Another benefit to Kindle that is particularly useful for classics is the linked dictionary. So useful to just highlight a word you don't know and a definition / wiki page pops up
That's so true! I often have to google words when I'm reading a classic because I have no idea what it is.
Oh my goodness- I totally forgot to me tonight that. Such a wonderful feature!
Kindle is the best invention since writing!!! I've been reading in one since 2007 and it's a fantastic experience. It saves space in your bag, your bookshelf, your budget, and you have access to so many, many books that you wouldn't otherwise. Glad that you are enjoying yours
I really thought I would always be fully team physical book, but my Kobo reader was a life saver postpartum. It made it so easy to read during late night nursing session or throughout the day and saves a lot of sanity!
I was definitely the same! I have been surprised at just how much I love reading on it. The kindle seems to work extra well for busy moms taking care of babies and littles.
@@katehowereads completely. It's so light in the hand and nice for reading in bed when I am so tired.
Love this video and I like your stickers. I bought my first Kindle in 2011 and I've read and purchased a lot more books since. I own the prettiest physical copies I can find of all my favourite books and I acquire those little by little, adding a few each month, but discovering new books happens on my Kindle (only when I know they're favourites do I purchase physical copies to keep forever). I love that it's backlit (easier to read in the evening), that I can DNF a book and move on to the next easily from anywhere, I love Kindle Unlimited, I love that I can get books at midnight on release day. I know a lot of people think that owning an eReader might make them read less but it's been the total opposite for me and my physical book buying has increased tenfold so it's a win-win for all kinds of books!
Yes to buying beautiful editions of your most favorite books!!
I’m glad you’re enjoying your Kindle so much! Mine really saves my eyes when the only paper copy of a book I can find has small print, or when I don’t have a good reading light nearby. 🤓 It’s also so convenient for traveling! You can take lots of books and have hardly any weight in your suitcase. Paper books are still my favorite, but it’s nice to have options.
LOL, we said the same about traveling, and I hadn't even read your comment yet.
Thank you!! I am so excited to have something so convenient for reading on the go with. Such a good point about the font size being so nice.
I've been reading with the kindle since 2010 and I really couldn't do without it. I have lived with chronic illness for a very long time and it is brilliant for making reading accessible to so many people.
I'm so glad it's worked well for you too!
I need a new one! I’ve been using the kindle app in my phone and I agree it’s not the same! ♥️
Yes! I didn't believe people when they said it was different. Once I saw it in person I understood what they meant.
OMG--this was a review I didn't know I needed. I have a whole system for reading non-fiction, but this really does help with how to read fiction, which is not as page-flaggy or margin-writing. ESPECIALLY for reading those out-of-print books from lesser known Victorian authors! THANK YOU, Kate!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 💜
I agree Guttenberg IS truly AMAZING
I'm so glad it's been life-changing for you!!! You know my thoughts on Kindle but I'll add just a few here. I love it for reading in bed when my husband is sleeping. I use dark mode most of the time. And like you I love it for getting ebooks that I can't get at the library.(through Libby...I just wish Hoopla had a way to connect to Kindle).
I didn't know about Nook... that you can't get library ebooks!
Dark mode is such an amazing feature! I too use it while reading in bed. I second wishing Hoopla could connect! Hoopla has a much wider selection.
I love my kindle! I just got it a month ago and I am obsessed
This one is a nice easy one and fun- Cracking Ibiza!
I have a Kindle Fire HD 10 Tablet which I dearly love. I love reading my Thick Books on my Kindle. I have lots of Kindle Books on my Kindle. I can also read my Kindle Books on my Phone - My IPAD as well which makes it really nice.
Take Care & Happy Reading
❤️🤗🔰📖📚❤️
Such a good point about thick books being convenient on a kindle!
@@katehowereads - Kate - it’s hard for me to hold a Thick Book in my hands so I buy my thick books for my Kindle and it is so much easier to read my thick books on my Kindle. ❤️🔰❤️
I also love my kindle and I'm so happy you also love this extraordinary gift to the human kind. 😀
This is so timely! I just told my husband I want a kindle for my birthday. We have a big trip this year and I think it will be great for traveling. ❤😊Thanks for sharing.
Oh Mary! I hope that you get one and love it!
All I can say is that I totally agree with you 100 percent ❤❤
Just wanted to let you know I finally downloaded my first ebook from the Gutenberg Project to my Kindle. I downloaded The Heir of Redclydffe because I couldn’t find it anywhere and you made it sound so good! I’m so excited about all the books available. I need to go through your old videos to hear about more hard-to-find books to try. 🎉
This was very informative. Thank you.
Oh, it's cool to hear someone talk about everything they like about their kindle! I didn't know it was Libby compatible, that's awesome.
I love your case. The strap and kickstand are great features. I'll have to see if I can find something similar for my Kobo.
I finally bought myself a Kindle last year after swearing I would stick with physical books only for life. But phases of life. As I travel more and more and home is not necessarily in one place alone a Kindle just makes sense. I agree it is a game changer in so many ways, so easy to access so many things and my favorite thing is I don't have to turn on the lights to read. So right before I go to sleep or if I wake up during the night I love not having to get out of bed or turn on glaring lights.
I've had a Kindle for a while but have really got into it this year! I love being able to comfortably read it lying down in bed. It's such a game changer.
I never thought reading in bed with an eReader could be cozy but it absolutely is!
You can also save al ot of money by buying the "Complete Works of (author's name)" for .99 cents, 1.99 cents, 2.99 cents, on up without having them cram up a bookshelf.
Oh my, I love Keeping Up Appearances and will have to look up Our Doris! I really enjoyed this video. I love my Kindle as well. Too many people hate on e-readers; they're so convenient and are money-savers. 📚❤
I hope you enjoy Our Doris! It's got a bit more colorful language than I usually read but it's written in such a way that charms me.
I love books. I collect them. However, with that being said, as a severe fibromyalgia sufferer and a traveler, if I can only choose one, I'm going with team Kindle. Large books like the 1500 page Count of Monte Cristo don't travel well and would be impossible for me too hold up in bed. They are just too heavy. I love being able to carry around books on a very lightweight device. My Kindle goes everywhere with me. I like reading classic books and books from the 1700s and 1800s, so the built in dictionary is great for unknown old words. My eyes aren't the greatest either, so being able to make the font bigger is a huge plus! Kindles are waterproof where books are not; I can take my Kindle to the beach or pool. I can get a book instantly on my kindle, no need to drive to a store, and many are free from my library. I think it's all about doing what works for you and what you like.
I have a kindle but need to try the Gutenberg thing.
I love my Kindle, glad you are enjoying yours!
I love my Kindle Oasis for the warm light for night reading and the access to many Victorian authors. Try Delphi Classics as they have lots to choose from.
I have only begun reading ebooks this past year or so. I read them on my iPad and have thought of getting a kindle but so far I haven’t pulled the trigger. I probably will get one eventually. I had a nook years ago but a kindle will be any future ereader for me. Have a great weekend💕
It's nice to test things out with the iPad. I'm glad that you have a new format for reading that's working for you.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. I am really considering getting one in the later future. Im glad it’s made it easier for you to enjoy more reading 😊
I hope you end up loving it as much as I do if you end up getting a kindle!
I love your stickers. Yes, I have a Kindle. It is quite old, but this video has made me want to dust it off and start using it again. It's really great when you're traveling because you can take multiple books with you without bulking up your suitcase.
I hope this inspires a kindle Renaissance for you!
You’re definitely convincing me to try a Kindle soon! There are so many out of print 18th and 19th century novels I’d like to try, as well as easy access to ebooks from the library, so I think I’d enjoy it for the same reasons you mentioned. Did you get the larger storage size? That case looks amazing, too! Is it the one they offer with the bundle?
My kindle is my favorite thing! I much prefer reading on that than physical books. It's just so much better for my eyes. I have the signature ediition, and the orange back light is a game changer:)
Yay! I find it very cozy to be curled up in bed and reading on it. Love the warm back light as well!
I have been entertaining the idea of a kindle, but wasn’t sure if I should buy the oasis… now i know i should! I bought an iPad awhile back, thinking I would use it for reading, but that bright screen is tough to look at.
I can't recommend it enough! Especially convenient for reading while holding a baby. 👶
I love my kindle. I will always love my paper books as well. But my kindle was such a nice addition. Plus its often much cheaper to buy books on kindle. Especially when I cant find them in the bookstores in my country. I sometimes buy books and have them shipped but that is a lot of cost as well. I safe that for books I really want physical copies of. Glad you are enjoying yours :-)
Such a good point about international books being more easily accessible on a kindle!
I love my Kindle Paperwhite but I'm not happy with the kindle app not allowing purchases. Thank you for sharing about Project Gutenberg. I'm also sticker obsessed...💕 I really enjoyed your video. 🙂
That is a weird development! Maybe they did it to incentify more people to get a kindle? Either way, not cool!
Project Gutenberg is such an amazing resource.
I only had my kindle basic for few weeks.
It went off WiFi yesterday. Put it back on but now it shows only book currently unavailable on all books. Whether it be Buy or free to read or unlimited books. (I have a kindle unlimited subscription).
Something not matching up.
Only books I can read are ones I've already downloaded before it went off line
Anyone with any ideas 🤔
Thanks
Lee
I love Cinderella too! I have had a kindle for YEARS. MORE BOOKS. LOL
I have had a kindle since 2009 and I would never be without, when you travel there is nothing like it. I now have the latest paperwhite which is my favorite. I have the same case. I use a Flippy to hold it many times also.. it is so very different from phone.. I use the dark screen with white lettering. There are many free books too like freebooksy which sends an email daily of free kindle books. I started Kindle unlimited last year and I love that too which is 9.99 a month but I think it is well worth it. They have most classics free on there too. Also don’t forget you get kindle firsts every month where you get a free book to choose out of about eight the y choose of new releases if you are a prime member. I also read faster on my kindle as I narrowed my margins .
So many wonderful things to love about having an ereader!
Nooooo! Hahaha! Well, I totally get it. I hear all of the reasons why they are great. The most tempting reason is the 'hard to get' classic books. And yes. What about all of those books you want to read, but your library is not bringing them in, and you don't want to shell out full price for a book that might suck....so then 2 bucks for a kindle version sounds great. But I am a curmudgeon. Grumble grumble. I only like to read a physical copy. When Kindles first came out, I worried it would be the death of physical books. I no longer think that. Nothing will ever replace a beautiful, physical book. There will always be a market for them. But now my worry (for myself) is that if I had a Kindle and books were so easy to get, I'd just have a huge pile (so to speak) of all of these non physical books that I wasn't reading. A physical book makes it more important....more of an investment, so then, more likely to be read. But I will say that if I read as much as a lot of people in the bookish community, I'd probably have to break down and get a Kindle. It makes sense.
i love my kindle cause a $150 dollar book set is 1 dollar on the kindle. it pays for itself
Ha! I thought you were building up to say that you’d purchased a Kindle Oasis, and then you said you got a Kindle Paperwhite! I’m very seriously considering getting one, since I do a fair amount of travel for my job, and those wonderful Victorian tomes are heavy! This was such a useful “infomercial” for Kindles, Kate! Also, where did you get the awesome case? Amazon, or…?
In the end I just couldn't bring myself to do it...I hope that you take a chance on one! They are so convenient for traveling.
Oh and the case was on Amazon.
@@katehowereads We’ll see! Maybe with the birthday money I saved from getting all those mysteries for free! 😄
