I've had a Kindle for over 10 years now. The Paperwhite 11th generation is the best value in my opinion, especially if you purchase it on sale. The basic is good, but I think the warm lighting is a game changer if you do a lot of reading.
I too am a long time (15 yrs!!) user and I completely agree about the Paperwhite 11 - but the real trick is to buy the Paperwhite Kids edition - no ads, cheaper and a free case - you can just log out of the kids profile and use as normal (as well as a year's free sub to kids books) Win Win!
Wow that’s great. I just bought the new Paperwhite online and I was worried about it as it was a bit more expensive than the standard kindle and people have said it was harder to hold on to. I think the warm light feature is something I will appreciate because I read a lot and the white does strain my eyes.
@@kariminalminds I actually much prefer holding the paperwhite, particularly with the new design, with the screen built flush into the unit. Feels much more premium than the standard. I don’t think you will be disappointed.
@@samuelbuckingham oh wow. That’s great news. I haven’t received my Paperwhite yet but I was starting to get worried about the size and the comfort of it. Will let you know what I think when I get it.
This is my friend's second Kindle. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxOnUR4NaproSbBbD2sdI4XcDZ58Jz8GOx The first one which is about 5 or 6 years old quit charging because the bottom connector went bad. When I saw they upgraded to a USB C connector I knew it was time. I think the old USB Micro connectors are a PIA. Her new one is great. It synced right out of the box and connected to WiFi immediately. The thing is perfect! Sooo mine will arrive tomorrow. (Been reading off an old Fire) What bugs me are the reviewers that give this product one star because it didn't work out of the box or they were too dumb to figure it out. If it doesn't work send it back and get another one. It couldn't be easier with Amazon. Giving it one star because it didn't work says nothing about a good one that does work. I bet a bad one is one in a thousand or more. Give it a break...just get another one.
As an Oasis owner, I'd say it's well worth the cost. I used to own a Paperwhite (admittedly a much older one missing a lot of the nice features they have now), and honestly, it didn't feel like a big upgrade over reading on my phone. I almost gave up entirely on the idea of having a dedicated device. Eventually, though, i was convinced yo give the Oasis a try, and it was a total game changer. It is so comfortable to hold that I don't want to read on anything else anymore. Compared to the cost of books, it's not really that expensive either. It's sad that Amazon seems to be ignoring the oasis, since i don't think I've ever seen a comparable device.
I am really considering getting a kindle for the first time and this video was very helpful. I think I’m going to hold out and wait for an upgraded oasis.
It is front lighting, and that makes a huge difference. You aren't looking through a screen at a light behind the display, you are seeing light reflect off the e-ink's non-glare surface. 100% easier on the eyes. Laying my Kindle down on the wireless charger next to my reading chair is a very convenient feature.
@@938quilt All the Paperwhite models... There aren't any losers in the current lineup. Mine is about third place, with 32GB of space for E Books and Audio books
I got the oasis a long time ago but it certainly is due an update after all the others have - but i love how its built, easy to hold especially in bed and the fact you can switch it upside down is great for swapping sides in bed, game changer when most my reading is in bed before sleep
I've had the kindle keyboard, the Voyage, the Oasis and now the Scribe. I've loved them all. I have to say I absolutely love my Scribe. I love the way it feels when I'm holding it, its so thin, and the note-taking is amazing! It is my preferred reader now. I still use my Oasis when I'm out and about or when I'm ready for bed, but if I could only have one I would choose the Scribe.
Awesome, glad to hear you enjoy it. What is it that makes you more likely to pick it up, the stylus or the larger screen? You say you still choose the Oasis when getting ready for bed, is that Because of the amount of light from the scribe?
The larger screen is awesome. But mostly its the feel of it in your hand. Its very well balanced and nice and thin and light. Its the best reading experience of all the Kindles yet in my opinion. and yes the stylis is very similar to a regular pen or pencil. I like to hold it without a case which is another plus because the case from Amazon is magnetically attached so its very quick to take it on and off. I have never been a fan of the Oasis odd grip. It would be nice if they would model a new Oasis off the scribe. The reason I use the Oasis at bedtime is I usually read in the dark until I fall asleep so the Oasis just falls to the pillow next to me so no worries. I've had the Oasis for 4 years and have enjoyed it, and feel very fortunate that I could purchase the Scribe. For a new purchaser it really boils down to personal reading habits. For an occasional reader even the Oasis is probably not worth the money. But for avid daily readers then a premium kindle is definitely worth it. All in all their all good.
Thank you for the great video! It’s May 2023 and I’m still waiting for a new Oasis to replace the current model I have. It hasn’t been updated since 2019! I really hope this doesn’t mean that Amazon has abandoned it. I really love the page turn buttons.
Love the fact that you _still_ have (what looks like) an old 4th Gen Kindle. That was my very first, which I bought over 12 years ago and kept it in an OEM case, until that fell apart. I actually found that I liked the feel of it "naked" but sold it on eBay and bought the 10th Gen Basic White (which has a light, though I rarely use it) which I also keep in a case, though again, am tempted to free it! 😉😉 I did see the 11th Gen Basic (Denim) in store yesterday and it does feel great and is even _more_ dinky. But, I am totally OCD about fingerprints. Sadly, I have heard/read that the Oasis is being discontinued, with no plans for a "refresh." But, don't quote me on that!
This is finally the video I was looking for. A good explanation and to the point comparing the kindles to help me decide which one to buy. Thanks. Bunch
I agree its still the Kindle i would choose overall but when I bought mine it was a long way ahead of the other models and the price was easy to justify, now its a very hard premium to justify with the paperhwite getting so many improvements.. I bet they release a new model soon and it changes it completely.
@@samuelbuckinghamI think it depends how much you read. At least for me, the cost of even the Oasis is very small next to the cost of books, so it doesn't take a huge improvement to justify it.
I have a kindle paperwhite from 2015. It still works great but it doesn't charge up to 100%. The max charge is like 95% or so and I am charging it every couple of days.. I use it every day for hours at a time so it has served me well. I want to pick up the new paperwhite on prime day instead of attempting to switch out the battery myself.
Most bang for the buck is Kindle Paperwhite Kids Edition. With 2 years kids subscription plus with free case. Same hardware and software with Kindle Paperwhite 5. :)
I have the Paperlight, if you keep an eye out for the frequent sales, you can get it for little more than the cost of the basic. Currently reading Marple.
Yeah loads of sales on Amazon. I use honey to track recent prices before buying and it shows if the price has been lower recently, that’s a good sign that if you holdout they will put it on sale again.
You know, I'm about to buy one but the options in my country are so limited! I can't get right now neither the scribe nor the oasis (it is the one i want). After this video I'm more interested in the paperwhite so thank you for that!
i have the paperwhite 3 i think... with backlight... not really seeing much besides usb c and wireless charging and water proof to be reasons to upgrade currently. Or black mode.. that would be nice for the eyes i think.
Your correct there, there has been very little innovation in recent years just small iterative upgrades. I would say there is a substantial form factor upgrade since 3. So they feel much more premium, but it’s doesn’t vastly change the experience.
Kindle now fully support epub and if I remember right they promise 4 years of updates for kindle products so both devices should support it. You just need to use the send to kindle feature to get them uploaded to your kindle.
@@samuelbuckingham This option send to kindle not good to me. Suport epub for me just upload to kindle epub files and recognize by default. This is trichy for kindle...
I have the 10th generation Kindle paperwhite. Kinda thinking on getting the newest one. Do I actually need one? Its just myself and not sure what the difference would be
No need to upgrade unless you’ve got any issues with your device. I think you can get a good number of years of use from a kindle and the 10th gen still holds up well. There has been some upgrades that I mentioned in the video but they won’t entirely change your experience. Personally I would hold out until it feels dated, by which time they may have added even more features.
I would be tempted to stick with the basic kindle the features the added this gen match up with lots of the advantages of the last gen paperwhite and it’s a good price
Which one would you honestly recommend ? Kindle Basic or Kindle paper white? Thanks. I’m looking to buy my 1st kindle , so maybe you can help me decide. 😊
Personally I would go paperwhite, as mentioned the extra features such as better lighting, ability to change light temp and the better form factor as enough to justify it for me. You will love it either way though.
I’m looking for a screen that is very fingerprint resistant. I tried a Paperwhite but found the screen to be very smudgy. Any recommendations about which model’s screen holds up the best to fingerprints?
I’m afraid the screen itself doesn’t vary much between models as it’s the same tech used across the different models, but personally I do find them to hold up well against fingerprints and don’t ever notice any in use. Its worth noting that the stronger the backlight the less the will show so maybe you will notice them less on an oasis or a scribe due to the higher number of LEDs
You can consume articles with the send to kindle feature. If I’m honest I don’t often do it as it would require hunting them out ahead of time and sending to kindle ready to read later. There is a browser hidden away in the settings that you could use to view natively but it’s much too slow and clunky to be enjoyable to use if I’m honest.
Really excellent video. Thanks for posting. Quick, probably stupid, question if I can. How does one use backlight on 11th generation Kindle? Is it always on? Does it come on automatically when you enable dark mode? Again thanks
Kindle model with keyboard, ages ago, had these two buttons on each side that were for turning pages. Why was it abandoned in subsequent models? It was the best feature, should be in every model. Now it's only in Oasis. Pity. Somebody should invent a Kindle cover that has buttons for turning pages.
My Kindle Paperwhite 10th gen started fading in the corners, I don't know what's wrong. It's not even a year old device. Have you encountered this issue? Anyway, nice video!
Thanks! I actually haven’t, even my old devices still seem fairly bright, it’s possibly a dead led. If it’s under a year old then it may be worth contacting Amazon, they might replace it under warrantee.
Hi Samuel, thanks for the amazing video. However I still do have a question. I read some book that comes with some pictures and a maps. I myself have an old basic kindle, but is sorta getting annoying to see the pictures so tiny and almost unreadable on it. I’m about to do an upgrade, but I don’t know which kindle suits me better, the paperwhite or the oasis. Would you be so kind to help me out in this quest? Many thanks 😊
Hi, yeah no problem, if screen size is the main focus, there’s not much in it. The difference between standard kindle and paperwhite is 6” to 6.8” which feels quite significant but the oasis 7”. That extra o.2 doesn’t make an enormous difference. With the updates made to the paperwhite I don’t think I could justify the oasis at the moment but am hoping they will update it soon.

Out of interest you put so much on whether a device has USB C or Micro USB but why? On a Kindle what difference does it make other than the type of charging cable you use, does it actually give other features or is it literally that the socket needs one of the older type cables?
Its genuinely one of my biggest frustrations. First off its so much less hardwearing. All of my kindles that are more than a year or so old have loose connections and I have to angle the micro USB just right to get them to charge. It also doesn't hold in place and can stop charging part way through if knocked. Lastly most of my cables now are either usb-c or lightening (damn phones); so I've always got one in reach if it needs a boost, but when I want to charge a Kindle, I have to go and get a micro usb just for it.
@@samuelbuckingham Awesome, thanks for coming back to me, it makes perfect sense... I haven't quite got rid of everything micro USB yet so I do still have a charger left out but yeah once that one is gone it would get annoying for sure!
I have that issue too with my older paperwhite. The charging port is faulty sometimes it’s receptive to the charging cord and sometimes it’s not. I have to angle it just right for it to charge unfortunately.
Hey brother I'm very poor but I love to read books please can you give me any of your kindle as a giveaway,god will give you more, I just want to study and read more through one source, I can't offord too many books,plz help

I have that issue too with my older paperwhite. The charging port is faulty sometimes it’s receptive to the charging cord and sometimes it’s not. I have to angle it just right for it to charge unfortunately.
@@tsg336 it’s frustrating isn’t it. Hopefully usb on future devices means that won’t be a problem again.
Is it just me , or are this mans audio levels all over the place ?
Edit:
It's just me. Sorry bro
