    I just want to share that I did chat with an amazon representative when I received my device, asking how to remove the ads on my kindle. After telling me they will remove it at a cost, the rep asked me if im willing to pay. I asked for the price and told him that i will think about it and chat them again. That's when he mentioned about the "surprise" information that my kindle is eligible for a free ads removable. I think asking nicely is the key :)

    Oh my gosh. I was hesitant to try the ad removal tip because I’ve had my oasis for quite some time now. But I went ahead and tried it out, used the chat feature, I didn’t even have to ASK, I just said I needed help removing the ads and the rep did it for me free of charge! Incredible lol thank you so much for this tip. For this alone you earned a subscription.

    The no ads thing worked for me as well! The customer service person asked me if I lived in the US, and then proceeded to tell me that it will cost $20. But then immediately followed up with this: "As you're located within the US, as an one-time exception, I'll unsubscribe your Kindle from Special Offers free of cost." Thank you for the tip! You have my like/sub/comment =)

      Ex Amazon agent here, most agents will probably do it because they need the good rating at the end of the chat in order to get paid a bit more, because they are underpaid. If you are treated with respect, please take the time to rate the conversation.

      This worked for me too. I mentioned (in chat) I just bought the new version of Kindle Paperwhite and had ads-free on my previous one. They verified the name of the Kindle in my account and *boom* they did it for free 😀Thanks Dylan! I did a review at the end of the chat to give the agent top marks.

      I tried to buy the ad free Kindle but it wouldn't let me. The checkout refused to deliver to a US address. In the Pacific North West. A few miles from Amazon headquarters.
      Quite frustrating. I had to resort to buying the ad version.

    I am using my new kindle to read in a language that I am learning, so the vocabulary builder feature will be so useful.
    I have set my kindle basic to landscape display because I find holding it with the bottom edge in my left hand easiest, and it's much easier to avoid accidentally touching the screen. I added a popsocket to it and it is an even more secure grip

    Thanks for the ads tip, Dylan! I am 9 months late to the party. I just got a Kindle this week and after watching your video, I messaged Amazon customer service and asked if there was any way to remove ads. They removed them no questions asked! It took less than 2 minutes. Now it's time to go spend that $20 on some books!

    I just found this video last night. My husband purchased and gifted my kindle paperwhite to me in 2022. I figured I'd chat and ask if they can remove the ads, but I'm being told from the rep "
    I'm sorry but we don't have an option to do that. Now previously we do have that from our end but Policy has been changed". It was worth a try and I may try again in a few days.

    Thank you for the useful tips, especially the ad removal one! I actually hadn't heard of some of them before. So I opened Amazon chat, politely asked if it was possible to remove the ads from my Kindle, the representative asked me to wait a moment while they looked into it, and within a minute the ads were removed from my device, no questions asked! I wonder if they really "looked into" some criteria my account met, or if they just went ahead with the removal, but thank you for saving me $20 :)

    Awesome tips, the book cover display option was new to me. Id just add for those studying other languages, if you download a bilingual dictionary and set it as your default, it is a wonderful way to look up words you dont know as you read. Fir example with japanese the progressive dictionary works great that way. And separate from that is the translate option that will translate bigger blocks of selected text. Neither are perfect, but maybe 85-90% so I have found them super helpful

    4:43 specifically for x-ray if you highlite a word, where it normally pops up with dictionary definition/wiki info etc (in case you didn't know this, super useful especially for complex words or if you aren't too familiar with the language you are reading in) if there is x-ray related to it it will pop up with that first. SUPER useful when you're reading books like GoT that have way too many characters i can just highlite a name and quickly remind myself who that person is.

    As a digital artist, that screen shot feature is going to be great if I want to do some coloring. Totally give the original artist credit for their artwork, but I like to color illustrations sometimes. He didn't mention that I could listen to audiobooks on this device and that I could pair it with wireless headphones. Love that. I'm planning on exchanging the bulk of my physical library for audiobooks and ebooks when I can't get the audios. So, definately getting the Kindle Paperwhite Signature. Wish it did come with a color screen though. Regular books that won't be a problem, but if I check out a comic book, I think it would be great to see the colors on the pages.

      Kindle Fire, gives you the features of a regular Kindle, but with color display.

It’s great for comic books and graphic novels.

      ​@@dylancanread hi, would you please do a video on how to remove your kindle Paperwhite 11 from a snap in case? There are no metal tabs or anything. I am 70😂 and can't figure it out. I don't want to damage it because it's the best thing I've purchased for myself in decades. Kind thanks!

    Wooow. Your videos were the ones wich pushed me to actually buy Kindle pw 11 (my first one ever)
    When I got it I felt like I already know everything about it :)
    I am from Serbia, and just successfully removed ads from it through chat on amazon.
    Thank you a bunch! And please continue to make super interesting videos about books ;)

    I actually get distracted by the clock showing on the screen while I read. I find it easier to just swipe down when I want to check the time. But I love that we get the option! This is the first time I see a video of yours and I loved your energy! So, new subscriber :)

    • @dylancanread

    I agree with you on the kindle making it easier to ensure yourself in a book than even a physical one.
    I think similarly that I'm kind of just replacing my phone addiction with the kindle instead. Normally with a physical book I can read a few chapters and then I'm back on my phone or doing something else and it takes me weeks sometimes to finish a book. With the kindle I read an entire 300+ page book in the first weekend I had it. Its just easier to put in my pocket and pick up instead of my phone anywhere I have downtime and am bored.

    Re the CLOCK. I don't have to swipe to see the clock or put it on the screen. I have this neat device that I wear on my wrist. It's called a WATCH and, DUH, I can see the time on it. I received it at my high school graduation in 1963. Still works after 60 years, unlike most 21st century devices that get trashed after five years. Now get off my lawn!! 😁 Great channel by the way!!

    A constant connection is really useful for WhisperSync, if you move between reading on the Kindle and listening on Audible - which I actually do, for new releases of books I am really interested in.
    Most of the time it can be in Airplane Mode though.
