Isn't one of the key things about an e-ink display that the better the light, the better the experience? If you're outside I don't understand why you'd need to up the brightness - it shouldn't need any back/front lighting at all. Maybe I'm missing something with this particular device, but my kindle doesn't need any light when using it outside/in a well lit environment.
You're not missing something. Bafflingly, ereaders are now reflective. The old ones were fine in the sun, now you get glare but nobody else seems to say anything about it.
Its currently on sale for £80 and if you have an older model kindle you can trade it in for a further 20% off and voucher between £5 and £20 , bringing the cost down to £40-£55. Incredible deal. Edited to add: You can trade in multiple kindles to keep stacking the vouchers.
1:09 i never charged my Kindle at home to be honest, i always left that cable plugged in my workplace computer and just plugged it there during lunch and i never experienced running out of battery past 30%
I can't believe it's 2024, and the Kindle *STILL* has the power button on the bottom. In the exact spot your finger and hand rests so that every two minutes you accidentally turn the device off. At 2:07 I notice you holding it in your left hand, if you were to use your right, your pinky finger would be right on the power button. It seems ridiculously basic and obvious that the power button should be at the top, away from your hand and body. So you can rest it on a surface, your leg or body and read.
Well the "screen brightness is enough for reading in bright sunlight" is a bit stupid in case of an e-ink display... In bright light theres no need for any screen brightness at all.
@@megamegaOI imagine they mean warm color/waterproofing/larger size, but that would defeat the purpose of it as the cheapest option. The version with ads goes for $85 right now and that can't really be matched by any of its competitors.
@@megamegaOkobo Clara BW is the same price as no-ads Kindle Basic, has a much better UI, built in overdrive (way better than tethering Libby with your phone), is waterproof and has warm lighting. The worst part of Kindle is it being a kindle. Edit: non-Americans can’t even use Libby with their kindle, so Kobo is just objectively better for most of the world.
I had started to sell books on Amazon. I used Kindle for about 50 days and I earned more than 10,000 USD, but I can't transfer to my bank account because I am a Sri Lankan. How can I get my money?
Kindle fire is still cheaper, and colour - ok it's a bit of a chunk and it feels like it doesn't know what it wants to be! An e reader or a tablet? But worth a consideration if you are on a budget
I saved up money for a few months to buy a ZP, but it got scratched on the third day. I cried so much, and then my boyfriend bought me a bag from kislux for me to carry alternately. Anyway, there are so many bags on the street, so as long as others can't see it, I think it's fine. The thought is there.
I got an old Nexus 7 tablet in great condition from eBay for $20 last week. What is the selling point of these dedicated E-readers? My tablet has better performance, a color screen, and the ability to run lots of other apps in addition to Kindle. It seems to me like buying an old Android tablet and flashing newer software onto it (e.g. LineageOS) would be a better value.
Hey mate, great review on the 11th Gen Kindle! Your deep dive into its features vs. value really helps budget-conscious readers.

@ That’s crazy. There goes the battery life!
same here
@RenaissanceEarCandy eh i wouldn't define the kindle basic with its recessive screen reflective at all. you don't need the light outside
Amazon is just ridiculous with ads. Paid extra to remove ads from Prime Video, and it still shows ads, but give you an option to skip it.
There's really no way to get rid of the ads? I'll stick with the Tolinos then...

@@SteamyPMcGee wait, oh brilliant. Thanks
I just got the 10th gen off ebay for £18, works fine.
It's something special about you reviews, thank you I really enjoy them

Wife bought me one. Back on digi book worming again. 💯
Spend a wee bit more for Kobo Clara BW. Kills Kindle in utility unless you want to restrict yourself to Amazon ecosystem.
I gave that one a shot and it felt considerably heavy in the hand and the ghosting was driving me crazy.
@SNicolesPlace Curious my Clara has been flawless

@@AA-px4dm Yeah, screens. But this is e-ink, it's like paper in direct sunlight, extremely readable without any backlight.
@@simcax6087Or rather frontlight for an ereader.
I wonder how many noticed that "Bat Boy" is the book our very own Uncle Spurt wrote. It was ok. 👍
What do you mean by "still"? Kindle hasn't been the best option in many years. Primarily due to their software. The hardware is nice.
What's the best then?
Not sure what else could be, "better" you get a kindle to read....and it's been delivering....anything better than that would be a regular phone.

@@bufflb4184 it has ads ☠️ oh hell nah...that's crazy but I guess that's the norm for the reader niche tech?

Do more e-readers please 🥺
Looks nice but I'm not seeing much reason to upgrade mine...
Sir do you still have the Zenbook pro duo
Any chance you plan to review the new coloursoft?
That's the one I'm intrigued by...
Great report!
Is there a way to buy old kind,especially ON amazon?
Do a review of Samsung Galaxy A16

Good afternoon Mr Spurt 😊❤
I hae this kindle is very nice color and fast.
They no longer sell the Oasis brand new.
eInk displays are known to be very fragile.
Autobrightness is awful feature.
After my kindle started fading and now it's readable I lost hope in buying another. No online fix that saying put it in the freezer that doesn't work
Wife just asked for Matcha one for Xmas and it's currently £79 bargain
trade in old kindles for even more % off and the vouchers!
Sure, I'll pay $99 to be fed ads. Not happening.

I’d grab on to read manga.

LCD vs e-ink Display. 1 day vs 6 weeks battery life.
Try reading on an LCD in bright sunlight in a park or sth. That's not fun 😅
Hello Uncle, how are you?

Anti-consumer practices define the modern Kindle
🎉
This size is the best for a mobile phone I don't know why companies don't make something like it
What
@@splashmoby He probably meant the aspect ratio?🤷♂
@@radieschen79He probably means how it's a 6" screen and no one makes 6" phones these days.
100$ is cheap?🤣🤣💀🤡🤡🤡
It isn't? Get ya bag up lil dude
ereaders are a waste. Just lower the screen brightness my dude
