Hi there! My name is Maneetpaul Singh, but my friends call me Maneet (pronounced muh-neet).
I'm based out of NYC and make RUclips videos about Kindles and other digital reading tools. Think of me like the MKBHD of books.
I'm also a Sikh with a love for blue turbans. If you want to learn more about Sikhi and why I look the way I do, check out this short documentary I made: • THEY CALLED ME OSAMA (...

THANKS FOR WATCHING! You know what's funny? You can probably read most of my book in the time it takes to watch this entire video 😅 Be sure to grab your copy on Amazon: geni.us/kANyP2M
Hi Maneetpaul!. Just a short question: I don't have the option to "export notes" on my kindle paperwhite 11. Do you know why I don't have the option?
@@ElEdenaRuh That's really strange. Are you able to access your notes at read.amazon.com/notebook ?
@@Maneetpaul No. Must be because my e-books are no original versions. What do you think?
And I can't use the "xray" option either...
@@ElEdenaRuh That is why. The book has to be purchased from Amazon for these features to work.
This is the most usable step-by-step instruction on how to use Kindle Paperwhite in the entire RUclips. Thank you very much!
I just want to say thank you for your content! You are hands down the most knowledgeable and most organized kindle reviewer! I just binged a bunch of your vids and they are the best. I was looking for a lot of technical details (file formatting conversions, etc) and I swear you’re the only one who covers it! 👏🏼👏🏼
Just got your book and purchased a Kindle. Thanks to your clear reviews and instructions I am on my way to becoming a bookworm. Your videos are the best I've watched. I just started reading in my 50's and I am trying to read as much as I can!
Thanks so much for buying my book! I'm wishing you the best of luck with your reading journey. I have no doubt that you'll be a bookworm in no time :)
I have a paperwhite and I use the disable touch screen all the time. Swiping is still active. This is really helpful if you are using your Kindle around water or children. Both of these things happen to me all the time. It's a critical feature and when it's not well understood since you can still use the touch screen to swipe pages forward and backwards.
Thank you for the wonderful setup guidance. I bought my first Kindle after holding off buying one for ages. Love your channel... You really helped with my decision. Keep up the good work.
Another cute font option is the ability to add your own fonts to the Kindle. If you use the USB cable to connect to your computer, you can navigate to a fonts drawer in the root directory and there's a readme file in there with further instructions. Basically, you copy over a compatible font into the directory and it'll pop up as another Font Family option in the Aa settings.
In my case, I like the EB Garamond font and it looks pretty sharp on the screen.
I could practically weep with gratitude at having found this video. I've had my Kindle Paperwhite for a few years now, but never really got to grips with how to use it. Even some of the things in this video were hard for me - I didn't fully grasp how to get into a new book or stop reading one and move to another one if I wanted to read more than one book at the same time... Thank you so much for this comprehensive and really valuable video. I've subscribed to your channel, and liked this as well as saved it. Thanks again!
So glad you found this video helpful, Amanda! Thanks so much for subscribing 🙏🏽
Regarding your Tipps to remove the Ad's I contacted Amazon customer service and used instructions you wrote in your book. And it worked. The removed the Ad without any costs. Thx a lot!😊
Glad to hear this still works!!
Thank you so much! Your videos are amazing and help me with the most basic yet needed options for my new Kindle. I can't wait to read your books!
Hi! I just wanted to thank you for all the kindle content. It made me so excited for my e reader again. So much, that I finally caved and bought a newer kindle paperwhite. My old one from 2013 just wasn't cutting it anymore. ❤
Great video! It’s organized and the way you present it shows the knowledge you’ve gained from reading all those books ! Congratulations on your book(:
Your videos are so clear and, and you are an amazing teacher!! Thank you for taking the time to share your Kindle Wisdom!! I have watched several Kindle related videos, and your, hands down are the BEST!!! 🎉🎉🎉
This was such an excellent video that it prompted me to buy and read your book, and then sign up for the Readwise offer. You have supercharged my motivation to start reading more intentionally. Your concise summary is extremely easy to read and implement. Thank you for not getting bogged down in a lot of unnecessary stuff! Outstanding!
Wonderful video. I’ve taken a quick look at your book now and like what I see. I’ll read the whole thing later this week.
I wasn't very sure which e-reader I should get, and through watching your videos I've gotten a likening for the Kindle Paperwhite. As I'm new to reading on Kindle and e-readers in general, this video was incredibly interesting! Learned a lot.
Thank you for your very detailed and easy to follow tutorial. Now I can finally navigate a book correctly without getting lost in the menus and starting all over in frustration.
Favorite hidden feature that wasn’t mentioned:
Pinch to decrease Font size & Spread to increase!
Excellent Video, thank you.
Such an excellent video, incredibly helpful. Thank you!
SO Helpful, thank you! I've had my Kindle for only a few months, but have learned some fun new tips from your video! :)
I just got my kindle and I followed your video entirely, very thorough and easy to follow. Thank you!
Wow. I’ve been using a kindle for almost 3 years and learned so many new things from this video. Subscribed 🎉
Thank you for this tutorial! I purchased a Kindle a couple of years ago (32g, on sale during Prime Day) and almost immediately began having eye problems. 2 years and 2 surgeries later, I can read again and am having to relearn the features of this device. Oh, and I bought your book. Nice little read.
I really appreciate you for this video. I just got a kindle paper white last month and I’ve been so frustrated with it. I’m not super tech savvy, but I usually do ok. This kindle is my first and it tripped me up honestly. This video taught me all I need to know to start reading frustration free. Thank you so much. I love your videos and will keep supporting. 🙏🏼
Edit: You helped me decide to get a kindle as well so we go way back. lol
Thank you for this tutorial. It’s really helpful and it helped me a lot!
This video was so helpful! I have a much older Kindle and can now see what features I’m missing out on. Definitely going to upgrade!
Hi Mannetpaul, You are really very good in explaining for a novice like me. Very clear, simple and easily understandable. Please keep making more videos. Thanks
Les

Thank you this has been very useful to me!
Explanations are always clear, well organized and easy to follow.
Hello Sir I bought kindle for the time after watching your videos . Your inspired me to get into book reading. Thank you so much. Love from India.
TYSM you tutorials are amazing
This is such a great video guide for those new to kindle or those who want to get more from their device. Totally with you on the browser. I occasionally touch on that option, just to remind myself of what life was like back in the dial up modem era of the internet! 🤓
Haha! Love that!
Love your vids!!!
Thanks, I could not get back to home screen and you fixed it for me. Thank you.

Exremely helpful video. Thank you.

Good tutorial, thanks!
sdfGreat video, thanks!!! Just bought my paperwhite, its arriving in a couple of hours, I want to use it for reading several science papers in pdf, can you do a tutorial for .pdf and other kind of archives interaction with kindle??? thanks!!!!!
Fabulous explanation .. thank you so much
Thanks brother! Much better with my first kindle :)
Another great video - if you ever come across the question of Bluetooth not showing up, I just spent some quality time with Tech Support - here in Canada, Audible will not play on Kindle. So if you have your device registered to the Canadian Amazon Store - you won't get Audible as an option.
This was a fun discovery for me :)
All my eBooks are on the Canadian Store, All my Audible books are on the US store - so my Kindle is eBooks only (which is okay, because I'm like you and prefer to listen on my phone and read on my Kindle).
I just thought you'd like to know as you may get a question on this from some confused Canadian trying to listen to Audible books on their Kindle.
what a super useful video, thanks so much!
You're very welcome!
Thank you for your tutorial.
Very helpful. I find myself gravitating to my iPad mini 6, but bought the 2021 kindle paper white and I just need to use it more. It just feels cluttered compared to the kindle app on iPad. But I’m going to make some collections to help with the clutter feel and use some of these tips and tricks. I love the kindle I need to reach for it more
I hope you enjoy your Kindle more! I prefer it a lot more than reading on an iPad. Being able to focus without distractions is very helpful.
Thank you for the thorough overview of the Kindle Paperwhite. I am thinking of purchasing one.
Pretty good and very detailed tutorial thank you!
Just one question please. If I am on page 150 in a book and want to go back to the start, or lets say page 5, or chapter 3, what is the best way?
Excellent- this is my first e reader and the video was so helpful.
Congratulations! Happy reading!
You are the best ! Thank you so much! Amazon should hire you right away and you should be their expert on the kindle!
Great video and I bought your book! I'm looking forward to recommending it to others.
Hope you enjoy it! Thanks so much!
Very good demo only thing missing is how to get a book you borrow from the Library onto your kindle

Thank you for a very thorough introduction.
Just got my kindle paperwhite today o bought the kids one this is my first new kindle I've always bought used ones so glad I have new felt nice opening a new one brand new with no marks on it a treat for me lovely to that a case came free as ive always paid xtra for cases not this time so happy.
Thanks!
Thanks for the tips, I also just discovered that the page turn animation doesn't work if I have dark mode on. Which is sad as dark mode is great but not having the page turn animation is worse.
Very nicely things are explained….👍
Hello!
Kindle paperwite 2021 and 2022 suports default epub format...?
Tank you!
What do you use to display your e readers on the shelf?
Excellent thank you 👍🏻🇬🇧
in most of your videos you always have a cover for your Kindle. I just bought my first kindle and i am not sure, wheather i should buy a cover or not. I like the minimalist design of the kindle and do not want to clutter it up with a Case - but would you say that a cover is definitely necessary for protecting the screen? or is the screen sterdy enough? (i got the paperwhite signature)
ps: i absolutely love your videos!
Thank you 😸
On my kindle paperwhite 11 i do not have that household setting. How to share books then?
2:51 - the library tab did have a page num/page total where you could jump to a particular page. Is there a way to display this now?
If you side load books can you choose the type you want it filtered on?
Thanks again for the great tutorial! One question, is there a way to disable the slider in the library on the right hand side? I just want to scroll by swiping
Thanks for watching! I don’t think there’s a way to disable that slider as of right now
I have tons of book on my google drive, can i transfer it to a kindle device?
Hi! Good video! I think Amazon doesn't allow annotations on ebooks for an additional reason: PDF documents have a fixed layout, unlike EPUB and MOBI documents (EPUB 3.x documents may have a fixed layout if designers wish so, though).
In Australia, the Paperwhite comes with no ads, but costs $239 (approx $170 USD), so I guess that removal is already built into our price.
I got my first Kindle last year (PW 11th Gen) after your in-depth Oasis/PW comparison helped me settle on it. Still loving it!
Ah, yes that makes sense. I imagine a lot of countries are like that. So glad you found that video helpful and that you're enjoying your Kindle!
I went from a kindle 2010 model lol to the 2021 model so it’s a huge difference
Is There a way to choose the portrait Side please?
Thank you, that is a lot of useful information. My only addition would be that staying in Airplane mode helps to minimize the amount of microwave radiation in your environment (WiFi is in the microwave band). since the kindle is within arms length of your face/brain, extraneous WiFi is good to avoid. You can certainly do a sync whenever necessary by turning airplane mode off for a moment and pressing sync.
Mine does not have the "Library" option for obtaining books at a public library. How does one set that up?
Can I send pdf to kindle? I have some downloaded pdf ....would I be able to open those in kindle?
What about bookmarks, instead of clicking the third icon in settings is quicker to just click the top right corner. It opens the same menu to add/delete a bookmark.
Great tip! That works too!
Thanks
Love you brother ❤
Kindle's "NOTE: You have reached the export limit set by the book’s publisher. Some highlights are not included." message when apparently highlighting too much material in a book and exporting it is quite obnoxious. It seems there are export limits on kindle books and there is no way to see the limit or how much of the limit you have used. Anyone know a way around this or a method to simply delete all highlights with one click?
