could probably highlight with a second screen over the primary screen.
I have the Kindle Paperwhite 16bg and I LOVE IT, I want them all but I haven’t tried any of the others so I can’t say which is my favourite. I love mine though, decorating it makes me really happy.

I also splurged on the Oasis and the only thing I don't like about it is that it's micro-USB. Other than that everything about it is perfect.
I do wish they'd update it!

I can tell a difference, but it's also slight. You'll be happy with either one! The big difference is in the form. The oasis is so nice to hold!

You're welcome! I'm glad!
Really good comparison, thank you. I've had the first version of the paperwhite since it first came out. It's finally having issues holding a charge so I'm looking at a new one. Appreciate the detailed look at them.
You're welcome! Good luck!
Wow, great video! i have a paperwhite, got it 5 years ago, and I had to chuckle everytime you said things like "I love it", "it was life changing", because it happened the same to me. But not everyone understands the passion this device awakes! Hahaha
But by the way, I think another important feature is the warm light option 😊
Thanks for your video, I am going to get an oasis as soon as possible. I had doubts but not anymore 😄🙌
Right on!
Thank you! You have helped me make my decision! I will be buying the Oaisis🎉
If you're in the US you unfortunately won't be able to. Amazon has discontinued the model, hopefully in favor of something awesome in 2025. 😔
Such an informative video, exactly what I was looking for. And your insights are much appreciated! This is going to change my reading game
It absolutely will! Best of luck!
Getting my kindle paperwhite on Tuesday so excited! I have an iPad but I want a dedicated reading device. Thank you!
Awesome! You're welcome!
This is such valuable information. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Thank you for this video. I'm researching which one to buy my mom for her birthday, and your video is, by far, the most helpful.
I'm so glad! Best of luck!
My first kindle was also the keyboard model in 2010, and suddenly in 2017 it stopped charging and I was heartbroken. I loved my keyboard but started looking at the newer options and settled on the Oasis, mainly for the page turning buttons. I’m happy with it but really miss the ease of the keyboard model. Great reviews. Btw, I still have my keyboard hoping for a miracle resuscitation someday.
I've been hearing that it's possible to replace the battery in the Kindle Keyboard. I've been wanting to learn how to do it and make a video about it. Stay tuned!
@@onemanbookclub2585 I did it! I ordered the battery from Amazon and it’s now charged up! The hardest part was getting the back off, I ordered the battery that comes with the tool and I also used a guitar pick to help it along.
Great video! I am definitely the guy with 3 Kindles because I love them all.
The only correction I would suggest is that the Kindle Scribe is not waterproof.
Yep, I misspoke on that!
Thank you. Never had one and was looking into buying one. Not sure yet. Going to go back over this video again but well explained.
Good luck!
Dang. I was ready to buy an Oasis until you said it doesn’t use USBC. I don’t want to have to keep up with additional chargers. Thank you so much for this review!! 🤗
It's really the only down side, and I REALLY wish they'd update it! But if it's a deal breaker, to with the Paperwhite. You won't be disappointed!
This was so helpful! Thank you!
You're welcome! I'm so glad it was helpful!
Thank you, this is very helpful!!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for this in-depth review and analysis! Very helpful for my upcoming Kindle purchase :)
You're welcome! I hope you'll use my link!
Was looking for video like this, you did a great job!
Thanks so much!
That "fat" side to the Oasis and the Scribe make them a no go, for me. I would LOVE to have a larger screen with a balanced bezel.
The Scribe doesn't have that fat side, and the Oasis is discontinued. Paperwhite is your option! But I'm pretty sure Amazon is about to introduce some new options!
This was sooooo super helpful! Thank you!
You're welcome!!
Been searching for a side by side comparison of the screen lighting of the different Kindles! Thanks for this. I use an Oasis (and love it) but preparing for its eventual phase out. I hope I am wrong, but there hasn’t been any real news about it being upgraded. I’m partial to its asymmetrical shape and buttons… but if I have to choose another replacement, I’ll was hoping for a non-flush screen one like the Basic but the difference in the number of LEDs between the Oasis and the Basic will probably be too noticeable to me. But there’s something about a non-flush screen - I remember my first one, the Kindle Keyboard! Wonderful device :) completely sold me on ereading.
Ahhh, the Kindle Keyboard! Changed my life! Yes, I have those fears for the Oasis too, but I've had them for a while now. My thought is: Why haven't they phased it out yet? So I'm a bit hopeful they won't. Not sure what they're waiting on... Phase it out or update it. Just do something!!
@@onemanbookclub2585totally agree. I’ve been wanting to upgrade but at the moment I’ve got the 11th gen PW and some parts I feel like I’m downgrading eg micro-USB Vs micro-USBC
Thank you so much for this comparison…it has been VERY helpful!!
You're welcome!
You are a legend!!! Thank you for this really helped me decide. Your amazing.
Awesome! You're so welcome!
I have oasis and love it . I hope they upgrade it at some point
So do I!
Nice video! I own a Voyage, and in my opinion, it's the best Kindle ever made.
I never had one, but I wish I did!
Do not underestimate the convenience of the small size of the standard Kindle. It is the only one that can fit comfortably in a pocket and takes up very little room in a bag.
Good point, BUT...the Oasis fits perfectly in my back pocket!
I have a KO3 and I just semi-replaced it with the 2022 basic model. I’ve always wanted the smaller form factor, and now it has 300 dpi as well. Hopefully they give it water resistance and warm time within a couple of decades😂
😆
Lining every wall with bookshelves is a current ongoing discussion between my wife and I. Most of my books have been moved into my office with some current books next to my bed.....
Chose your fate wisely, my friend! 😆
I have been team Oasis and love the device. The scibe does interest me, though i think it's due to it's size.
Great to meet a fellow Oasis fan! The Scribe is very good, particularly for it's notebook functionality. I wouldn't like it as a dedicated eReader though, it's too heavy for how I would read on it.
Thank you for your Kindle descriptions. You mentioned that your kindle one with buttons was no longer chargeable. I have this model and found it easy to put a new battery into it.
I'm going to look into that!
I had a KOBO reader way back in the early 2009 era but ended up just using my phone or a tablet after, well fast forward and my eyesight is worsened and migraines plague me if i read this way so i was on the hunt for a kindle that read like a real book since the kindle books are WAY cheaper than in your hand printed seem to be. This video helped me decide ❤ thank you! It will be here tomorrow with a cute little case too. I went with the 11th gen 2022 6 inch model btw. Both for the price and features it had, and the fact it would fit in my purse easily.
Wonderful! I'm so glad you found one that will work for you! Best of luck and happy reading!
@onemanbookclub2585 it's been fantastic so far I've finished 2 books and no headaches!
The only thing that would have made this video better would be a sticky note above each one with the model labeled. I am watching this because I am not familiar with the models yet, so as you compare and contrast, it would be nice to know at a glance which one "this one" that you're talking about is. You could also do this in post in your video editing program if that is easier or if that aesthetic suits you better.
Otherwise, this was very useful. Unfortunately, the Oasis seems to not be offered anymore. D:
Great ideas! Yes, sadly the Oasis is discontinued in the US. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 for something cool to replace it next year!
This is a super helpful video that answered any questions I had about what are the differences between different kindles and which is the best choice for me. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Great video man. Bummer about the oasis. That’s the one I really want! I hope they bring it back
Me too!
This was super helpful, thank you! 💯
You're so welcome!
So kindles have audio?? I always thought they were specifically for ebook not audiobooks!
They don't have their own speakers, but they do connect to one via Bluetooth.
Awesome and thorough reviews. Thank you! I believe I'm going with the paperwhite
Awesome! Happy reading!
Great video! Just one thing I wanted to mention.. you said the Scribe is waterproof and I don’t think that’s true. Wouldn’t want people taking it into the bath and regretting it. 😊
You are correct! I misspoke.
Excellent video! Thank you. Liked.
You're welcome!
Great video. Have you tried kobo at all? I’d be pretty interested in seeing your take on the Libra Colour.
I haven't!
I love my Oasis. Got one in 2020
Hang on to it! They don't make them anymore!
Thank you for this review. I've never had an electronic reading device but I'm ready for one. Just been looking to see what's best.
Good luck!
Thank you for the side by side review! Very helpful. 👍🏼
No problem!
I miss my original kindle
It would have been fun to have one!
With due respect, it's not a waste of money to have the extra storage on the paperwhite. In my case, I have a 16GB paperwhite, and it's almost full. The problem with that is, I don't have a computer to backup the books on my kindle. Many of my books are sideloaded. So, if I were to delete them, I wouldn't be able to retrieve them. Yes, I have many free books which I got from Amazon, but like I said, there are many sideload books I can't retrieve. I also have very limited data, so re-dowloading books would also be a major issue.
Great point. If you side load your books, you'll want more storage!
Can't you save all your sideloaded books on amazon servers too for free by sending them to kindle via email? But yeah I read books with illustrations too so I wished Amazon would stop being cheap and add more storage. It's not like storage is that expensive these days..
@@sunset-inn I'll have to try.
@@sunset-inn I'll have to try that.
@@sunset-inn only problem is I have so many books, I can't remember which is sideloaded, and which not.
Hey thank you for the videos. You can change the battery on your old kindle. I have one from that year, and was still able to purchase the battery last year. It's real easy to do, you can RUclips it. I still have my white kindle from. 2008, I'll never get rid of it. :)
Wow, cool! I never owned one of those!
Christmas 2010 was when I got my first e-reader (B&N Nook) and The Hunger Games was the first series I read on an e-reader (got them all for $5/ea). Best present my dad ever got me. Stuck with Nook until Christmas 2017, finally made the switch to Kindle, and it's my most prized posession. I am looking forward to the day I can get a Scribe.
Our stories are almost the same!!! ❤️
One of the best reviews ❤ I am really curious on the Oasis, my Kindle Basic has been one of my best purchases ever and I am keen to explore more of the e-reader world 😊
Thank you! Sadly, Amazon has discontinued the Oasis, hopefully in favor of something yet-to-be-revealed in 2025. For now, the Paperwhite is a great upgrade! Good luck!
Great information! You helped me make my choice.
Wonderful, I'm so glad!
It is and will always be Kindle Voyage 😜
I never had one! I wish I did!
Damn😩, how does one achive this level of gripping narrating🗿
Skillz 😆
I LOVE my Oasis! Before that I had the Voyage and I loved that one too!
Great to meet another fan!
Hello. I love my voyage. Unfortunately its about to die. I was thinking of getting an Oasis. Just wanted to know what your experience was like? Also, in your opinion should I get an oasis or wait for amazon to launch a new device?
Looking forward to your reply :)
The Oasis remains my favorite device my a large margin. Unfortunately, Amazon discontinued it in the US a few months ago. I believe it's still available outside the US, however. And you can still occasionally find a referb on Amazon too. I expect Amazon will introduce a new color ereader device in 2025, but I don't know anything about it yet to compare it to the Oasis.
Thank you! Super useful video for a Kindle beginner.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video….i opted for the signature edition only because I also have a library of audio books.
Awesome!
Thank you for this comparison!
I love my Oasis, but it’s too heavy for me after about 30m. I was hoping the newer Paperwhite was lighter, since it now has warm tinting. I guess that warm light apparatus just makes everything heavier.
Not lighter, unfortunately. But all kindles are lighter than printed books!
Still using my 2011 gen 4 with the buttons! Thinking aboutbipgrading! This was a great video to help inform me. I now see the joy of an oasis. Lets hope they announce a new version later thia year!
Me too!
Great review, Tks so much…my husband has Amazon prime, can I sign in using his account to read books on my own kindle. Or do I have to have my own Amazon prime account? Same household…
You absolutely can!
I still have my Keyboard too and an older paperwhite with the micro usb. I love my Kindle.
Glad to hear from another fan! ❤️
Many thanks for this excellent and informative video!! 🎉 I have the 1st three devices and considering a Scribe. They do make an Oasis fabric cover that has the same shape of the device so don’t lose the device form factor. Sorry if someone else mention that for I didn’t read all 250+ comments.
My wife has the fabric cover for her oasis, and she likes it.
My 1st kindle was the kindle keyboard! It had a speaker and could read to you in a robot voice. Remember how they hyped the 1st paperwhite? I had to have it, the newest paperwhite is just not friendly to hold in either hand, and I frequently swipe too many pages and lose my place. I think older software allowed you adjust sensitivity to adjust for this. My favorite way to use the new paperwhite is with a case that stands on a table. It’s battery life and slim Denmark it a great travel companion Ergonomically and build quality the Oasis is unmatched. My scribe is basically a dust collector, I’m going to use it for personal study at some point.
Sounds like you've been a long time Kindle fan too! Glad to meet another Oasis believer as well. Best of luck to you!
Awesome video for introduction to these versions!!
Thank you!
I have the Base Kindle and the 11th Gen Paperwhite, both use USB-C.
Correct! Nice to meet another Kindle fan!
I still have the first kindle too.
❤️
You can actually have the page read out loud on a kindle device hooked up to Bluetooth sound device. It’s not as good as a professional audio book but it is possible.
Yes! You are absolutely right. This isn't a feature I call out very much because it's honestly quite complicated to get it to work. But I should call it out for folks who would like to know about it, so stay tuned for a new video on this topic soon!
Between the paperwhite and the oasis, which has the warmer light? I heard the paperwhite has the warmer light.
My experience is that they aren't that different. But it's actually moot if you're shopping...the Oasis isn't for sale anymore!
Best kindle review on RUclips ❤
Wow, thank you!
Great video! Right now I have a kobo but I’m really thinking about making the switch to a kindle. This has been really helpful
Awesome! I'm so glad it was helpful!
Tried the e-reader, personally wasn't a fan, I much more prefer a book. That being said, I have to strongly disagree with you stating it's cheaper, in my opinion, e-reader is more expensive if you go the legal route.
I don't understand the pricing point of ebooks. How come an ebook is 8 euros and the same book in actual paper is 10 euros? I can't justify the price, even 5 bucks would be far too high. Hell, I've seen ebooks that are the same price as actual books!
The physical book has value, I actually own it, I can resell it, I can purchase it new for 10 bucks and when I'm done sell for 5, an ebook you cannot sell, it's 8 bucks down the drain.
And then there's the price of the e-reader itself, budget options are 100 bucks, so really you're paying a lot more the legal route. Things do change of course if you get your files through other means.
I wait for ebooks to go on sale... I rarely purchase one for more than $1.99. eReading isn't for everyone--traditional printed books remain by far the most popular format!
Oh, which website do you get those sales from? Because that's a pretty big discount.
Are physical books still the preferred option? Because I know mass market paperbacks are sold less often.@@onemanbookclub2585
Amazon! Check out their Kindle Daily Deals pages, subscribe to their Kindle Daily Deals daily emails, and search online for other services that scrub Amazon for Kindle ebook deals that will send you emails. Bookbub is and example of this. There's even a service where you can choose the books you want to track, then they'll email you when the ebook you want hits the price you're willing to pay for it. It's called ereaderiq. Good luck!
I do kindle unlimited. And I definitely save more money than buying actual books!! $12 a month and I read as much as I want. I would spend more than that on 1 book
Yes, great point!
