Gaby, I always enjoy your video so much. ❤ I would love to see this video idea that you mentioned about reading on your kindle for a week and comparing reading on a kindle versus reading a physical book. That sounds so fun.
Kindle is either life changing, or not … for me, and my adhd it’s addicting, it says… 3 min left in this chapter, 7 min left, or whatever, and my brain is like… yeah! And before I know it, I’m 75% into the book! It’s life changing, for some 😊😊
I used to be physical book only but since I have had my kindle - I can fly thru books faster, it's lighter and less bulky to carry(always have to have a book with me no matter what) and so much cheaper. If I love the book i buy it. Saves me a lot of money. A kindle vlog would be awesome!
Kindle was a game changer for me. If you buy the audiobook with the ebook, it highlights the words as you go. Be prepared to spend double though because I have a kindle but still buy physical copies of the books I absolutely LOVE.
I traded in my 2019 Fire for a new one into the Black Fri sale, it was only like $47 with the case I chose. I love the reading challenge they do every quarter; it's really helped me get through books and meet my goals. I'm at like a 440-day reading streak and don't want to break it 😂
i looove kindles, i've had one since lik 2011, and my most recent one for like 10 years and just had to upgrade to the new one too and love how much lighter/thinner it is with a bigger screen. i totally feel like i read faster on kindle too
I'm super excited for your Kindle Unlimited era! I'm usually always reading at least 1 thing from there (gotta get my money's worth lol). I feel like it used to mostly just be romances on there but in the past year or so Amazon has actually added a decent amount of thrillers/horror
omg my kindle just arrived this week, I also ordered it on black friday, when I bought it only the signature edition was available, but even though it was more money I don't regret it, I really love it.
Congrats on your new kindle! I’m currently reading I’ll Be Alone for Christmas by Kristin Mulligan, it’s a really good holiday thriller. It’s on kindle unlimited, highly recommend!
I always wonder why more book tubers don’t read ebooks. I read all ways but the convenience and lighting makes me an avid ebook reader. Kindle unlimited has saved me so much money. Great haul
Yay I’m so glad you’ve joined Kindle girlie gang. If you haven’t already, you can link your Libby to your Amazon account and deliver ebooks directly to your kindle!
Congrats on the new Kindle!! Btw for the kindle if you aren’t sure if you want to use a pop socket or not you can make it so you can use MagSafe accessories. That way you can easily take it on and off. That is what I did on mine and it’s been great. Especially when traveling with the kindle it’s nice to be able to take the pop socket off so it fits more easily in my bag and then I can snap it back on when I want to read. I followed Colter Reed’s Let’s make a MagSafe kindle case video to set it up.
I would suggest checking out the audiobooks available with KU. The dictionary is a great tool. Set a budget. You can be inundated with 99 cent to less than $5 books.
I’m sooooo excited that you got your first kindle….i absolutely love my kindle and I constantly get all kinds of books from the Libby app which saves so much money and I also have kindle unlimited as well!!!!😊
I have a Kindle Fire, and I was able to hook it up with my Libby app so I could borrow ebooks from the library. I think you can do it with the Paperwhite, too. I don't have Unlimited, but I borrow ebooks all the time.
I never noticed it was an alligator on the cover, fully thought it was an island. Welcome to the kindle club!!! I actually don't have a pop socket lol and completely agree I read so much faster on my kindle app and kindle!
Thank you for sharing your nails and unboxing. The new Alice Feeney looks really good! I haven't heard of the Invisible strings book and I immediately put it on hold at my library.
Personally I got a Kobo Colour instead to annotate my library books because not a fan of Amazon generally nor specifically in this round of ereader launches
KU Recs: -The Final Scene by Steph Nelson - Jan read this and it is one of her faves of the year This is Where We Talk Things Out by Caitlin Marceau - see above -Amazon Original short stories -Abby Jiminez -Ania Ahlborn -Devney Perry -Elsie Sodergren -The Beartown series by Fredrik Backman -Silvia Moreno Garcia has a couple short stories -T. Kingfisher has some short stories too
I think everyone is forgetting that one can read in color on a Kindle Fire tablet. Graphic novels are all in color too. They are cheap compared to the colorsoft. I’ve been reading on one forever.
So glad I watched this before I submitted my amazon order of christmas presents, that taylor swift poetry book is the perfect gift for someone I was struggling with.
There are a lot of great KU horror books. Honestly, it’s hard to get recommendations until you’ve checked out a good amount. Then it will start recommending stuff to you often that is more likely to appeal to you. Here are some of my fave KU reads: A Song of Sin and Salvation (romance), Magnum Opus (horror short story), Twentieth Anniversary Screening (horror/ slasher), Bloody Summer (Carmen Maria Machado), Food Fright (horror super campy and fun), Hairspray and Switchblades (if you like V Castro), Dirty Heads (queer coming of age cosmic horror), Woom (if you want some extreme horror), Man Fuck This House (satirical horror), all of Happiness by Shuzo Oshimi is on KU except 1 volume, Halloween Fiend (monster horror), Creature! (Horror manga with all volumes on KU), and Mars (the entire manga is on KU if you want to try some old school Shojo romance that was super fundamental to the genre).
I have a kindle but I rather to always have a paperback book but I love always to have my kindle with me because I’m always ready on any delays, I have so many UNLIMITED books loaded.
Need a thriller arc vlog!!! and now that you have a kindle you should try out netgalley for arcs, it’s such a nice way to get arcs without clogging up your shelves with books you might not like haha
I'm fully assimilated into the Kindle Borg! 😂 I've been using Kindle's every since they first came on the market. I not a physical book hater but my eyes just can't handle the print size and line spacing in most physical books. Not only do I love the ability to be able to customize the font, print size and line spacing on the Kindle, it's a must have feature for me to read comfortably. When you get older, you'll better understand what I'm saying! LOL 😝
I've had a Kindle for years, but I've never bonded with it. As a lover of actual books, a screen just doesn't do it for me. I want to see and feel my books, I want to smell the pages, and enjoy turning them. So yeah, I'm a no when it comes to Kindles. 😂
Im so glad ur enjoying ur kindle welcome to the kindle girlee club and i have a few books that are on kinlde unlimited 1. How my neighbor stole Christmas 2. My December darling 3. My favorite holidate 4. The boys of tommen series 5. The nightmare before kissmas And everything else thats on my kindle i have bought 😂
You would loveeeeee Loreth Anne white! She’s my fave kindle unlimited author, her drowned girls series is great, detective, thriller vibes would recommend, however please read TW first as there’s some dark themes 💖
Queen, the Dirty Diana book is based off a fiction podcast preformed by Demi Moore! with quest stars every week like Lena Dunham. It's definitely spicy. Podcast called "dirty Diana" its worth a listen.
Not a fan of reading on screens. I had a kindle when they first came out years ago. I did like the highlighter feature and being able to click on a word I didn’t know and see the definition.
I would definitely be interested in the kindle reading vlog!!
OMG!!! Me tooo! ❤❤❤❤

Yes please do kindle videos!! I think you’ll keep your unlimited after the 3 months it’s so worth it

I love being able to borrow books from the library on my kindle. My library is small so there’s not a whole lot available physically.
Kindle dictionaries are great! Since starting on them I've read literally dozens of foreign books that I couldn't even attempt before!

Would love to see a vlog of reading on the kindle. I too subscribed to KU for me it was 99c for 3 months (In Australia) I’m loving it so far.
I always wonder why more book tubers don’t read ebooks. I read all ways but the convenience and lighting makes me an avid ebook reader. Kindle unlimited has saved me so much money. Great haul

Yesss thanks for reminding me! I just set this up today 🤩

Kindle videos are a must! I love my kindle to access libby 🥰
I don’t know if you follow Chandler Ainsley, but she has a TON of videos on good KU romances!
Cherry Blossoms After Winter has been adapted into a drama as well.
I would love to see more videos with your kindle, i got mine a couple months ago & love it.
I just got a paperwhite too :D I`m so excited for you too :D
Would love more Kindle videos! Definitely interested in a vlog with your thoughts on reading on the Kindle!! Loved this video :)
I’m sooooo excited that you got your first kindle….i absolutely love my kindle and I constantly get all kinds of books from the Libby app which saves so much money and I also have kindle unlimited as well!!!!😊
To notice the crocodile on the Stephen King book took me a minute to notice it too. I thought it was a little island lol. Very crafty 😄
I have a Kindle Fire, and I was able to hook it up with my Libby app so I could borrow ebooks from the library. I think you can do it with the Paperwhite, too. I don't have Unlimited, but I borrow ebooks all the time.
Lucinda Berry, A. R. Torre, and Noelle W. Ihli are 3 thriller authors I love with books on KU!
I never noticed it was an alligator on the cover, fully thought it was an island. Welcome to the kindle club!!! I actually don't have a pop socket lol and completely agree I read so much faster on my kindle app and kindle!

Love my Kindle so much!! So glad you’re liking yours so far, would love more of your thoughts 🩵
Have to get a kindle case, when you close the case it automatically shuts it down. Love it !
One of my fave little touches as well!

I love my kindle. Would love to see a video about what you have read on your kindle ❤❤❤
Excited to see when you get to a few of theses books as a lot of these where on my radar already (mostly the new releases for 2025) 🎉

Congratulationsss on the new kindle😍❤️❤️

Thanks for all the recommendations! I’ll definitely check some of these out! 🥰
I would love future videos on your kindle reading experience. KU recommendations would be great also.
Whatever you do DON'T read the Boyfriend 😅 yes to more kindle videos 🙂
Hey Gabby!!! Congrats on your first kindle I hope you enjoy it I got three myself and I recommend the boyfriend on KU
I LOVED The Paper Palace!!
I would love to see a kindle versus traditional book reading vlog. Do you read faster or more on a kindle or the book?
Such a shame we still don‘t get Book of the Month here in Europe. 😢
My mail service "misdelivered" my book of the month box. So someone is really enjoying a box of 3 hard cover books :(
Lucinda Berry! I’m pretty sure she’s on kindle unlimited in the US too!
You unboxing the Kindle was so satisfying to watch! I would love to see Kindle content even though I don’t have one...might convince me😊
I have a kindle but I rather to always have a paperback book but I love always to have my kindle with me because I’m always ready on any delays, I have so many UNLIMITED books loaded.
The Kindle works great with the libby app!
Need a thriller arc vlog!!! and now that you have a kindle you should try out netgalley for arcs, it’s such a nice way to get arcs without clogging up your shelves with books you might not like haha
That’s so true! I haven’t used my netgalley in forever haha 🤩
Need invisible strings 👀
I loved the boyfriend! I think Frieda is great. Quick reads.
The page turner remote is a fun accessory

Same!
I hadn’t heard about Invisible Strings, that sounds so cool!
Happy that you are a Kindle girlie now 😊❤
I loved Beautiful Ugly! I got an early copy too!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Emily McIntire’s Never after series is my favorite on KU. it’s fractured retellings of Disney movies.
I would love to see kindle vlog
Im so glad ur enjoying ur kindle welcome to the kindle girlee club and i have a few books that are on kinlde unlimited
1. How my neighbor stole Christmas
2. My December darling
3. My favorite holidate
4. The boys of tommen series
5. The nightmare before kissmas
And everything else thats on my kindle i have bought 😂
Kindle is so worth it! Majority of the books can be listened if you have an Alexa home speaker. “Hey Alexa, read me my kindle book.” 🙃
When Book of the Month takes their logo off the front cover I will think about subscribing.
Have you seen the Goodreads Choice awards winners? The horror section surprised me the most.
I too own a kindle.. And I love that my fav booktuber has one now
You would loveeeeee Loreth Anne white! She’s my fave kindle unlimited author, her drowned girls series is great, detective, thriller vibes would recommend, however please read TW first as there’s some dark themes 💖
Omg you got a Kindle!!!❤
Meh the yellow band is barely noticeable on the color soft . If I didn’t hear about it I wouldn’t have noticed :)
There’s ALWAYS DOING THAT DEAL
I’m not sure if you’ve read anything by Rebecca Yarros but I loved The Last Letter & In The Likely Event by her on KU! 💗
Hell is A Really Small Place is a good kindle unlimited book 😮
Queen, the Dirty Diana book is based off a fiction podcast preformed by Demi Moore! with quest stars every week like Lena Dunham. It's definitely spicy. Podcast called "dirty Diana" its worth a listen.
Oh that’s so cool!!
You should start dark romance on kindle it changed my life
I was waiting for the unboxing video.. Since I saw the insta feed
Lucenda Berry I rec for KU
Kindle content!
I love my Paperwhite I don’t think you need colour on a Kindle
The good 😊👍
Not a fan of reading on screens. I had a kindle when they first came out years ago. I did like the highlighter feature and being able to click on a word I didn’t know and see the definition.
OMG, hook me up with the link to that Taylor Swift poetry book please so I can order it Gabby AND Society Of Lies was SO GOOD!
Get a cover for it
You should upload a vid on your asmr channel 😢
I love ku.
🩵
Hey Gabby, I was wondering if you were planning to do an asmr video on your asmr channel kinda unboxing or going through the eras tour book 💗
Karen Slaughters backlist is there. IMHO FMC is just absolute garbage!
