It has lag and there is no fix because it is not a phone. The processor inside the Kindle isn't the same as the ones they put in phones . It is an E ink device which has only one purpose. Reading books. So making it as fast as your phone will just make your Kindle's battery to drain much more quickly. Since you haven't owned any previous Kindle, I can definitely tell you that it is much snappier than previous models. It is just something you need to get used to since you are coming from reading on a phone.
This is a very balanced review. Thank you. Thank you, also for turning me onto the Libby app. You learn something every day. Just a couple of FYIs: Glare won't be a problem outside. You can angle the screen so the glare isn't in your face, but changing the angle doesn't affect readability. Also... Kindle doesn't do page numbers, because the amount a text per page differs with font size.
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you learned about Libby-it’s amazing. Great to know about the glare! And that makes sense about the page numbers, I’m just used to the Apple Books app because it adjusts the page # left based on the text size. Thanks for watching and for the info!!
@@Baileyroberson it does have page number just tap at the bottom where it says the hours left or the location if you tap you will see page numbers mines have them
Hi! So yes mine has page numbers as well! It doesn’t have the option to do pages left in the chapter though, just pages left in book (or time left in chapter) unfortunately!
@@Baileyroberson yeah I hate it doesn’t do that but I am glad to because it feels like you are reading faster I like just seeing the percentage that I am at
Ohhh this was so helpful Bailey!! I just have the very basic kindle but honestly find myself reading off the app on my phone more! But I’ve been so interested in getting the Kindle Paperwhite!! ❤
I asked for the kindle for Xmas just because I knew I didn’t want to spend the money if I didn’t like it lol. I didn’t set it up until 3 months later in 2022 but as soon as I did I fell in love! Don’t get me wrong physical books will always have my ❤ but I def enjoy the portability of the kindle
Hey great video. ☺️ A couple of things. 1 The ads you can remove the ads for free by asking amazon in the customer service. I asked and they did it for me. 2. If you touch the bottom left hand corner you can change through the time, page and time left in chapter x
Thank you so much! I plan on chatting with Amazon asap about that. As far as tapping in the bottom left-thanks for that tip! I didn’t know you could do that. Unfortunately though, it still doesn’t have the option of pages left in chapter :( just time left in chp, page #, time left in book, & location!
I used my Christmas money to get a kindle and I absolutely love it! I have no regrets...I have a four year old barnes and noble nook that's old and keeps crashing. I can still use it if I want to read a book on there that I already own but I honestly prefer the kindle, the kindle just has such a better selection. I used to read a lot of YA, which the nook was great for, but the kindle is better for reading adult romance and darker romance I feel like, especially because of kindle unlimited! I also love how the kindle feels in my hands...it's just so light! I loved your review of this, I definitely think it's spot on! Also, I use the libby app with it too and it's great.
That's great, I'm so glad you love it! I love how lightweight it is too. Just so convenient!! Let me know if you have any kindle unlimited recommendations!
@@Baileyroberson The Hooked series by Emily McIntire is pretty good (I’m pretty sure the entire series is on kindle unlimited, though I own the physical copies that I got before I got my kindle.) It’s a dark romance (retellings) so definitely check content warnings before reading!
Two things of note 1) Canadian Kindles don't have the adds in them, so nothing to turn off. 2) some of the items you mention like turning it on and not showing the book cover can be fixed by using a cover it turns the device on and off nicely and hides the book you're reading, I consider it a must have!
I purchased a clear case and a screen protector for my kindle. They protect it from damage, dirt, and fingerprints while allowing visibility of the stickers I placed on the back. I also have a thin pop socket. 😊
I have a paperwhite that I got for Christmas 2015 and I did pay to remove the ads.... but it was a one time fee. I don't remember what it was, I'm sure it has gone up. The 2015 paperwhite is basically the base model they have now, screen size and everything. It's still going strong. I use it every day and the battery life is still great. I have contemplated upgrading to the new paperwhite because it's water proof but it's hard to justify the upgrade since it still works great.
to quote their page "With the waterproof Kindle Paperwhite, you’re free to read and relax in more places-from the beach to the bath. Kindle Paperwhite is IPX8 rated to protect against accidental immersion in up to two meters of fresh water for up to 60 minutes, and up to 0.25 meters of seawater for up to 3 minutes."@@Baileyroberson
Thank you for the review I enjoyed it very much. I use ebook reader pen, so I dont have any fingerprints. Sometimes there is some dust on it but I clean it with microfiber cloth or with a blanket. Libby and kindle unlimited isnt working in my country. If you have a cover you don't have to see the ads.
I’m glad you enjoyed, thank you! And I now opt for the “screen off” option so the ads don’t appear. There may be something similar to Libby offered in your country!
Hi, I just wanted to tell you, that if you text Amazon customer service, they can remove your ads for free. I did it a Gees days ago, and now I can have my book cover as the lock screen❤
I don’t think you mentioned “Vocabulary Builder”. When you’re in a book, go to the menu and select “Vocabulary Builder” and it makes Flashcards of the words you looked up. So when you finish a book you can review the words to make sure you learned them!
I agree with KU so much!!! Like it seem to be a really popular feature but i found almost zero to no book tht i wanna read on it. If it continues to be this way I’d probably dont continue my subscription when my free trial end
Hi is reading on dark mode with lowest brightness works, as I am planning to get kindle basic, and it doesnt have warm light, also I see no point to have lights and then adjust warm lights to make it tinted.
to remove the ads there is a 1 time cost but if you contact support and ask them to remove them for you they sometimes will if you got a lot of books off them. My old kindle i contacted them about the ads and they were nice enough to remove them for free for me. My new kindle came without ads
@@Baileyroberson hopefully you can get them removed for free. And then have the cover of whatever book your reading on the screen. The ads never matched my reading taste and was kind of embarrassing haha
I believe there may be a way to show how many pages are left in the chapter. I think that Maneetpaul Singh has done a video on kindle tips and tricks that mentioned it
It's actually a 1 time fee to remove the ads! It's 20 dollars, and they disappear, which was totally worth it because some of the ads were 😳 and having people see them is really, really embarrassing sometimes
I contacted chat support and told them my kindle was as a gift so I didn’t have a choice to purchase the ad free kindle and they took the ads off for free!
I just click at the top of the kindle so the menus appears, then in the top left there is a back button beside “library.” If you click that, it’ll take you back!
I don't think we have Libby in France but you can definitely borrow ebooks from local libraries...but not with Kindle unfortunately, only Kobo and other brands of ereaders like Vivlio.
Comparing with phones, Kindle is really much better to my eyes😭
It really is!!

Oooo I'm glad to know you like the pop socket! I think that may be my next purchase! Thanks so much for watching :)

What a Xmas present🎁. Awesome review Bailey, looks so easy to read and turn the pages!
It was a great present! And it’s awesome, maybe if you ever get interested in reading, you can get one!
Thank you! One of the best reviews I watched on this device!
Thank you, I’m so glad!

Is it actually waterproof?? I’ve read that it’s just water resistant. I’ve wanted to read while floating in the pool but haven’t bc I’ve been scared!

Thanks for the review Bailey.. I bought the paperwhite based on the review. 🎉
Yay, I hope you love it!!
@@Baileyroberson yet to be delivered.. Will share my opinion once I receive it by the weekend.. Thanks for the detailed review
You’re welcome! I look forward to hearing your thoughts :)
@@Baileyroberson sure Bailey 😊

also u pay a flat fee of $20 to remove adds forever. Or if u call their customer service and ask nicely they might take it off for free
I'm going to try to be nice and get them taken off for free! We will see how it goes haha

Got Amazon Fire 8 for Christmas. I think a better choice than just Kindle. Anyways, I love it.
i just posted my thoughts about my kindle paperwhite :)) i'm gonna do a review once i read another book or two bit so far im loving it so much 🙌🏻✨
So cool!! Hope you’re loving it so far!
I agree with KU so much!!! Like it seem to be a really popular feature but i found almost zero to no book tht i wanna read on it. If it continues to be this way I’d probably dont continue my subscription when my free trial end

Great video,love my kindle,you’ve earned yourself another sub,keep up the good work.
Thanks so much for subscribing! 😊
Your welcome,I’m in the U.K. where I can’t read Libby books on my kindle,but I’m also on 3 months kindle unlimited like yourself,happy reading.
Let me know if you come across any good books on kindle unlimited! Happy reading to you too!

Haha that is my problem!! I love the book cover as the screen feature. Def going to chat w Amazon this week!
I believe there may be a way to show how many pages are left in the chapter. I think that Maneetpaul Singh has done a video on kindle tips and tricks that mentioned it
I’ll definitely check that out, thanks!!
@@Baileyroberson You just have to tap at the bottom left of the screen to see the page numbers (it works for most books, not all of them).
It shows pages left in the whole book, not pages left in chapter, unfortunately!
@@Baileyroberson Yes, there usually is that option too, again, maybe not on all books.
Sadly mine does not have that option :( maybe it’s the version or something!
A very cool review!❤❤
Thank you!!

so true that it is embarrassing lol! but good to know!!
I contacted chat support and told them my kindle was as a gift so I didn’t have a choice to purchase the ad free kindle and they took the ads off for free!
The only way I know how to switch to a different book after finishing one, is to completely turn it off. I need help, but don´t know who to ask.
I just click at the top of the kindle so the menus appears, then in the top left there is a back button beside “library.” If you click that, it’ll take you back!
I have the paper white special edition 11 generation it has the number of pages left at the bottom of the page
Is it the number of pages left in the chapter? Or the entire book?
Does the Libby app work outside the US?
I believe so! You’re just not able to read your Libby books on your kindle outside of the US!
@@Baileyroberson cheers!
I don't think we have Libby in France but you can definitely borrow ebooks from local libraries...but not with Kindle unfortunately, only Kobo and other brands of ereaders like Vivlio.
Aw man! Maybe kindle will expand that internationally eventually. Glad you have other options though!
Thank you.
No prob!
If you ask Amazon Customer Service nicely they will remove the ads for free :)
No way, that’s so good to know! Do I just send an email, or online chat?
@@Baileyroberson online chat!!
Okay I’ll do that! Thank you!!
I can confirm this . I did this through online chat and they have taken them off for free
LOL I just received my kindle 10 minutes ago
That’s amazing 😍 I hope you love it!
You look like that fitness influencer
Which one? Lol
Jeff Bezos must be glad watching this
