"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 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.
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!
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 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 😅
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'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.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
🩷 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.
💕💕 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.

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.
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 😊
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.

I upgraded to the Colorsoft and absolutely love it! 💓
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 returned the colorsoft also and got the new paperwhite. 💓
We just bought my mom one of those for Christmas. I hope she loves it
I got the Paperwhite Signature in rasberry yesterday and already love it! 💗
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 😅
Def planning on getting this one too! Thanks for this honest in depth review 💗💗💗💗
I love new tech too! You do you! Buying new devices bring you joy so keep on!

Love your reviews! Can’t wait to get a new paperwhite! I’ve had mine for years.
💗enjoyed your review! I just bought the raspberry one. I have a 2nd generation kindle so this one will be an upgrade. 😂
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.

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.
It is really pretty. I’m probably going to get it.
I am tempted to get this one! 💗
I love the raspberry colour 🥹
Barbie pink.
I want the new Paperwhite for the bigger screen.
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
I took the leap😂 and bought the same raspberry kindle. Just because I love pink
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
I decided to get the new scribe… I am so excited about that one. I kept my 2022 paper white though.
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
💖 This is very helpful, thank you!
The pink in your video is much better than the pink on the website

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
I don’t know how but I ended up going from 2 devices to… 5😂😬 so you do you lol
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
💗💗💗💗 glad this one worked out
🩷 the color is so pretty
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.
Will it show book covers of you sideload with calibre?
How would I buy books in paper white signature raspberry? I have the kindle app on my iPhone
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.
Hey Jess what colors do the paperwhlte come in 😊
You can search that up online
Ooh I love it!!!
What is ghosting. I’m looking to get the paper white im raspberry colour .. the new one is it 12 gbs only

Its America we do what we want. Get all the devices
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
💓
Today is a hard day
💗💗💗

People are ridiculous. Buy what you love. Heck with them. But make sure you share a review for us. 😂😂😂❤
Hello there hey there hey there hey
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🤦🏼♀️😡

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😃

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.
