I love owning physical books but I can read so much easier and faster on the kindle. What I've been doing and has worked for me is seeing if a book I want to read is available on kindle unlimited before buying a physical copy. If it is, I'll read it "for free" (Not free because of the subscription price but so much cheaper than buying physical copies of every single book!) and if I finish a book and really love it, I'll buy the physical book to have on my shelf. Just an idea!

Owning a Kindle is truly a game changer. It not only gets you to fall in love with books all over again, it adds a splash of "Self Care" to reading. I own the 11th generation and its such an amazing device to read on. Sometimes I would even be reading in nature. The Kindle alone is such pure magic ❤

The e-reader doesn't strain your eyes like a computer, not only because of the yellow light (which can help) but mostly because the majority of e-readers now a days use E-Ink technology, which is not the same as a regular screen (computer, tablet, etc). When you look at it closely you actually see the differences, is not as shiny as a normal screen 😊

I LOVE my kindle paperwhite 11th gen 16gb the fact that it is so light and portable, doesn’t take up space in my bag nor do I have to worry about my book getting damaged in my bag and I can use light/warm light at night. And using my library card, and kindle unlimited it’s AMAZING! Plus with the built in dictionary, i don’t have to put my book down stop reading to search it on my phone anymore. I just click highlight the word and get my answer lol. I will never go back to physical books.

Recently got a Kindle within the last year and I love it. I have to commute a lot and I read a lot of non-fiction (especially sociology), so Kindle has been an absolute must for me, tbh. My favorite thing about Kindle is that you can change the margins and font size, which helps me focus and read a lot faster than I normally would on a physical book.

My wife gave me a kindle last year and I absolutely love it! My eyesight isn’t the best so the fact I can make the font bigger was a game changer! No more large print physical books from the library. Plus it is so easy to use. I’m not much into technology but I can get books downloaded just fine. As for KU that also is a fantastic service! There are so many books, audiobooks, even magazine subscriptions you can add. Completely worth 10 bucks a month. Plus you can always read a physical book to get that tactile sense you like so much and to annotate in it. Borrowing physical books from friends is something Kindle can’t match nearly as easily. Welcome to the Kindle family. We’re glad you’re here. I subscribed to see what the next video will be about.

I love my kindle paperwhite and my stand up charger. Bought my mom the package for her birthday. My favorite is charging it on the charger in the cover! Second favorite is being able to read in the brightest sunlight. Third favorite is when I read at night before bed my kindle brightness adjusts all the way down. Fourth favorite is seeing the cover of the book when I open it, that makes it feel like a real physical book. I even bought the page turner for cold winter nights snuggled in my bed under covers and can just click to turn the page without pulling my arms out from under the covers. Throw it in my purse and it goes with me everywhere. I also downloaded the Libby app and now get pricey books as e books and if my library system doesn't have it I put in a request to purchase it and every book I have requested they have purchased. Love kindle unlimited. My first 21 book series from kindle unlimited was A.J. Rivers, the Emma Griffin series. Cons: I wish I could read 24/7 ! HAPPY READING!

As a migraine sufferer I read way more with my Kindle! Not having to have the room bright enough to read or a book light is great! I do still read paper books, but I find I am more limited in trying to read with natural lighting which is not sparse in winter. Plus, the cost of a physical book here is approx 20 dollars before tax. Since getting my Kindle in the spring I've read 65 books, I had 3 months of Kindle unlimited free and there is also Prime Reading. I've only bought 3 ebooks and only one was over 10 dollars. I've bought a couple books in hardback that were new releases and the reasoning was that the savings on Kindle wasn't worth not owning the hard copy! Compared to pre-Kindle (even with Kindle app) I was struggling to read a book a month because of eye strain and arthritis in my hands! The warm light really helps and not having the glare!

I've been contemplating buying an ereader for a year or more, now I'm just down to being super torn between a Kindle Basic and a Kindle Paperwhite. I think this video has sold me on the Paperwhite, especially actually being able to see it in someone's hands and on. I also have pretty severe eyestrain & headaches from it so e-ink and the lighting are the two biggest selling points to me, with the price of ebooks being 1/3 of paperbacks being another huge perk. I actually had a NOOK color when I was a kid, about 12 years ago now, and it wasn't e-ink. I have no idea how I used to so much without it burning out my eyes, but those days are gone lol.

I used to hate ebooks too. I hated reading on my phone or iPad but then I found an old kindle my dad used to use and started using it. I liked it so much I upgraded to the kindle paperwhite. I take it with me while traveling. I read an entire book in an 8 hour drive and I never had to worry about not being able to read in the dark. Finished the entire last book of Harry Potter on that ride. Also you mentioned eye strain. It being an e-ink screen, eye strain would be significantly less than it being on an iPad or phone or even laptop. Idk if you noticed but the light doesn't shine directly on you, it's actually a frontlit screen so the light is coming from tbe front and not the back unlike other devices. It also helps to remind yourself to blink a bit more since as you read you blink significantly less than normal.

I absolutely love my Oasis but I'd maybe wait until they announce a new one before purchasing... the battery life is sooooo bad. I read a lot and pretty much have to charge it daily and it's the latest edition. As an example I charged it to full yesterday night, read about 4 hours between then and now ( its 2pm) and it's back down to 50%. I'm hoping they improve battery life on the next version.

If the lighted screen strains your eyes you can turn the light completely off and the screen looks just like a book page… no strain! This is what the first kindles looked like before backlighting was added and doing this also extends the battery life. I only read with back light when I need to because of poor lighting wherever I am.

Kindle you can get books from the library in the states only. I am in Canada and you can’t get library books on kindle. But in Canada you can get library books on kobo. One of the reasons I switched to take books from the library.

Well, about the black and white "problem"... I have a Pocketbook inkpad color and it has a color filter over the eink screen so you have color covers/pictures and crystal clear text still.

One more series I would recommend on Kindle Unlimited is The Shadowhunter Series. Not all the books are on Unlimited, but 5 of the 6 Mortal Instruments books and the entire Infernal Devices series is on there (I absolutely loved Infernal Devices!).

I’m in between getting a kindle as I am going away on so many holidays this year I don’t want to be hauling books around and risk them getting damaged or lost. So I thought a kindle would be a better way but just like you I love reading in hand books I feel like I can connect better but there’s so many books on kindle unlimited that I really want to give a go but not but physically. Do you recommend me getting a kindle? I trust you as you’re my favourite booktuber . I love the video and can’t wait for more :)

I have a question about kindle unlimited because I’ve never used it and haven’t heard much about it. Is it like a library and you have to return the books or are the books officially yours unless you return it?
@alexaraye
@alexaraye Жыл бұрын
As long as you are paying the $9.99 a month, you can keep up to 20 books in your library! If you stop paying, those 20 books you have saved won’t be available to you anymore! You are also able to switch books out of your library at anytime - there is no limit on how many books you can switch in & out of your library/read!
