    for me, non-kindle tablet (Chrome, Apple, Android) then use Kindle App, Barnes & Noble Nook App, and one of the several apps that allows for digital checkouts from the library. Kindle looks you in, even though the "paper" display is awesome as is the Kindle unlimited but, I got tired of being locked in and what seems to be intentionally destroying their own devices as they age to force users to upgrade. My kindle was awesome for about two years, now it runs like a turtle and I only have a couple of audible titles on it and one kindle book. Runned like a 30 year old windows PC. Factory reset and it runs much better but when it updates the parachutes come out and the boat anchor drops out and slows it to a halt.

  • @marctestarossa

    an e-reader and a tablet are just completely different devices. an e-reader is a very specific device, more or less one-purpose only. and for this one purpose, reading e-books, it‘s absolutely superior to anything else. but if you want to do things that go beyond just reading, it gets tricky. And to make it even more complicated, there are e-ink devices that completely blur the line between the usual e-reader and a tablet. They run android, you can download all the apps, they have much more powerful processors and are easily capable of doing splitscreen reading and note-taking. ^^ for the comparison you make in the video, the ipad mini would be a much closer contender, because of the small form factor.

    • @geminipages

    I don’t have a kindle but I wanted to watch your comparison. I read my ebooks on my iPad mini and use my iPad 13 inch for all my other bookish things…reviews, Goodreads, etc. I agree everyone has a preference. I like that I can also use my iPad mini on the go and leave my big iPad at home. I turn off all my notifications on my iPad mini so I don’t get distractions when I read, so it’s perfect for reading and an on the go tablet. I do agree you can’t really compare the prices because the iPad can be used for a little more than a kindle. I would say if all you’re ever going to do is read a kindle is good enough. If you want a tablet and ereader in one I would recommend the iPad mini. I tried to read on the 11 inch and 13 inch iPads and there were just too big. Good video.

      Thank you! I totally agree - reading on my iPad Air is too big and clunky but again, I can totally see how the mini would be perfect! I would love a mini too, they seem super cute but do I need it? Absolutely not 😂

    1. That Mickey and Minnie Halloween mug is so cute. 2. Love that you’re adding a weekly vlog style video 🥰 3. Never heard of “gas lamp” before but apparently it’s one of my favourite genres, if you haven’t read house of bane and blood before I really enjoyed it!! (Also on KU) 4. I’m going to Vegas in January and one of the things I’m most excited for is to try In N Out for the first time 😅 5. Can I have your bread recipe? One of my 2024 goals was to make bread and I still haven’t completed it Wishing you a cozy mildly spooky happy Halloween 🎃🤍

      ahh i'm so glad you enjoyed the video! definitely adding that book to my list, it's definitely one of my favorite genres now too! i'm a california girl born and raised so in n out is part of my personality LOL definitely ask for extra spread on the side for your fries, and try a shake if you like them! this is the bread recipe, highly recommend! also would suggest you use a scale when making bread, and looking at pictures of what the dough should look like becuase it can vary based on your altitude, how humid your house is etc. enjoy!! let me know how it goes :) www.lifeasastrawberry.com/easy-crusty-french-bread/

    I have always read on both devices since about 2011. I have had my moments with both, I have a use case for reading on both of them. I use my Mini for everything!!! literally, it is my daily driver for sure. I still have the Mini 6. I prefer the kindle if I may get distracted or for headaches. I use my iPad for reading if I want to use my ebook/audible, it will read it to me and follow along with me as I read AND turn the pages :):) I will also use it for apple audiobooks and audiobooks. I prefer to read on my iPad but I got the paper white in 2022 and have read more on it since. I upgraded from the 2010 Keyboard as well lol. I had stopped using it as much due to no backlight, poor battery and all that stuff and that is kind of how I started reading on my iPad a lot more. I have had my mini for 3 years and my paper white for 2. they are both fantastic! I have no plans to upgrade anytime soon. however, if someone said you could only use one forever, it would HANDS DOWN be my iPad because you can use any and all platforms for books vs just the amazon for kindle.

      It doesn’t! It’s just what people are used to. Before kindle it was barnes and noble etc. some of us big ebook readers hate being attached to specific platforms- they age and companies can revoke your license to these books (bc you don’t get to own them legally) at any time regardless of your money. After reading across platforms for so long I don’t want to manage 5 accounts. I manage my own library on Calibre and use Bookfusion to sync across devices. That way I don’t need amazon or anyone else in between me and my books :)

    You don’t own your digital books. You are simply paying for a license. That simple fact makes digital books a waste of money.

      I see your point, but what happens if there you lose a book? Whether it be from traveling, a flood, a fire, etc. With a Kindle, even if you lose it you can still keep your library.

      I don‘t think it‘s a waste of money, because I don‘t want to own every piece of media I consume. The issue is that the button says „buy now“. that‘s totally misleading and that‘s what people get mad about.

    I've had my kindle for at least 6 years now and although the new Kindles look amazing, I can't justify getting a new one when mine is still functional 😅 I did get a refurbished iPad (mostly so I could watch videos away from my PC or TV) but find I still don't use it as much as I thought I would. I rarely ever buy e-books unless they are on sale and not one I want to have physically. But since learning about stuff your kindle days at the beginning of the year I've been hooked 😂 And I'm planning on trying Kindle Unlimited after your videos talking about it and seeing how many books they have available now Loved getting to hear your comparisons and the pro vs. cons 💕

    I 100% agree with your pros for kindle. It being easy on the eyes is such a game changer for me, especially with looking at a phone all day when I’m not reading on my kindle. Okay let’s be real, I agree with al your pros for kindle hahaha the battery life is unmatched! I think the iPad is just so expensive, but seeing all your tracking a journal spreads really makes me want one so badly! 💕💕 Also a con for me, is Apple is constantly out dating their apps with certain updates. So like my iPad mini from 10 years ago can’t run any apps and is basically useless now. Great video bestie! 💕💕

    For me I only buy the 99p ebooks, as i dont read enough on kindle to warrant a monthly subscription. Yes I may not technically own them but they will last longer than any subscription length I would pay for 😂, and for the 99p, as long as iv read the ebook then I'm fine with it, at worst it'll be a really cheap one time rental cost 😅 even if it was to be taken away lol. Iv also managed to collect a few free kindle books too so thats always a bonus.
