I love the questions that have been answered in your video. As someone who loves to read and annotate, the kindle is kind of lackluster to me after a while. the differences between the ipad mini 6 in terms of battery life was also clearly discussed! Great video! I've been reading on my iPAD PRO too because I take notes and sometimes make annotations, but it's too heavy.
Thank you! I got away from reading on an iPad Pro for the same reason. It's nice for textbooks and journal articles to have the larger screen but it's just never been very comfortable to read on for very long.
Great video! I've used both the iPad Air and iPad Mini as primary e-reading devices in the past. Then I went to Kindle Oasis, and now I cycle between iPad mini 6, Kindle Oasis, and Kindle Scribe depending on location, mood, and type of book. I honestly enjoy them all, however the iPad Mini has a slight edge for me because it's Kindle App provides a more feature-rich experience than the actual Kindle (e.g. immersive reading option, searching esoteric terms on the web when the Kindle dictionary doesn't recognize it, and the dual page format which is available on the Scribe but not other Kindles). I also enjoy using Apple's Book app at times, and I find its user interface superior to Kindle's. I'm waiting for the AI features myself before deciding whether to upgrade or not. I'm also interested in the new Kindle Coloursoft, to see if it may be a iPad mini contender when comparing e-reading experiences.
Thank you! I agree about the Kindle app experience being preferred to what's on the Kindle. I just saw the new Kindle Scribe that's releasing soon. What do you think about the Scribe and the updates that are coming?
@@FindYourFlow I like the added capability to place notes/stickies directly within the pages of the books, however it’s not as intuitive as other comparable devices that you allow to write wherever you want (on the margins, above the text, etc) like an actually book. I’m also not a fan of the new white border, so I’ll likely stick with my current Scribe, hoping another color will release in the future without the white border.
@@KindlesandKicks the stickies is a really cool feature. Seems like it's better than the first Scribe in taking notes. I use Readwise so much with ebook notes that I probably wouldn't use it much if those notes couldn't sync.
@@KindlesandKicks it's so great for sparking to memory useful ideas for content too. I sync everything with Notion so I can see the content of books and highlights in seconds and also use Notion AI to pull on that information for content I'm creating.
I hadn't heard of ReadEra before but just did a search and there is an iPad app for ReadEra. I'm not sure if you would log in to your premium account or how that works. I don't see a separate ReadEra Premium app. I think that the premium version is still in development.
I haven't even watched the video, but guys, the answer is NO. The iPad mini (or any other tablet) is not a substitute to an e-reader with e-ink. It's simply not. Reading with e-ink won't harm your eyes while the iPad will do it for sure. Do you only read books? Go for the Kindle (or Kobo, or another good e-reader brand). Do you read comics and graphic novels? Then go for the iPad, because there's no better option in that segment nowadays. The iPad is better for color, Kindle and other e-readers are better for books. Hope that helps.
@@demajoseph2144 thanks for sharing your thoughts. On the one hand you’ve got the book-only crowd leaning towards e-readers and on the other hand there’s the desire for colour and performance for more graphic content.
@@FindYourFlow I like the customisation, especially after the latest update. You can now reduce margins! Also there are more fonts (Canela is my favourite) and more reading modes. It’s also easier to open ePubs from other sources. I’ve removed the DRM from my kindle books using Calibre and all my books are now on Apple Books.
@@JoseManuel1983 The fonts in Apple Books are really nice. I hadn't really thought about that being the magic but that's one of the things that makes it feel more like reading on paper. Agreed that opening ePubs is way easier too. Although I don't mind using calibre to get them into Kindle.
@@andyboy2k you can very easily (and legally) remove DRM from your kindle books using Calibre and then just open them using Apple Books. Having said that, I’ve been using my Kindle Paperwhite a lot more (eye issues) for the last couple of days, so I’m back on Amazon right now 😅
Is it time to replace your Kindle with an iPad? Let me know your thoughts.

Does it have ReadEra Premium?

I have transitioned completely to reading on my iPad mini 6 and couldn’t be happier. I also much prefer Apple Books to Kindle 😊
Right on! What is it about Apple Books that you like more?

@@JoseManuel1983 interested in your views in this please. Thinking of Apple Books and moving from Kindle what did you do with any Kindle books ?

NO.
