That's a normal response time when you turn a page or go back to main page etc. When you search for a certain word on Kindle and you have, let's say, hundreds of books: Kindle has to search all through your books for those specific words and give you results. If you uploaded or downloaded books right before making that video - your books wouldn't be cataloged on your kindle yet and that in turn would slow your kindle significantly and drain your battery. Also I noticed you had a WIFI turned on, so a little advice - if you are not downloading a book at given moment - turn the airplane mode on or forget the WIFI information all together. Also dark mode - I wouldn't be surprised if it shows up in one of the firmware updates, if it haven't already. Page refreshes each time you click it - the black screen is a ink refreshing itself - present an all e-ink devices.
Thank you for this! I've also been thinking of getting a screen protector even though a lot of people told me it's not necessary. Maybe it just depends if you're comfortable with or without it, and I definitely will get one. Also the glare doesn't bother me that much if it's matte, it's just minimal compared to the glassy one
thank you for this review! I have been trying to find the best kindle for myself and this is the most cohesive review I've seen. huge fan of libby, long live the library :)
Loved your video 🥰 I saw a comment saying kindle and other e-readers aren’t environment friendly but actually you’re right! It IS eco-friendly when you read at least 60 books a year. I didn’t know this, thank you!
I have a 4th Gen Kindle and am thinking of upgrading. I'd prefer the black version, but I hate fingerprints. I also don't think I'd like the look of the white one in a darker case. I like the look of your case, but I'm not into stands/holders and want one that's as think as possible! On the subject of Screen Protectors. Bubbles would drive me mad! 😖 My 4th Gen has been protected (until recently) by the OEM Leather Case, which broke, when I tried to take it off. But, I've had it for 11 years and there's not a scratch on the screen.
i found out that my favorite story (sounan desu ka- are you lost-- is available on kindle), so i'm thinking about getting one. i'm into manga, (got nurse hitomi's monster infirmary). how much did yours cost? can you get youtube?
You should have just got a used paperwhite 3 in white. It preforms faster and is more crisp than even my brand new paperwhite 4. My paperwhite 4 runs just like your version. It’s so slow and glitchy.
1:47 finally, someone who acknowledges that there’s a weird glitch in kindles 😭 i dont have a kindle yet but all the videos ive watched about it seem to have that black glitch. yet not even one person has mentioned that the screen does that. i thought it was just because it’s being filmed on a camera or something and that you can’t actually see the glitch in real life 💀 edit: i have a kindle now and i now know that the “glitch” thing is called “page refresh” ! i was just clueless about e-ink displays when i commented this before because nobody ever mentions it
@@squirlywirl thanks for this! i was just starting to learn more about e-readers when i commented that, but now i know it’s just the page refreshing :)
I tell anyone who has anything with a white plastic shell to keep it away from sunlight. It will turn yellow over the years ☠️💦 E-readers are slow. My Paperwhite 4, Oasis 1, and Oasis 3 are also slow. It’s the nature of the e-reader. The battery for the Kindle 10 is waaaaaay better than all the other models as a result of this hahah. It’s a trade-off - the faster your device, the more battery power it will use 🔋💦
Many report that their kindles have not turned yellow. It really depends on the type of plastic that is used. I've had mine for almost a year and is still looks perfectly white. Granted, that may not be enough time for it to turn yellow, but I doubt that this would be an issue with kindles.
Just so you know, on the claim in this video than a kindle is more eco-friendly statement, its actually way LESS environmentally friendly using a digital device, compared to a traditional book with paper.... By the time you factor in all the mined materials and the environmental destruction involved in that mining process, plus the emission due to the electricity used to charge and use it for the whole life of the product, it causes way more harm to the planet in the longterm. I'm not here to say don't get a kindle, I'm just stating facts and correcting the mis-information stated in the video.
@@huh735 i dont need to google, im a well researched person, who reads plenty of scientific studies on this matter.... to just google is lazy... Where do you get your statement from?...you say "it depends how many books you read"... Ok how many books do you need to read for it to offset the environment impact?... I would love to hear your argument for this... Have done sone any research on this, or just talking out your rear end..?
@@jkjkjkkjkjk If you're so well researched, why do you just state claims without backing them up with legitimate sources? Let's see them. If you're going to make an argument, go all the way; don't just half-ass it.
@@blue3374 lol.. do you actually need any?!... Is there even one statement i made that you actually deny is true?.. lol .... I'm not sure which ones you agree with, and which ones you think are not legitimate facts.... Lol.... I can easily back up anything i say, so how about you tell me which of things I've mentioned, that you embarrassingly deny??... Cmon which one of the statements that i said, did u think is not true.. and if you think there are more than one, that you embarrassingly deny... Let's go one at a time... C'mon individually list them.. and ill back them up....
@@blue3374 well, c'mon blue, why'd you get all shy all of a sudden?... which claim that i made do you dispute?.. lol.. Cmon, I'll happily provide evidence, i just need to see what points you ridiculously deny...?
hi! just wanted to clarify. did you mean that there's dark mode on the basic kindle now after a new update? (currently still waiting for my basic 10th gen kindle to arrive) :)

I am really happy you helped me decide to get one. It just opened another door in the world of reading. Thank you!!!
Of course!
i lovee your simple makeup! it looks so soft and natural
Thank you so much! It's the look I'm going for 😌

Oh and I also use a stylus 😂 glad to know it's not just me lol

Love the review! So off topic, but can you mention where you got your lights in the background? I’m obsessed with your room!
Thank you! They're from Amazon, here's the link amzn.to/3PSGUJu :)
Awesome video! Kindle is awesome! I can read while rucking and I can change the size of the font when I get exhausted! Amazing machine.
Subbed! :)
Planning to buy one as well and this model is just dirt cheap and does the needed job
love your version as tech RUclipsr, great vid😊
You should have dark background in font settings also the dark flashing is page refresh lovely video btw I my self use a box poke 3 and I’m loving it
I have a Boox Poke 2 Color, and I also love using it.
Hey! The kindles arent supposed to be functional to do much but read! It should be slow
I have a 4th Gen Kindle and am thinking of upgrading. I'd prefer the black version, but I hate fingerprints.
I also don't think I'd like the look of the white one in a darker case.

On the subject of Screen Protectors.
Bubbles would drive me mad! 😖
My 4th Gen has been protected (until recently) by the OEM Leather Case, which broke, when I tried to take it off.
But, I've had it for 11 years and there's not a scratch on the screen.
The baseline model Kindle 11 gen 2022 release has dark mode now.
I like the background!
i found out that my favorite story (sounan desu ka- are you lost-- is available on kindle), so i'm thinking about getting one. i'm into manga, (got nurse hitomi's monster infirmary). how much did yours cost? can you get youtube?

Try downloading an audiobook in it! Hahah. It’s like a 56K modem in there 🔋💦
It’s the charm of a slow, glitchy device 😎👍🏽
I have a Kindle paperwhite, and a Kindle basic in white like in the video.
Question do you have to pay for the books individually or does everything come with it
you have to pay for the books but getting kindle unlimited helps alot

it's not a glitch. the screen is just refreshing so that no ghosting is left when you return to your book. it's just the nature of e-ink displays.
@@squirlywirl thanks for this! i was just starting to learn more about e-readers when i commented that, but now i know it’s just the page refreshing :)
does it even not change the background to cream colour?
YOUR smile is PERFECT, other then that I like kindle
other than that i know what u doin'!! 🥒

MAYBE A Pouch OR A BAG IS MORE convenient? I WONDER. IT'S JUST I DIDN'T LIKE THEM ON MY TABLET🤷
Nice review.
I have the same version of kindle but I charge it almost everyday 😭
Hiya Maya😍😍😍😍😍
Some guys don’t understand the limitations of e ink technology.
Her: when you search it takes forever to go
Me looking at my d01100 that takes like 10 minutes to search something😭😭
DON'T YOU FIND THE COVER inconvenient? Especially WHEN READING IN BED?
OMG She's Beautiful LOL
Aren't you bothered with the resolution?
Surprisingly no, you adapt to it really fast

Actually, it depends on how many books you read. Do your research or at least google it before spreading the “facts”.
