Happy Reading!
Thank you for not only describing the differences but “showing” the physical difference. Best review on Kindle models for a longtime!
Hey, thank you so much! Happy reading!
Yea, really. I watched 3 other reviewers and none of them showed the Kindle's actually operating.
Of about six videos that I watched to educate me about which Kindle to buy, yours was the best.
Awesome! I'm so glad it helped!
I had an Oasis but as a huge manga reader I ended up trading it in for a 64GB scribe. I ADORE IT. It has some premium features like the Oasis like the autoflip and has the solid metal casing.
Yes! That is an excellent use case for a Scribe! Glad to hear you're enjoying it!
This was a straight to the point video! Thank you for helping me make my decision! I'm getting the Kindle Paperwhite as a birthday gift to myself!
Awesome! I'm so glad it was helpful! Feel free to use my link when you buy it!
such a comprehensive review! love this! big thanks!
You're welcome! Enjoy!
this is amazing! the first kindle I got was the 2012 model. Last year I upgraded to the 2022 paperwhite last year. So excited to get into reading this year!! great video!
Amazing! Nice to meet a fellow fan! Thanks for stopping by, happy reading!
Exactly the video I was looking for, thank you!
Glad I could help!
This helped me decide! thank you
You're welcome! I'm glad!
thank you so much for this video! i was trying to decided between the paper white and the basic one and you helped me a lot and i decided to buy the 2023 basic kindle that just got delivered a few hours ago.
keep up with the amazing job! love from Brasil 🇧🇷
Yea! I'm so glad! You're going to love it!
Did they ditch the permanent yellow screen?
May I ask what made you decide on the basic Kindle rather than the Paperwhite? :)
@@ongjanetteof course! I was already looking for something smaller and cheaper. The only difference between them is basically the water resistance and the size, and those things didn't matter to me at the time, so it was not worth paying more for the paperwhite only to have those 2 features.
I have the basic one for over 5 months now and I love it! I read for hours every single day and I only charge it every 15 days or less, also the kindle is so small that fits every single purse that I have so I can carry with me everywhere I go. I also use it for work uploading documents that I'll need to read and check while working.
@@dearaujothayna thanks for your reply! :)
My kindle is ancient. Got it in 2013 and i still use it. No touch screen. Buttons on each side for turning pages, buttons on the bottom for everything else
That's the Kindle Keyboard! I think it even has its own external speakers, right? Oh, it was a good one!
@@onemanbookclub2585 no, no keyboard. Just homescreen button and a back button and a pull down menu button. I think it was an early gen basic
Ah, ok. Some of those early devices were great!
Think I have the same model. Mine has no backlight, which is one reason why I'm thinking of upgrading. As I've rediscovered the pleasure of handwriting, will get the Scribe.
@@chrishyde1216 when i get the chance to i am upgrading to scribe too, it seems to make most sense to me as a classical pianist with migrainrs
This was sooooo super helpful! Thank you!
You're welcome!!
Right on point, thank you for not wasting my time like so many others do 👍
You bet! Glad it was helpful!
Nice to see someone speak to camera and not fill the video with jumpcuts! Bravo sir!
I dont need the amount of eink ereaders that i have but im hooked on the various types and models both from Kobo and Amazon. I have a Kobo Libra 2, Kindle Basic, Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Scribe.
Correction note: Scribe is not waterproof
How do you like the Kobo vs Kindle? I've never used one. And yes, I was wrong when I said the scribe was waterproof! It is not!
Thank you for taking the time to describe and demonstrate all these! I began with whatever year they first came out (even before Oprah discovered them) and am on my 7th now, a Paperwhite that’s begun freezing more frequently. I was about sold on a new paperwhite, but I think you sold me on the Oasis because I’ve so missed buttons to turn the page. And holding in one hand you can enjoy a beverage while reading.
Sadly the Oasis is no longer available! I suspect they'll be introducing a new model this year or next...maybe a color Kindle? But for now an updated Paperwhite is your best bet.
You are a legend!!! Thank you for this really helped me decide. Your amazing.
Awesome! You're so welcome!
I have been reading on my iPhone 12 pro max using the app. But now (because of you 👾😄) I just purchased, through your link, the paperwhite light weight 11th generation 6.8" and got it on sale because I have Kindle unlimited - they offered me a special discount. 👏👏👏
After that purchase, I bought a case and screen protector, so hopefully you get some kind of affiliate pay on that too.
Whatever you earn you deserve more because that was an excellent review and from what I'm seeing, a lot of people are purchasing because of you're excellent reviews.
By the way, this is my first Kindle or even E reader. I've always read on my phone 😆
Well done you 👍👍☺️
Amazing testimonial! Thank you!!! Happy reading!
Waitttt. How much was the discount?!?
Lining every wall with bookshelves is a current ongoing discussion between my wife and I. Most of my books have been moved into my office with some current books next to my bed.....
Chose your fate wisely, my friend! 😆
Christmas 2010 was when I got my first e-reader (B&N Nook) and The Hunger Games was the first series I read on an e-reader (got them all for $5/ea). Best present my dad ever got me. Stuck with Nook until Christmas 2017, finally made the switch to Kindle, and it's my most prized posession. I am looking forward to the day I can get a Scribe.
Our stories are almost the same!!! ❤️
I felt like I was being lectured in my favorite class. Great energy..❤❤❤
Oh wow, I love this! Thank you!
Started the video unsure about which to buy (I bought my last kindle in 2014) and finished with a decision. So helpful, thank you!
I'm so glad!
Thank you for the side by side review! Very helpful. 👍🏼
No problem!
I have the Kindle Paperwhite 16bg and I LOVE IT, I want them all but I haven’t tried any of the others so I can’t say which is my favourite. I love mine though, decorating it makes me really happy. I don’t need the buttons on the Oasis, which is why I didn’t get it I didn’t think it was necessary. I love the warmth feature on my Paperwhite too, I usually keep the warmth around 5
They're all amazing, imo! Nice to meet a fellow fan!
underrated youtuber!!! i became an e-reader when i tried reading on my ipad. suddenly reading became so fast?? i dont understand how but it just makes you a faster reader. unfortunately, the ipad was just straining my eyes so now im convinced i need a kindle oasis HAHA. this was very helpful father thank you! (yes, you are our e-father now).
Oh gosh! E-father?! I'm dieing! 😆 🤣 😂
I never leave comments or reviews, but this video was so so helpful and I needed to let you know. Way more thorough than any other video.
I've been wanting to read more and thought a Kindle purchase would be a great catalyst. After watching your video, I think I'm going to go with the Paperwhite 8g no ads. Thank you!
I'm so glad it was helpful! When you buy, use my associate link and I'll earn a tiny commission from Amazon that I use to keep the Book Club running! Thank you!
amzn.to/3vPqTiL
Very informative, great video thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Best of luck and happy reading!
Thank you! Super useful video for a Kindle beginner.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video for introduction to these versions!!
Thank you!
Many thanks, mate! Very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Been searching for a side by side comparison of the screen lighting of the different Kindles! Thanks for this. I use an Oasis (and love it) but preparing for its eventual phase out. I hope I am wrong, but there hasn’t been any real news about it being upgraded. I’m partial to its asymmetrical shape and buttons… but if I have to choose another replacement, I’ll was hoping for a non-flush screen one like the Basic but the difference in the number of LEDs between the Oasis and the Basic will probably be too noticeable to me. But there’s something about a non-flush screen - I remember my first one, the Kindle Keyboard! Wonderful device :) completely sold me on ereading.
Ahhh, the Kindle Keyboard! Changed my life! Yes, I have those fears for the Oasis too, but I've had them for a while now. My thought is: Why haven't they phased it out yet? So I'm a bit hopeful they won't. Not sure what they're waiting on... Phase it out or update it. Just do something!!
@@onemanbookclub2585totally agree. I’ve been wanting to upgrade but at the moment I’ve got the 11th gen PW and some parts I feel like I’m downgrading eg micro-USB Vs micro-USBC
Awesome and thorough reviews. Thank you! I believe I'm going with the paperwhite
Awesome! Happy reading!
I have a question, if I may. I get migraines from reading on backlit devices like phones and tablets. Will I have the same problem with the Paperwhite and its light?
The front lit Kindle feels like reading from a printed book. I'm not a doctor, I imagine reading on an ereader would solve that problem for you! Anyone else?
@@onemanbookclub2585 okay. Thank you. I love reading traditional books but like the flexibility of an e reader. Thank you again for your response and thank you for the video 😊
I have all of the kindles except the Scribe and the Oasis is by far my favorite. I love the ergonomic design, the buttons; the lightness and the uniform lighting.
Alright! Another Oasis fan! ✊🏻
I also splurged on the Oasis and the only thing I don't like about it is that it's micro-USB. Other than that everything about it is perfect.
I do wish they'd update it!
Is the difference that big between Paperwhite and Oasis when it comes to lighting? Don't they both feel like paper? I mean, it's the only one which has paper in its name 😅
I can tell a difference, but it's also slight. You'll be happy with either one! The big difference is in the form. The oasis is so nice to hold!
Great video! Right now I have a kobo but I’m really thinking about making the switch to a kindle. This has been really helpful
Awesome! I'm so glad it was helpful!
Great information! You helped me make my choice.
Wonderful, I'm so glad!
Great video! Thanks man!
Thank YOU! Happy reading!
This was sooooo helpful. Thank you!
You're welcome!
One thing that i didnt see mentioned was Night mode options. The Paperwhite seemed warmer then all of them while Basic seemed more white. Do they have all have options to warm up the screen at night or just dimming options?
The basic does not have an adjustable warm light, but the other models do.
Before I saw this there was no way I was going to buy an Oasis. You completely changed my mind. You reminded me of how the kinesthetic enjoyment of holding a book or device is almost as important as the enjoyment of the reading itself.
Unfortunately, I saw this video in late March when the Oases were gone. I was crushed. I flailed around a bit trying to decide what to buy and finally settled on a PW SE. The very next day Amazon put a batch of certified refurb Oases up for sale. I quickly cancelled the PW and ordered the 8Gig ad-supported Oasis that I really wanted!
I have been reading on it for the last 10 days or so and couldn't be happier with the Oasis. Your video was definitely spot on for me. Liked and sub'd. Thank you!
Awesome! I'm so glad you found one!
I'm feeling like a very lucky guy. Just wish that I could have used one of your affiliate links to purchase it. Next I will get a Moko sleeve. Thanks for that recommendation too!
Great video! I've had/have all the kindle models but Oasis is my favorite. Can you share a link for your Moko sleeve can't seem to find it on Amazon
All right! Great to meet another Oasis fan!
Here're the Moko sleeves:
amzn.to/47ppFYH
I LOVE my Oasis! Before that I had the Voyage and I loved that one too!
Great to meet another fan!
I had a KOBO reader way back in the early 2009 era but ended up just using my phone or a tablet after, well fast forward and my eyesight is worsened and migraines plague me if i read this way so i was on the hunt for a kindle that read like a real book since the kindle books are WAY cheaper than in your hand printed seem to be. This video helped me decide ❤ thank you! It will be here tomorrow with a cute little case too. I went with the 11th gen 2022 6 inch model btw. Both for the price and features it had, and the fact it would fit in my purse easily.
Wonderful! I'm so glad you found one that will work for you! Best of luck and happy reading!
@onemanbookclub2585 it's been fantastic so far I've finished 2 books and no headaches!
Thank you for this review!!
Do you think Amazon will release a new kindle soon?
I can’t decide if I should wait or just buy one now. I also noticed they don’t have the oasis available anymore.
I'm hearing there will be a color Kindle late 2024/2025. 🤞🏻
I have 2mm crack on my 2016 Paperwhite screen due to dropping an eye glasses case about a foot above the Kindle. It doesn't have the flush glass screen over the eINK display. When this happened the Kindle was in a neoprene case. For the basic Kindle I'd suggest a hard cover. For your Oasis cover I'd check the Dollar Tree for a thin cutting film you could cut to size to fit in what looks like an outer pocket. If the Oasis display is facing the plastic sheet but not in contact with it in the outer pocket you might have more protection if something like keys or a cell phone was dropped on the display.
Ooo that stinks! I've never felt the need for screen protectors... In 12 years of owning them I've never had a problem. But now that I said that I'm probably going to break it today! 😂
@@onemanbookclub2585 Outside of the eINK crack I don't have a single mark on this old device. Any Kindle, like your Oasis with the flush glass screen, may be less apt to break knock on wood.
🤞🏻
Thank you for your Kindle descriptions. You mentioned that your kindle one with buttons was no longer chargeable. I have this model and found it easy to put a new battery into it.
I'm going to look into that!
This is a super helpful video that answered any questions I had about what are the differences between different kindles and which is the best choice for me. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Getting my kindle paperwhite on Tuesday so excited! I have an iPad but I want a dedicated reading device. Thank you!
Awesome! You're welcome!
Thank you for the review. This really helped me. I’m the same way you were in that I’ve always liked books and reading but I wouldn’t read as much as I wanted to as an adult and these days I’d get distracted by my iPhone or iPad if I read on them. So I’ve been considering an e reader to try and find a catalyst to reignite my love of actually reading. The Nooks look ok but I’m considering a kindle. I will probably go with the paper white or regular kindle.
You won't regret it! Good luck!
This helped make my decision. I watched 5 reviews before yours and gained no confidence in which one to choose. By the end of your review I ordered the best one for my needs. Thanks
Which was it
Glad I could help!
Dang. I was ready to buy an Oasis until you said it doesn’t use USBC. I don’t want to have to keep up with additional chargers. Thank you so much for this review!! 🤗
It's really the only down side, and I REALLY wish they'd update it! But if it's a deal breaker, to with the Paperwhite. You won't be disappointed!
Many thanks for this excellent and informative video!! 🎉 I have the 1st three devices and considering a Scribe. They do make an Oasis fabric cover that has the same shape of the device so don’t lose the device form factor. Sorry if someone else mention that for I didn’t read all 250+ comments.
My wife has the fabric cover for her oasis, and she likes it.
Thanks for the review.
I am as a language learner really interested in an immersion reading. So, what do think about the onyx boox e-readers?
Could you make a review on some of them? Please.
Would it be possible to use the immersion reading on them?
I don't have any Onyx ereaders, so I can speak to them specifically, although I do know the connection to the Amazon environment makes the Kindles pretty great.
Immersion Reading is a feature exclusive to the Amazon Kindle App on phones and tablets, and is not available on dedicated eReaders.
GREAT video! I have a question though, I don’t know if you will answer, but I’ll try. How do I know when buying a kindle if it’s free adds or not? I’m thinking of buying one on Amazon. Also, if I want to use a kindle at the beach, you’ll recommend kindle paperwhite?
I do recommend the Paperwhite! Regarding ads, on the Amazon page for the Kindle you want, look for the option labeled "Offer Type." There you will be able to choose between Ad Supported Lockscreen or Without Ad Supported Lockscreen. Hope that helps!
I trust you because i saw Brandon Sanderson in the thumbnail. 💐
Sanderfan ✊🏻
This video helped me decide which model I should buy. I decided to buy the basic model and wait for the new model of Oasis.
Thank you from Japan🙌
Wonderful! Best of luck!
Wow, great video! i have a paperwhite, got it 5 years ago, and I had to chuckle everytime you said things like "I love it", "it was life changing", because it happened the same to me. But not everyone understands the passion this device awakes! Hahaha
But by the way, I think another important feature is the warm light option 😊
Thanks for your video, I am going to get an oasis as soon as possible. I had doubts but not anymore 😄🙌
Right on!
I have been team Oasis and love the device. The scibe does interest me, though i think it's due to it's size.
Great to meet a fellow Oasis fan! The Scribe is very good, particularly for it's notebook functionality. I wouldn't like it as a dedicated eReader though, it's too heavy for how I would read on it.
Thanks for letting us know about the GB that we dont need more than the minimum.
You're welcome!
Thank you for this helpful video! Do you think the Oasis is still worth purchasing even though it’s the only one not to have been updated?
I think it's still superior to the Paperwhite because of it's ergonomic design, it's larger screen, and it's page turn buttons. For those reasons, I still think it's superior. If those things aren't important to you, then the Paperwhite is a fantastic choice. I keep waiting for an update, and keep being surprised when there isn't one. If the Oasis goes the way of the Voyage (ie discontinued), I hope they replace it with something better. The only non-modern feeling element to the Oasis is the micro USB charging port.
@@onemanbookclub2585 Ok thank you for getting back to me! Really appreciate it. I’ll be sure to use your link if I decide to the pull the trigger.
Hey thank you for the videos. You can change the battery on your old kindle. I have one from that year, and was still able to purchase the battery last year. It's real easy to do, you can TH-cam it. I still have my white kindle from. 2008, I'll never get rid of it. :)
Wow, cool! I never owned one of those!
cool thanks! scribe was on sale for 230 on amazon.
Ooo, great deal!
There...are ...FOUR lights!❤
I’m thinking about buying a kindle so I have an easy way to read books when I am in bed with a newborn. I’m trying to decide between the Paperwhite and Oasis. Which is best for one-handed use? I’m thinking having the page turn buttons would be easier than having to move my hand from left to right to turn pages, but how frequently will I actually be turning backwards? Any commenters have an opinion on which device is best for nursing mothers? Also, how is the screen responsiveness? All of them look pretty laggy in all the videos I watched. Any first hand accounts to share?
I think the creator mentioned in the comments that the Oasis is unavailable right now and hadn't been updated for a while. If I were you I'd want the most lightweight wch is the basic. Or Paperwhite if you don't mind a holding something bit heavier but with a much brighter screen. If you've been used to the 120hz scrolling or promotion, Kindles would seem laggy, but I don't mind especially as it doesn't tire my eyes as much and I can control font size. You don't need to swipe with the basic Kindle, just tap a bit to the right going forward, or a bit to the left going backwards. I have an old 2011 basic model though, but I doubt they would regress the functions with the newer ones. So I mean you can read with 1 hand on even the basic or Paperwhite even without buttons.
@ongjanette is right, sadly. The Oasis is no longer available, although there have been referbs available on Amazon occasionally. If you can get your hands on an Oasis, I recommend the Paperwhite!
I have a KO3 and I just semi-replaced it with the 2022 basic model. I’ve always wanted the smaller form factor, and now it has 300 dpi as well. Hopefully they give it water resistance and warm time within a couple of decades😂
😆
Still using my 2011 gen 4 with the buttons! Thinking aboutbipgrading! This was a great video to help inform me. I now see the joy of an oasis. Lets hope they announce a new version later thia year!
Me too!
This video was perfect. I currently read using my iPad. I am interested in the paper white , I have kindle unlimited, how do I purchase the kindle it so Amazon can honor my current kindle unlimited subscription? Would they give me a discount? Do you know?
No discount, but when you log into your new Kindle with your Amazon credentials, it will automatically recognize your Kindle Unlimited access. Good luck!
With due respect, it's not a waste of money to have the extra storage on the paperwhite. In my case, I have a 16GB paperwhite, and it's almost full. The problem with that is, I don't have a computer to backup the books on my kindle. Many of my books are sideloaded. So, if I were to delete them, I wouldn't be able to retrieve them. Yes, I have many free books which I got from Amazon, but like I said, there are many sideload books I can't retrieve. I also have very limited data, so re-dowloading books would also be a major issue.
Great point. If you side load your books, you'll want more storage!
С 2011 года читал на B&N Nook месяц назад купил Scribe и очень этим доволен шикарно
Отличный! Рад встретить такого же фаната!
I still have my Keyboard too and an older paperwhite with the micro usb. I love my Kindle.
Glad to hear from another fan! ❤️
I have been trying to decide on which one to buy and this video really helped. I'm gonna get the paperwhite with 6.8 screen. but I have 1 question before I buy...should I buy a glass screen protector for it?
I've never needed one
I switched back from Android apps to Windows but hate the e-reading on a laptop. I dug out a 2019 Kindle 6inch I had and it says updates to 2025 so I am looking. Thx for these comparisons but you forgot one thing: how does the OASIS particularily fit on a stand? The small 6" is a joy to read on a Moko cell stand. Im sure the Paperwhite wouldn't tip over but The Oasis charging side may be too thick. Any experience with stands for it? I want the slightly larger screen size and the buttons are an added feature over the Paperwhite.
It's very thin! No stand worries! Unfortunately the Oasis is discontinued, though 😔.
Great I ordered one last night and I'm just seeing this video
Which one did you get?
@@onemanbookclub2585 16G paperwhite
Awesome video you are awesome sir. Im a nubie to Kindle. Plus i have an Apple IPad 12.9. But for the past 3 days i couldnt buy on amazon the kindle paperwhite 32 gb…..it would not go into my cart it would go straight to my buy later section of my amazon app. And im a prime member, my son seems to think because it’s out of stock???? Im going to call customer service.. you ever have this issue with not going into the cart? I appreciate you thank you so much for this video. ❤😊
Thank you! It's possible. You might consider purchasing one with less memory. IMO 32GB is overkill for an ereader.
@@onemanbookclub2585 ok will do. Maybe the 16gb than … thank you
The Oasis cellular is not currently available on Amazon, except as a used item. The 32 Gig version has not been available on Amazon for some time. The 8 Gig model is still available, but I wouldn't buy it at $250. I assume that the Oasis is dead.
Yep, Oasis with Cellular is dead. The only thing I can't figure out is if they're going to sunset the Oasis, why haven't they yet? We've been saying it's dead for years now, yet they continue to manufacture it. It would be great to see some movement though. Update it or introduce a new model...something!
Between the paperwhite and the oasis, which has the warmer light? I heard the paperwhite has the warmer light.
My experience is that they aren't that different. But it's actually moot if you're shopping...the Oasis isn't for sale anymore!
Excellent review. I personally love my Kindle Oasis. The buttons and light weight make it a perfect choice for me.
Thank you!
lm tempting to get the scribe. I got the paperwhite edition, but found that its too small, and Im not really enjoying the reading experience. Not sure if I should just stick with my ipad Pro... I can always switch off the brightness on my ipad so that it doesnt hurt my eyes... what I really like to see with the Kindle device is some colours. Even just blue, red and yellow color would help tremendously.
If size is the thing, the Scribe would certainly help there. Hold an 8.5 in x 11 in pad of paper in your hand--that's about how big it is. But the trade off is the weight. To me, it's a bit too heavy to feel comfortable as my primary reading device. IMO its note taking features are what makes it a winner. You might see if you can find an outlet near you that has a Kindle Oasis you can demo. Oddly enough, the more square (and slightly larger) screen make a significant difference in the reading experience vs the Paperwhite. It may just be enough bigger for you. Good luck!
Hi! I was wondering if it was still worth it to buy a paper white this time of year because there should be an update soon?
Depends on how long you want to wait! There haven't been any announcements, just speculation. The buzz I have heard is that the new editions will be color Kindles, which may or may not be interesting to you. I don't think you ever go wrong with a Paperwhite.
Great video!!
Thank you!
Great video! What gen is your paperwhite?,🤔🤔
Thank you! It's the most recent whatever that is.
Hi. Thank you _so_ much for this!
I believe that the "Basic" models you are showing are the 10th Gen.
There is, I believe an 11th Gen option now, which, sadly is not available in white (no fingerprints!)
I was always an avid reader, but bought a Kindle 4th Gen about 10 years ago, which, like yours, revolutionised my reading. That lasted till a couple of years ago, when I "upgraded" to the Basic White, 10th Gen, which I keep in a MOKO snap shut case, which I much prefer to the OEM Amazon case, as it's much lighter, but has the same functionality. However, I also have a nice, bespoke "sleeve," for when I want to go naked! 😱😱
Not sure that I really need to upgrade again for a while, as I much prefer the white option.
I wouldn't mind if they brought back the page turning buttons though! 😉😉📚
I just grabbed all the Kindles I had laying around the house 😆! I'm sure you are correct. I checked the site and see a black one and a denim one currently available...yep, no white!
@@onemanbookclub2585
Cheers. It's a pity, due to the fingerprint issue. I'd definitely go for it, otherwise, especially to get USB C 😉😉
I don’t know if Amazon did the same everywhere but in Germany they discontinued the 8gb version of the Paperwhite. It starts with 16 for the price of the 8gb.
Good to know, thank you!
is the oasis screen the same as paperwhite and scribe? in the video it looks different.
It's the same, just more led lights. And much bigger, of course.
i have the paperwhite special edition and the scribe. i love reading on the paperwhite i write a daily diary and write and draw on the scribe. i love both
Cool! Nice to meet another fan!
I have oasis and love it . I hope they upgrade it at some point
So do I!
i have the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. 11th generation. Is there an easy way to delete all bookmarks if I want to read a book for the second time?
Yes, there is! (And you've just given me an idea for a new video... :-) )
1) Go to amazon and log into your account.
2) Under "Account & Lists," select "Content Library."
3) Select "Books"
4) Search for the book you want to reset
5) Using the menu to the far right, select "More Actions."
6) Select "Clear Furthest Page Read."
7) In the pop up window, confirm your selection to "Clear Furthest Page Read."
Next time you open you book and you're connect to WiFi, all bookmarks will be cleared. Good luck!
Thank you so much. I read on my phone and my old samsung tab S which I find heavy. Always read Kindle. I opted for the paperwhite 8 gb, but it doesn't charge on a charger? It is waterproof, I think you stated. Tired of reading on my phone and get engrossed in a novel and my phone goes dead. Hoping this will be great for beach and deck.
Wonderful! Great choice! Yes your, Kindle will charge with a standard USB-C charger. It will be perfect for the beach and the deck, morning and night, bed and bathtub!
I own the Kindle 3 which has a shit contrast in low light. For that reason only I am considering a different kindle after 13 years. But no video ever shows the display performance with LEDs off. Is that for a reason?
They don't turn off. The LEDs are always on.
I replaced the battery in an old Kindle and got some more use from it. You could try that on your Kindle Keyboard.
It doesn't have a replaceable battery! 😢
@@onemanbookclub2585 Neither did my Kindle Voyage. You have to open it up to replace the “non-replaceable” battery. It’s been a while and I don’t remember the exact process, but it can be done.
@@onemanbookclub2585anything has a replaceable battery with some tools
Great video and pretty comprehensive! I could see that the edges of the Scribe was indistinguishable when bright, whereas on the Oasis I could make out a teeny bit of edge brightness in full brightness, which is probably irrelevant but goes to show that the more lights you have the better it is. Can you read the NYTimes on these things as a subscriber? Cheers.
Unfortunately, you cannot.
Kindle needs to add immersion reading to their dedicated Kindle devices, to allow listening to the audiobook while simultaneously reading the ebook. I can’t understand why this isn’t available on the dedicated hardware yet it’s available in the app on phones and tablets. It’s my biggest complaint about Kindles, and the reason I hardly ever use mine.
It would be cool! I wonder if it's an operating system problem? Seems like something they could figure out though, for sure.
100% agree. I had a fire previously and used this feature alot. Just got paperwhite and hate it
I use it on my phone
It is probably due to the screen uses e-ink of some sort and has to refresh the orientation for each adjustment of imaging.
If the screen had a duel screen it could probably highlight with a second screen over the primary screen.
Thank you very much for the very informative video you have a sub out of me! I am an otr truck driver addicted to my Nintendo switch trying to go back to my roots of reading. After much deliberation and this video I think I am going to go with the oasis and will use your link when I order at the end of the month. THANK YOU!!!
Wonderful! I think you're going to love it! And thank you for using the link! Good luck!
From what I gained is all the books are in the cloud and to get the them you have to have internet? Is there a way to have the books downloaded into your kindle so if you dont have access to intrenet you can still read them. Maybe why the need for more gb?
You are correct on all counts. You can download your ebooks to your Kindle. But the size of a typical text only ebook is 1MB, and there is 6GB of storage space on an 8GB kindle...which means you can download 6000 ebooks onto your 8GB kindle! Likely less than. That in practice, but still...thousands.
Other things rk consider: if you're a heavy consumer of Audio books on your kindle, they are much larger. You could store around 35 Audio books on an 8GB kindle. If your read illustration heavy books like comics or Manga, you might need more space.
@@onemanbookclub2585good to know thanks
Thank you for this comparison!
I love my Oasis, but it’s too heavy for me after about 30m. I was hoping the newer Paperwhite was lighter, since it now has warm tinting. I guess that warm light apparatus just makes everything heavier.
Not lighter, unfortunately. But all kindles are lighter than printed books!
Great job! 👍🏻
Thank you!
Great video! Do you find that the Oasis gets hot in the sun since it’s metal? Is is uncomfortable to touch? Does it over heat?
I've never experienced that!
I ordered one. Appreciate the video as it helped me find the right one for me. I did use your link as well :)
Thank you so much! Good luck!
My 1st kindle was the kindle keyboard! It had a speaker and could read to you in a robot voice. Remember how they hyped the 1st paperwhite? I had to have it, the newest paperwhite is just not friendly to hold in either hand, and I frequently swipe too many pages and lose my place. I think older software allowed you adjust sensitivity to adjust for this. My favorite way to use the new paperwhite is with a case that stands on a table. It’s battery life and slim Denmark it a great travel companion Ergonomically and build quality the Oasis is unmatched. My scribe is basically a dust collector, I’m going to use it for personal study at some point.
Sounds like you've been a long time Kindle fan too! Glad to meet another Oasis believer as well. Best of luck to you!
As someone that has never used an actual eReader before this helps out so much when deciding which one I should get. I use eReading apps on my phone and prefer reading eBooks then actual books. (I was never much of a book person when I was younger, I did buy a few paperbacks last year to get into books but I have only read a few chapters of a few of the books.
I love annotating my books (using tabs instead of writing in the book) so I would love to get the scribe but maybe not as a first kindle as I am from Australia is to $550-$700. I am learning towards the paper white.
Do you now much about Kobo's or BOOX? I have heard some good things about Kobo's, so I am unsure about which one will be best for a first time eReader. I have read on wattpad since 2014 when I was 9-10 and now enjoy and prefer reading on my phone more than actual books.
Hey there! I've never used those devices, but there are many helpful reviews out there. Personally, the connection to the Amazon ecosystem via Kindle devices make them the most desirable for me. Ease of use, Whispersync across devices (including audio), Immersion Reading...all things I would miss if I used a device other than Kindle. Good luck!
@@onemanbookclub2585 I bought a Kindle! somebody was selling a brand new never opened Kindle Paperwhite Signature... if I bought it at full price I would be looking at $300-$350 AUD I think. but they were selling it for $100 which was a great price for me, it was $50 cheaper than the kid's Kindle I was leaning towards getting. I have had it for 3 days now and I have hardly put it down, I have finished 5 books already.
I will have to watch some videos about Whispersync and Immersion reading
Great video man. Bummer about the oasis. That’s the one I really want! I hope they bring it back
Me too!
At spot 27:40, for example: Is it just me, or are you noticing the Kindle base model and Kindle Oasis as having a whiter, less yellowy, background? Any insights? I've seen mentions of "cool" light and "warm light" for some model e-readers, but I never paid much attention until now. Maybe there's an adjustment setting, anyways?
You are seeing the auto adjusting warm light adjusting at different speeds. The base model doesn't adjust at all, so reading in the dark can be a bit more harsh because the light stays cool.
@@onemanbookclub2585 Interesting. Thanks. I've always liked my Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight's white lighting; maybe it didn't auto-adjust to the warmer yellowy look you're teaching me about. I’m reading now that some of the Kindle models let you manually adjust the warm vs cool lighting…fabulous.
I really wanted the Oasis and my local store has one they are holding for me, I currently have the 16gb 11th gen Paperwhite and they’re willing to trade that in and I pay $100 more to get an 8gb Oasis no ads, do you recommend I do that even though the Oasis has been discontinued?
I just fear it’s longevity as I don’t want to upgrade for the next ten years if I can.
Pls let me know asap as I need to pick it up asap if I am trading in.
Do it!
I'm reading this 3 months after your posts... so what happened next...? 😂
