I just impulse ordered another e-reader even though I already have one, so I can relate. The way I see it is, it's a harmless hobby. In fact, reading is really important and it is good for your brain. So I don't feel bad about buying something that helps me read more.
This is a great in depth video, Danielle. Did you know you can change the “name” of your kindle? I noticed your Kindle name is Danielle’s 17th Kindle. I like to name mine after some favorite book characters. My first kindle was a Gen 2. I named it Laura Ingalls Wilder after my favorite childhood author. I have two kindles right now, named Max de Winter and Elizabeth Bennet. Not really an important feature, but it’s a bit fun. Thanks for your channel, I’m a newer sub and am enjoying your content.
Thanks for the video! I now feel much more justified in my totally illogical desire to get myself a new Kindle even though the one I have (from 2021) works PERFECTLY fine. I mean, one could stay on my nightstand while I keep the other one with me in my purse, right?! 😅 Thanks for talking about how you like to set up your fonts, etc. I had totally overlooked the Bold options and now realize how nice it is to make the type stand out a little more for a better reading experience. Your video also made me realize that my device does not have a Bluetooth connection like yours seems to have. I am in Europe so I’m wondering if it’s something Amazon is doing deliberately with devices over here because, as far as I know, I don’t have the option to connect my Kindle to my Audible account. Thanks again! 😊
Yep, I am one of the privileged many that have myopia and presbyopia. So font sizes are a key to successful reading. I have embraced the reading glasses, whether I like it or not. And now a whole new world has opened again for me, the same that I had when I was 19/20 and realized I needed glasses, and I could actually see the blades of grass again. Well, age caught up again, and now that sweet spot of holding a book in is now all blurred, requiring some additional magnification to see it clearly enough. And the less portable option for the visually challenged is to get a monster A4 13.3" tablet reader, like the BOOX family, and have it parked somewhere, and use either a wired headphone in the USB-C port (minus is forward, and plus is backward), or just a bluetooth page flipper device. But yep, I have found the enjoyment of the leanback and read position.
haha we're so much alike. I had said on your Colorsoft video that I was waiting for my Colorsoft but something happened and it was late and they said I could keep waiting since they didn't know where the heck it was but I decided to cancel. I'll wait until next month and order when it's sorted out. But I did order the raspberry paperwhite non-signature edition and I've had it a few days and I love it! I can tell it's a little crisper and faster than my older paperwhite and the raspberry color is beautiful! So even though I'm disappointed waiting on my Colorsoft, I'm happy for the new paperwhite. :)
I never understood customer themes until you explained it. I have downloaded a lot of different fonts and I switch them between books. I find that I have to constantly reset it on this Paperwhite because it defaults to Bookly. Can’t wait to try that!
May I ask if Amazon replaces these ebooks with the edited versions? I mean that there are people editing out the original author's words they feel are bad or unfair. For example Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile. I stopped buying ebooks from Amazon because I cannot be sure I am getting the author's original works. Can you find out if they engage in that or if they leave them pure? I would love to go back to buying for my Paperwhite but for now I have stopped. I am an avid reader. By the way, you are delightful to watch and listen to. So glad the algorithm recommended your channel.

I love the Project Hail Mary reference. That is my most favorite book EVER!!!!!

Happen to me. But it’s a kobo 😂
Gorgeous hair by the way. Hoping to see the next video.

I have three Kindles and a Kobo and now I want another one: I NEED HELP. 😂
I did exactly the same as you
maybe take a minute, or 2, to tidy up the kitchen! so distracting :) I just want to run behind you and put things away :)
😂 If you find clutter and disorder distracting, my channel is NOT the one for you. 😂
She could be using that valuable time to READ! 😄
