We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version th-cam.com/users/postUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.
Good job for identifying the ambient light sensor correctly (I knew you would). 99% of goofballs have said that it's behind the glossy plastic on the back. Dead wrong. I am in love with my Voyage. It's the best e-reader ever made, and e-readers ARE necessary. Tablets sufficeth not, naysayers! I'm proud of you for dealing with the "special offers." They bothered me so badly that I paid the $20 to disable them within the first 5 minutes. Haha. Great review as always, my friend.
Thanks Quinn. And I absolutely agree, e-ink is a much better technology for reading text. Not to mention it's much lighter to handle with less distractions since it's a single purpose device.
I bought the first generation kindle many years ago. My god. The screen on this one refreshes so much quicker than my old one. And a backlight? Revolutionary
I was debating upgrading from an old Kindle, and I checked an Oasis out at a store. When I saw this review. however, I decided to go with the Voyage. And I absolutely love it.
pam edwards He definitely has the best review on this particular Kindle. I think I’ve made my decision now on which kindle to buy, and spoiler alert, it’s this one
For me the "word wise" function is one of the most useful. Because as a non native reader, it's sometimes difficult to understand several words... Everything the word wise option doesn't cover, is covered by the dictionary function. I would never have thougth, that such a device would replace my beloved books... But it somehow did. Huge recommendation from someones who always collected books - and still will. But my reading happens now on this device :).
Wow, i have a 1st gen paperwhite and these additions are fantastic. I can't think of what else they could add to improve the kindle further. Time to upgrade i think! Great review too, thanks.
The reason folks that the screen blinks for refreshing. and video won't work is this is a type setting machine. Its electronic ink. It is for viewing text. On the beach at high noon even. Its meant to be like a sheet of paper. he contrast and viewing angle is ridiculous. And almost zero eye strain. It is useless to compare this to a tablet. They are simply not made for the same purpose.
Do you remember if you had the adaptive brightness on in this video? The screen looks unusually blue-ish. I'm considering buying one of these used as it's still the best Kindle Amazon ever made in terms of contrast and clarity of text. But I am slightly concerned about the florescent blue-ishness of the light. The current kindle oasis with warm light is superior in this respect. It's a shame that it still can't match the contrast on the Voyage nearly six years later!
just curious, what would you say, if i told you, the resolution, is NOT 300 ppi? it is closer to 298.6. I find this funny because the 2012/2013 paperwhites resolution was actually 213.33(repeating), not 212, and it was 166.66(repeating) for the 167 kindle 8 the math in case you are interested: 1430/(sqrt(36/32113)*143) or 1080/(sqrt(36/32113)*108)
I just hate how they placed the Power button on the backside. It just makes it impossible for Voyage to have decent outer case like Kindle Paperwhite has. Since I can't have leather casing like Paperwhite, I decided not to change my Kindle Paperwhite with Voyage. That is kind of major off for me. Bad decision really bad decision.
Hey Mike, when do we see the same for the New Kindle Oasis? I usually wait to watch your detailed videos before deciding on purchase. Hope to see it soon. Thanks.
Hey, so, just a heads up - I bought a Kindle with 'special offers' and contacted Amazon support via web chat to ask if I could buy my way out of them or whatever in the future. Dude just unsubscribed my Kindle from them, for free. I'm in the UK so this might not be their policy worldwide, but seriously, give it a shot.
Hi @DetroitBORG, nice video! I appreciate it, and I love the detail. :) On a side note, is it possible for you to upload 60hz videos next time? :) Thanks, and keep up the good work!
I think they are missing one.. very important feature... "Text-to-Speech"... Which allows you to listen through an electronic voice doing the actual reading for you....so you just sit there and listen to it..like an audiobook... I don't see this feature on the Voyage or the Paperwhite!... like previous kindle versions.... Why did they remove it?.... That is why ... I haven't changed my Keyboard kindle version.. or my XD version...since I use the Text-to-speech quite often....specially when driving ...!
It costs $200 !!!! They could include a damm wall charger in it !! And why the heck do we have to pay more to remove ads !!! Sure its a decent e-reader, but they should give a little more for all that money
Pushkar Lakhe But why you want to remove ads? As far as I know they only appears when kindle is turned off. I have my old kindle keyboard with ads and to be honest I like them.
The ads are actually the most unobtrusive I have ever seen (used Kindle Keyboard, 3rd gen), and I found myself even clicking on some of them. A lot are discounts.
Hey Mike, care to do a quick comparison with the Nexus 7? I own a Nexus 7 and I really don't see the point for me to buy the Kindle Voyage. Is it more tiresome to read on a IPS LCD display than E-ink? Does it make a difference?
***** Probably the battery life and easier to read under the sun. Although battery life on Nexus 7 isn't that bad if you are using it for reading. You can definitely get 7+ hours.
Why not? Thats what I do anyway. Im charging my old kindle keyboard once and I read up to 2 hours everyday on it for about three weeks. But I have to mention that when my kindle was brand new I could read on it even up to for weeks without charging. You dont know much about e-ink eraders, do you?
They should upgrade the touch sensor on these kindles. I have Paper White 2 and it's too slow to hold down a word and look for dictionary or turnin pages sometimes, its just not responsive.. I rather use my Kindle App on my iPad.
Brandon Johnson What if I don't like a book then, I paid for nothing. And by the way I don't read books at all, I was wondering about this for my mother. she likes book and I thought about getting her one. And of course I'll get it all for free! Not everyone lives on welfare and gets paid 2000$ a month! The solid salary on my country is 500~600€ (like 600~700$) and most people are unemployed.
To be cheap, legally, like i am: You can rent Kindle books from the library using OverDrive. It's awesome. Or browse for free books on BookBub or other sites that keep track of Amazon is offering for free.
Ehem -_- ............. I think there used to be a device which had rounded edges , very light weight, nice e ink display,GLOWLIGHT........ The nook simple touch with glowlight
This product looks nice to those people who likes to read books a lot. But android tablet will more worth to those who want make everything with their tablet. I wonder how many people buy this tablet ? By the way it has good exterior design and attractive user interface.
I'm obviously late to this party....but I love watching ereader videos....weird,i know. Anyway....while watching this video, I'm reminded why I didn't keep The Voyage.... that Yellow (top) to Blue (bottom) screen.
The problem off kindle is the poor variety of formats, basic only work with Amazon contend, the Kobo ereaders are infinite superior, books , magazines, comics, etc, all work fine.
Many thanks for sharing this video with is!! I've 2 questions.. does kindle support Arabic books? 2) Can i find English/Arabic dictionary?! thanks a lot!
Many will ask why should I spend 199$ on a reader where I can buy a full Tablet with even less than that? Well the same reason people still buy iPod's and digital cameras. Its a specialized product for a specific layer of consumers. I like the idea of readers but I think the 79$ ones are pretty good for what a reader only offers.
We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version th-cam.com/users/postUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on.

Your videos are so detailed that i prefer them over any other review ... Its an honour to have a tech reviewer like you ...
Good job for identifying the ambient light sensor correctly (I knew you would). 99% of goofballs have said that it's behind the glossy plastic on the back. Dead wrong.
I am in love with my Voyage. It's the best e-reader ever made, and e-readers ARE necessary. Tablets sufficeth not, naysayers!

Thanks Quinn. And I absolutely agree, e-ink is a much better technology for reading text. Not to mention it's much lighter to handle with less distractions since it's a single purpose device.
***** There boring and dull to look at, plus e ink is a lot easier to read from than actual in printed on some paper.

Yes, you are right.
Bought a Kindle. Started using it. Cannot go back. Love it.
Awesome review!

I was debating upgrading from an old Kindle, and I checked an Oasis out at a store. When I saw this review. however, I decided to go with the Voyage. And I absolutely love it.
I thought they were cancelled?
I have watched a lot of videos but yours is by far the best the information is something that I'm going I'm going back to over and over
pam edwards He definitely has the best review on this particular Kindle. I think I’ve made my decision now on which kindle to buy, and spoiler alert, it’s this one
All your unboxing and review videos are amazing. They have always shaped my opinion about the product in your video. Thanks!

Great review too, thanks.
Thanks for the great videos. All of them go so in depth and really show the device.
Very helpful thank you! My kindle's screens is cracked now and they don't do screen replacements here in South Africa and am looking to get a new one.
Now that's what I call a good and useful review. Thank you Sir!
Very good review. Excellent coverage and pacing.
>Covers the Send-To email with finger to prevent people from seeing it
>Literally 2 seconds earlier it shows in full 🤣
Nice video! Mike your videos are very well detailed
Excellent review, Mike!
Sorry I just came to comment this. I saw Steve jobs on the kindle I just thought it was hilarious lol

My KV is minutes away. Great review - with little or no wasted time, space or words :-) Nice job.
The Road is such a good book.
Hi @DetroitBORG, nice video! I appreciate it, and I love the detail. :) On a side note, is it possible for you to upload 60hz videos next time? :) Thanks, and keep up the good work!
All your videos are great, greetings from Mexico
Awesome video Mike,like always. ;D
Going to wait for the Voyage 2 which is coming out in September or October.
Thanks for this very comprehensive review 👍

Cool review. If it was at around half the price new I'd buy it.
Maybe next years version...
It costs $200 !!!! They could include a damm wall charger in it !! And why the heck do we have to pay more to remove ads !!! Sure its a decent e-reader, but they should give a little more for all that money

Thats nuts man the adds
I like the page turner, but on most Samsung GALAXY products have a setting for turning the page by using the volume rocker
Google play books has this functionality built in to the app.
hey mike where's the review of Samsung gear circle?????
Hey Mike, Can you update video on Xiaomi Mi4? Would be helpful if you could get one and share the info and specs. Thanks in advance!!
the start of his password starts with 'd' lol
He probably uses a fake password in his videos, then stops, backspace and enter his real password…
***** or maybe its his real password to make us think that he is writing a fake password.
TechXSoftware Perplexing…
Or maybe he doesn't give a damn cause we're never gonna meat him
TechXSoftware Very interesting
Can you "scroll down, (or up)", continuously, with variable speed, (....so you don't have to constantly fiddle with the page turning buttons)?...
Very nice review indeed! Thanks
Whats the additional value from a Kindle in comparison to a tablet Mike? My feeling says its not worth the money enough
Cool seeing this while using a Kindle basic 10th gen 2019
The books that we can read should be purchased from amazon only or we can also read other books that we have purchased from different website.
Nice video as always
Excellent review Mike, on a side note you could include grams for weight next time *****
I don't understand why they put those page press turners at the sides and leave on the swipe and touch to turn pages, it's confusing.
do a setup tour pliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiz
is that an e-ink paper just like in yotaphone's back screen ?.
Hi Mike, probably an off topic question, but can you tell me what watch you wearing in this video ?
It's a Bulova watch, amazingly I actually have a very old video on this.
Nice, looks interesting.
No issues with uneven tinting from the backlight?
Will you review the LG g flex 2 or the asus zenfone 2? Any of those?
What's it like to use this to do gmail? I'm assuming it's possible to do it with the 3G version and the web browser.
Will you review the new kindle oasis?
@DetroitBorg can you show the list of books you read
Hey Mike, care to do a quick comparison with the Nexus 7? I own a Nexus 7 and I really don't see the point for me to buy the Kindle Voyage. Is it more tiresome to read on a IPS LCD display than E-ink? Does it make a difference?
***** Probably the battery life and easier to read under the sun. Although battery life on Nexus 7 isn't that bad if you are using it for reading. You can definitely get 7+ hours.
***** Nice deal man!
***** 7 hours? Here on Kindle you can read books for three weeks on one charging.
Kanis Solen Yeah, but I don't think you will read continuously for 3 weeks...
Why not? Thats what I do anyway. Im charging my old kindle keyboard once and I read up to 2 hours everyday on it for about three weeks. But I have to mention that when my kindle was brand new I could read on it even up to for weeks without charging. You dont know much about e-ink eraders, do you?
***** "Alright so lets go ahead and...." The best lines on TH-cam
Does your kindle have yellowish on the top of the device?
struggling to decide on the kindle voyage or a 10 inch tablet . Opinions please
David ONeill tablets have poor battery life and a reflective screen that will likely get on your nerves if you read outside.
They should upgrade the touch sensor on these kindles. I have Paper White 2 and it's too slow to hold down a word and look for dictionary or turnin pages sometimes, its just not responsive.. I rather use my Kindle App on my iPad.
I love your video with 4k =)
for the first time you did not check the content first you just went straight for the kindle seem you were quite excited
can you dou a new setup tour please
Am I crazy to wish that the screen where bigger?
HDaviator Yeah, me too. Like in Kobo Aura H2O - screen 6,8" .
I wonder how this compares to the new one
Thanks! Can I transfer pdf file from my computer into it?
What is the model number printed on the back of the Kindle?
just about everything that i wanted to knkw best video ever...... superbbbbbbbbbbb ....
Can you read any pdf in this e-book or any kindle whatsoever? Because I'd rather get free e-books or illegal copies than have to pay 3~4$ for a book!
Brandon Johnson
What if I don't like a book then, I paid for nothing. And by the way I don't read books at all, I was wondering about this for my mother. she likes book and I thought about getting her one.
And of course I'll get it all for free! Not everyone lives on welfare and gets paid 2000$ a month!
The solid salary on my country is 500~600€ (like 600~700$) and most people are unemployed.
If you're as dirt poor as you say you are, then I can think of many things more important to spend $200USD.
Brandon Johnson
You buy this once, you get it for a lifetime
To be cheap, legally, like i am: You can rent Kindle books from the library using OverDrive. It's awesome. Or browse for free books on BookBub or other sites that keep track of Amazon is offering for free.
Nick Péloquin
Thanks will give it a glance
Can I upload my ePub or PDFs files to the kindle voyage ?
Lol 10:23 the word shit is on the page 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
+Marsha Aksinja How old are you? :p
i found the upper part of my kindle screen is a bit yellow and the lower part is white in color. is it normal?
Never shows side view...
Take care detroit
I need this!
Ehem -_- ............. I think there used to be a device which had rounded edges , very light weight, nice e ink display,GLOWLIGHT........ The nook simple touch with glowlight
6.7 inches? :D Nevertheless, great video!
This is what I call a review
Very nice gadget for reading
This thing is kinda cool
the pressure page flip on the bezel is useless
what is the memory of this kindle
The page turn design isn't unique, the Nook did that from the start.
+FuzzleLand What is unique is the screen. Kindle rules
This product looks nice to those people who likes to read books a lot. But android tablet will more worth to those who want make everything with their tablet. I wonder how many people buy this tablet ? By the way it has good exterior design and attractive user interface.
You show make a video on how you make your videos.
Review the new dell xps 13
nice
Anyone hear the faint EVP at around 07:40
why just black and white?
E-ink screen
I'm obviously late to this party....but I love watching ereader videos....weird,i know.
Anyway....while watching this video, I'm reminded why I didn't keep The Voyage.... that Yellow (top) to Blue (bottom) screen.
How much is it
The problem off kindle is the poor variety of formats, basic only work with Amazon contend, the Kobo ereaders are infinite superior, books , magazines, comics, etc, all work fine.
Cool
Hhmm, I think I'll stick to my kindle paper white!!
Very good but wish review was a little slower.too fast
Origami is a Japanese word, means "paper folding"
Many thanks for sharing this video with is!!
I've 2 questions.. does kindle support Arabic books? 2) Can i find English/Arabic dictionary?!
thanks a lot!

Kukielka? Isn't this polish surname?
This is a erader, not a tablet........
