"My sister's a casual reader, she just reads 50 books a year" My sister in christ, that's a book every week! The statistical reading average is 12 a year!
I read everyday but my reading speed is really slow so 50 books a year is really good for me and I consider myself a book worm 😅 it’s also not my full time/part time job so I have smaller numbers
💗 I don't understand why people complain when others upgrade their tech when people do it with their phones constantly. If you want a new kindle you go get it hehe! I'm glad this one worked out for you compared to the coloursoft. I thought about getting a new kindle as the last one I got was years ago (it's the paperwhite 7th gen) but I also 95% of the time read on my iPad soI will wait it out and see if I really need it 🙈
I got the Paperwhite Signature in raspberry. I have the Oasis so wanted the Signature because it has the auto adjusting light. Also, I’m excited for no ads-first time for that.
Girl it's your money! Plus these videos are great for people wanting to upgrade their device or are getting a kindle for the first time. Keep the reviews on all book related content coming ❤
The grainy effect is due to tiny little color dots in the background of all color readers. In comparison with other color readers the Colorsoft looks clearer, but not as clear as the Paperwhite.
I think the color and black and white are basically two different screens on top of each other which makes it darker and not as crispy. Maybe one day the technology will be better one day but hasn’t gotten there yet.
My oasis is dying and I’m so sad. I do love it because of the buttons. I tend to lay down and read, the buttons just make it easier to hold. I may upgrade to the new paper white bc I can’t put a new battery in my oasis. The charge isn’t lasting for an entire book. 😢
Thank you for this video! I have been wanting a kindle for a while … I use my iPad but its battery just doesn’t last, thank you very much for this review! The colors these come in … 🎉🤩🤗🤗 so pretty! Thank you!
I had the same issue and returned my Colorsoft, waiting on the B&W delivery tomorrow. So glad to see you had a good experience as I too am nervous about unboxing the next one 😅
Ghosting is not an issue, it's how Eink displays work. Every 5 page turns the kindle will fully refresh all the pixels; you can turn on a setting that makes it fully refresh every page turn but it does use more battery life.
I have always used cases that cover the screen but I have been tempted to try the clear ones, thanks for confirming my concerns about scratches. I cover the face and chuck it into my bag
I'm trying to decide between the basic and the 12th gen. I have a 10th gen paperwhite, and it is time.. to upgrade. XD and I need to decide if I'm going to do the bigger paperwhite or just go for that ultra precious and fantastic matcha colour.
Same here, I ended up buying the Paperwhite, this upgrade was soooo worth it, just a few days ago I was getting really annoyed by the lag I used to get when highlighting, now I enjoy using my Kindle again.
Thanks for your review, you showed me a couple of things I didn't know I could do, esp page pinch to alter font size instead of going into settings. From one of the commenters I got another tip, turning on page refresh (in settings) this seems to allow for faster page turning (to me anyway). Again thanks for the great review, I really appreciate it. Regards Rob (UK).
I haven't had a kindle in a long time. I have been reading on my phone. The last kindle I had I believe, was the 2nd generation. I ordered the new one.
for weeks now I've been waiting for black friday to see if the kindle paperwhite 2021 would go on sale but sadly it didn't. Seems like in the long run it'll be easier for me to get the 2024 edition. so, hoping I buy it here soon! 🤞 in raspberry as well
hello, thank you for your review, please help me know if I should buy a screen protector, I personally like to touch the original texture of the kindle because it feels more like paper, and I do not want to spend another 10 CAD on a screen protector, but if you recommend a screen protector I will buy it because I want my kindle to last longer, thank you very much!
Do you still love the raspberry color? I got one also and am definitely a pink girly but for some reason I am wishing I got black which I never want. I have the raspberry in a teal case with white cherry blossom trees on it so I hope it doesn’t look bad.
I got the jade paperwhite for research purposes, mainly cause I'm uncertain about what Amazon is going to do with Kindle colorsoft. I love my Colorsoft though and I'm like what if I keep both?
If you’d look at the screenshot, it says black and white is still 300 ppi, but reading on a black and white screen on that device IS IN FACT NOT that quality. If it’s not actually going to be 300 ppi, they should not have included that. That was my complaint about that device.
Yeah, the Paperwhite and Paperwhite Signature Edition have much better image quality than the Colorsoft or any other color e-reader. Unfortunately, the color E-ink on all e-readers has some visual drawbacks regarding brightness, sharpness, and contrast ratio. The Kindle Paperwhite models also have better battery life than the Colorsoft and proper dark modes.
It's the 12th Gen Kindle, but it has 16GB of storage, to be exact. Ghosting is when a ghostly image of the previous writing/pictures are still slightly visible on the display from the earlier images from the last page you were on. All E-ink displays have this. It's normal for E-ink technology. So you can swipe to refresh or go into the menu and turn on the refresh page option, which will eliminate the ghosting effect.
When you're reading a book or manga on an ereader, there's sometimes some image left over when you swipe a few pages. And the image left over is pretty dim compared to what's on the new page. It goes away when you refresh it.
I don't understand why anyone thinks it's their business to tell you what you should or should not do or what you should or should not upgrade to. F them!
🩷 I love the pink. I just got my first Kindle paper white last yr. I got the green. Now I want the pink. Lol won't buy it. I hope they come out with a purple one. That would be cool.
I feel soo…. 50 books is casual. Huh. I just found audio books with dungeon crawler carl. Looking at kindles…..50 books….casual. 😂 I’m not sure if reading for fun is for me. I’m thinking heck yea, I think I can find time to read 1-2 books a month.
💕💕 It’s really not for anyone else to judge how you spend your disposable income. Reading is literally part of your job, so if you want to upgrade, do it!! Personally, I’m glad you returned the color one if it didn’t do what you wanted it to do. Keeping it and not being happy or not using it would be more wasteful , in my opinion. 💕💕
What business is it to other people what you do with your money! If I want to upgrade to a new phone etc. etc. every year then that’s what I’m going to do. You do what you want and don’t worry about what someone else does🤦🏼♀️😡
Hi Jessica I am seriously thinking about getting this. I have a Kindle Fire HD 10 Tablet and I love it. I just want something smaller in size and I love the Pink. I am going to try to get it this month - if not - than I will get it next month. I really want this one. I love the Pink - Raspberry Color. Thank You for your Review on this. Take Care - Enjoy your New Kindle Pink Paperwhite ❤️🤗🔰🩷🩷🩷
I think you should be able to buy and return whatever you want and not have people come at you for it! This is one reason I hate social media, because people are trolls and just want to be mean to make themselves feel better. I love that pink! It’s so pretty! The kindle I have I purchased in 2020, so maybe it’s time for an upgrade! 🩷
"My sister's a casual reader, she just reads 50 books a year"
My sister in christ, that's a book every week!
The statistical reading average is 12 a year!
For everyone. In the book community 50 is pretty good but not in the high end
could have been a mixture of manga/graphic novels as well but then again my mom would sometimes smash through a book in a day.
I had to chuckle at that too :D I read 30 books last year and thought it was good...
50 isn't casual to me, that's still a lot.
I read everyday but my reading speed is really slow so 50 books a year is really good for me and I consider myself a book worm 😅 it’s also not my full time/part time job so I have smaller numbers
to stop ghosting you can go to settings -> reading options and turn on page refresh
i did it with my kindle and never had any ghosting
This is the answer! I even had this setting on my OG Kindle.
OMG THANK YOU!!!
@@PeaceLoveBooksxo no problem! loving your contents!
Something that also helped me on my new Kindle (also have the new Paperwhite) was turning of Energy saving mode 😊

because people watch some over-consumption and pro-minimalist videos and start checking what others have 😂 its stupid
colorsoft *
You should get a kindle. Its much gentler on the eyes. The battery lasts for weeks. Super light and small so you can carry it anywhere and everywhere.
I got the Paperwhite Signature in raspberry. I have the Oasis so wanted the Signature because it has the auto adjusting light. Also, I’m excited for no ads-first time for that.
Girl it's your money! Plus these videos are great for people wanting to upgrade their device or are getting a kindle for the first time. Keep the reviews on all book related content coming ❤
I just ordered my first Kindle! A raspberry signature paper white. It’s supposed to arrive today. I’m excited to see your thoughts.
I upgraded to the Colorsoft and absolutely love it! 💓
The grainy effect is due to tiny little color dots in the background of all color readers. In comparison with other color readers the Colorsoft looks clearer, but not as clear as the Paperwhite.
I got the Paperwhite Signature in rasberry yesterday and already love it! 💗
Is the back metal and does it feel light or heavy trying to decide if I want signature or regular paper white.
I think the color and black and white are basically two different screens on top of each other which makes it darker and not as crispy. Maybe one day the technology will be better one day but hasn’t gotten there yet.
My oasis is dying and I’m so sad. I do love it because of the buttons. I tend to lay down and read, the buttons just make it easier to hold. I may upgrade to the new paper white bc I can’t put a new battery in my oasis. The charge isn’t lasting for an entire book. 😢

We just bought my mom one of those for Christmas. I hope she loves it
I have always used cases that cover the screen but I have been tempted to try the clear ones, thanks for confirming my concerns about scratches. I cover the face and chuck it into my bag
they make clear cases with covers for the screen! i found some on amazon
Thankfully, my new Paperwhite Signature showed up in wonderful condition. It is my favorite kindle thus far.
I returned the colorsoft also and got the new paperwhite. 💓
I love new tech too! You do you! Buying new devices bring you joy so keep on!
Def planning on getting this one too! Thanks for this honest in depth review 💗💗💗💗
Love your reviews! Can’t wait to get a new paperwhite! I’ve had mine for years.

Oddly, I cannot find page refresh in settings. Kindle Paperwhite Signature, 12th Gen.
I took the leap😂 and bought the same raspberry kindle. Just because I love pink
I am tempted to get this one! 💗
Barbie pink.
I want the new Paperwhite for the bigger screen.
The colour is pretty! I’m jealous on the Canadian Amazon we don’t get the colours
Yeah, I went with the metallic raspberry signature edition paperwhite in Canada
@ thanks for the tip! I’m going to go look it up 😊😊
i wish we got the jade colour!! but we at least have the raspberry option this time which is an improvement haha
💗enjoyed your review! I just bought the raspberry one. I have a 2nd generation kindle so this one will be an upgrade. 😂
I haven't had a kindle in a long time. I have been reading on my phone. The last kindle I had I believe, was the 2nd generation. I ordered the new one.
I love the raspberry colour 🥹
I bet your sister is happy that you buy the kindles!
It is really pretty. I’m probably going to get it.
I got the Colorsoft and it has NONE of the issues being reported and I've seen others saying the same, so it's not all of them.
Can you use Libby on a Paper White? I never buy ebooks but im an avid library user and my tablet is over 10 years old
Yes just send books to kindle
Yes but only in the US, everywhere else it’s blocked
I decided to get the new scribe… I am so excited about that one. I kept my 2022 paper white though.
I’ve always wanted to know that font trick 😂 I’ve done it on accident so many times but had no clue what I did
for weeks now I've been waiting for black friday to see if the kindle paperwhite 2021 would go on sale but sadly it didn't. Seems like in the long run it'll be easier for me to get the 2024 edition. so, hoping I buy it here soon! 🤞 in raspberry as well

How do I get Libby on my kindle?
The pink in your video is much better than the pink on the website
I got the jade paperwhite for research purposes, mainly cause I'm uncertain about what Amazon is going to do with Kindle colorsoft. I love my Colorsoft though and I'm like what if I keep both?
If you'd look at the screenshot regarding the PPI, you'd see the PPI for color IS INFACT 150
If you’d look at the screenshot, it says black and white is still 300 ppi, but reading on a black and white screen on that device IS IN FACT NOT that quality. If it’s not actually going to be 300 ppi, they should not have included that. That was my complaint about that device.
How would I buy books in paper white signature raspberry? I have the kindle app on my iPhone
💖 This is very helpful, thank you!
looks like the bottom border with the kindle logo is taller than the old paperwhite so looks like you not getting a bigger screen afterall.
I returned the colorsoft yesterday i wasn't impressed with the yellow tint, battery life or grainy text. So I'm gonna order the PW 12 gen

Will it show book covers of you sideload with calibre?
💗💗💗💗 glad this one worked out
🩷 the color is so pretty
I don’t know how but I ended up going from 2 devices to… 5😂😬 so you do you lol
Hey Jess what colors do the paperwhlte come in 😊
You can search that up online
What is ghosting. I’m looking to get the paper white im raspberry colour .. the new one is it 12 gbs only
It's the 12th Gen Kindle, but it has 16GB of storage, to be exact. Ghosting is when a ghostly image of the previous writing/pictures are still slightly visible on the display from the earlier images from the last page you were on. All E-ink displays have this. It's normal for E-ink technology.
So you can swipe to refresh or go into the menu and turn on the refresh page option, which will eliminate the ghosting effect.
You seemed very sure to NOT connect your kindle to goodreads. Am I missing something? I'm connected to goodreads, should I not? 😮
What is ghosting? I’m not familiar with that term.
When you're reading a book or manga on an ereader, there's sometimes some image left over when you swipe a few pages. And the image left over is pretty dim compared to what's on the new page. It goes away when you refresh it.
Ooh I love it!!!
Who cares what other people think. If you want to buy EVERY device and can afford it do what you want!
50 books a year is casual?
Okay I’m sold 😂
I don't understand why anyone thinks it's their business to tell you what you should or should not do or what you should or should not upgrade to. F them!
🩷 I love the pink. I just got my first Kindle paper white last yr. I got the green. Now I want the pink. Lol won't buy it. I hope they come out with a purple one. That would be cool.
I feel soo….
50 books is casual. Huh. I just found audio books with dungeon crawler carl. Looking at kindles…..50 books….casual. 😂 I’m not sure if reading for fun is for me. I’m thinking heck yea, I think I can find time to read 1-2 books a month.
Its America we do what we want. Get all the devices
Today is a hard day
💓
💕💕 It’s really not for anyone else to judge how you spend your disposable income. Reading is literally part of your job, so if you want to upgrade, do it!! Personally, I’m glad you returned the color one if it didn’t do what you wanted it to do. Keeping it and not being happy or not using it would be more wasteful , in my opinion. 💕💕
💗💗💗
日本ではラズベリーが無いので🥲シグニチャーエディションのブラックにしました😃
Elfamies to lovers
What business is it to other people what you do with your money! If I want to upgrade to a new phone etc. etc. every year then that’s what I’m going to do. You do what you want and don’t worry about what someone else does🤦🏼♀️😡
💕
💗💗
Hello there hey there hey there hey
💓💓💓💓
People are ridiculous. Buy what you love. Heck with them. But make sure you share a review for us. 😂😂😂❤

50 books is NOT a casual reader...that's 4 books a month, 1 book a week....people with jobs can't read that often.
I mean I have 2 jobs (8-5 & a part time) and a 5 year old. I eyeball read about 8 books a month 🤷🏻♀️
Everybody reads at different speeds.
Please get to the point.
Definitely a waste of money if you already have the previous paperwhite - no idea why you'd ever need to change font size either tbf
Hi Jessica
I am seriously thinking about getting this. I have a Kindle Fire HD 10 Tablet and I love it. I just want something smaller in size and I love the Pink. I am going to try to get it this month - if not - than I will get it next month. I really want this one. I love the Pink - Raspberry Color.
Thank You for your Review on this.
Take Care - Enjoy your New Kindle Pink Paperwhite
