Update: I got to 14 days without charging and the battery was at 9%, the lower the battery got the slower it seemed to discharge. The second week I did way more reading too, so Im happy with the battery life!
I’m still using a kindle from 2015. It works brilliantly. Absolutely no reason to upgrade. And that’s by design: Amazon wants you to buy books. The e-readers are just vehicles for their core business.
Thanks for this! Pleasant voice cadence and great info.
Hey, thank you for uploading this. I'm in the exact same situation as you. Just bought a Kindle Paperwhite 2015 refurbished from Amazon for a very good price, so definitely was eager to see what it looked like and how did it behave today. I owned a first-generation Kindle Paperwhite that I used until very recently, so this will be surprisingly an upgrade. Thanks!
Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching!
Hi! I Have a kindle paperwhite 7th generation and IT STILL AMAZING! Battery life, holds 6,000-7,000 books and I've had it since it came out in 2017. Still relevant and worth it in 2024
you never considered upgrading?? i own two kindles the gen 7 and the newest oasis. The oasis is amazing and since don't spend any money on digital books and just pirate them all, I was thinking of getting the 11 gen as well which is very small and portable. Oasis is just life changing with the buttons, ergonomic build and warm light
@@halfwaysleet Of course i do! i love to spend money. But I've turned a new leaf on buying things I don't need, until I need them. At this current moment in time I don't need a new kindle simply because its newer. So I plan on using it until it breaks.I am tired of living the American super-consumer life. But also, this video was a review "IF" the Kindle 2015 sucks. And so I left my review saying it doesn't because it works exceptionally well and it doesn't lag. One thing I do miss about these kindles is that I used to bring 3G network for free on it. But like I mentioned above I am tired of the American consumer propaganda and so just like you I torrent my books and I get everything I can digitally from my local library💕
6:00 Hey, thanks for linking that, in the process of buying an old kindle myself, that'll be useful!
No problem!
useful video! thanks....my kindle 6th still working like a beast, dont worry about kindle..it is a powerful device!!
Thanks for watching
Thx for the vid
I have an old Paperwhite and it works great still.
I bought my 2015 Kindle Paperwhite refurbished in 2017 and it still works great! My only complaint is that the screen is a little fragile. That said, I'm not sure what would have withstood my kid whipping the screen with a phone charger. Only upgrading to the latest model now because I want the warm light feature... and the aforementioned whipping left little holes all over the display. Kids, man
Just wondering if your still using this older kindle?. I just got a new paperwhite last month on a fathers day deal and now got a basic 2022 on a prime deal for travelling to and from work.(basically don't trust myself not to loose it 😂) You probably may already know this but if not its worth knowing to not use a fast charging plug as it can ruin the battery. I only found this out when mine stopped charging on first charge with my paperwhite, but it's been fine since one I realised the mistake .
Yeah I usually don't use fast chargers on things Im not sure about unless I don't really care about the device. I have heard of it happening like you said but haven't had it happen to myself. Thanks for sharing
How long you put in charging before something happened. Mine is the same
It turned on after about 20mins some people said try holding the buttons to reset the device and if you keep trying it my eventually turn on but the battery could also be dead.
The good thing about Kindle's (and other similar "major brand" ereaders like Kobo or Nook) are their super optimized, Linux-based OS hence why it runs so well still and can still get updates even on an almost 10 year old device.
The current models DO have way faster performance (faster to navigate menus and less full screen refreshes) and some extra niceties (8 or 32 GB of storage instead of 4, Audible Audiobook support via Bluetooth, thinner bezels, bigger battery, a flush instead of sunken down screen, more LEDs for a brighter backlight, said LEDs now support color changing for a warmer tone at night, USB-C, ambient light sensor to auto adjust the backlight, and optional Qi wireless charging on the "Signature Edition" model) but the core experience is basically the exact same.
Nowadays it's becoming more common to have eReaders from smaller companies like Boox that run full Android which of course gives you the benefit of loading any source for books (you can literally run Kindle, Kobo, and Nook's apps all on the same device and a lot more) but I do wonder how well those will hold up in a decade with how much more "heavy" Android is.
I'm mostly looking forward to seeing how good colour e-readers become, but the true Eink colour ones, not the ones using an additional RGB colour screen layer.
I agree. I am hesitant to upgrade to an ereader with Android put on it. My Kindle Paperwhite 7th gen still works fine, but I can't imagine how much slower and battery-hungry it would be if I was running Android on it.
Can we annotate on the margins by writing through a stylus?
This kindle does not support any kind of stylus you would need a kindle scribe
Can I hack this model or jailbreak whatever it's called? Sideload books and what not?
You don't need to hack it to load books on, you can connect it to your computer and put files on that way.
Can we transfer PDF to this kindle?
Yes
Hey , the d show, I think you should turn on word wise because it shows what a word means on top of the word
I did see it in the options but forgot to try it. Thanks
i have mine and it works but its slow..so I want to change to gen 11 and I didn't know we can trade our kindles! i wanna do that
keep it, jailbreak it if you still can, and use it as an awesome home assistant screen ... but if you cannot jailbreak it in minutes (i.e. if you have to modify it to access the serial port then its not worth the trouble). if it still can jailbreak it will be worth something to someone.
I have a 7th gen (2014) and it’s showing I have a 122% if I did the calculation right 😂
I have a max capacity of 1320 and capacity is showing 062
Ha thanks for sharing, I did find looking at the log file interesting atleast. Even if the reading is not correct.
@@TheDShow It is! Was curious to see the cycle log too but it didn’t show on mine, bummer!
