Yes, There is no eye strain or issues with reading on a tablet vs the ereader unless you are outside then the ereader wins

i’ve read a lot of books on my iPad Mini (2nd generation from 2014). i also have a Kindle Paperwhite purchased two years ago which gets much use. With aging eyes i find the 8 inch colour screen of the iPad easier to see key elements within cover art of books in my Kindle Library. Then i can readily select the next book I wish to load onto the Paperwhite. The iPad Mini is also better for creating and editing notes and re-positioning the cursor precisely within them than the Kindle. Often i prefer the capability to continuously scroll down or up vertically through a book than swiping right or left to the desired page..This especially when the Kindle ereader fails to synchronize to the correct line on the next page. I’m fortunate to have both devices, thus enhancing my reading pleasure.

I’ve been using it since the first release of the kindle app, every day, for several hours a day. Never experienced eye strain or discomfort. Pages display perfectly in full colour, pages turn smoothly in milliseconds with no flickering refresh. I honestly don’t know why anyone ever uses a kindle device. I tried my wife’s and it’s absolutely awful.

Great tip

cz real kindle is dedicated towards reading only and doesn't demand any heavy processing in it. thus providing great battery backup..

Took my iPad mini 6 on holiday. Spent around 5-6 hours reading per day. Got paper like on it. I used my iPhone for listening to audiobooks from audible for probably 1-2 hours a day. But even when I had used my iPad mini for most of the day, it still had 15-20% power left. That included reading and looking at some KZfaq channels for news and sport, and even the odd film. Charging it up whilst having lunch I use a solar charger that was about the size of an iPhone but twice as thick increased the remaining charge by 10-15%. Then I popped it on charge at night. I would not have use the kindle longer during the day and apart from a bit of contrast issue during direct sunlight, it was far better and more flexible. Kindle is great if you don’t need the functionality of a computer. Otherwise the iPad mini is probably the best tablet for most users who don’t need a computer replacement.

amazing, glad it helped

Thanks for watching!

that is exactly why i stop reading on ipad and came back to kindle

Swipe down. Tap focus mode. Done… no notifications. iPad for the win. 😀

Ignorant. That doesn't do anything. The temptation to use all the features of the IPad is still right there. An IPad is not a good reading experience. It is much heavier to hold. The light on the IPad is hard on your eyes. People who use a Kindle understand why a Kindle is far superior to any other device for reading books.

It takes five seconds to change the settings around

@@wondawomenluvsupaman I have several different iPads. Anytime I want to read with them I either use a stand or I use another method to hold it up. iPads are too heavy to hold and read with like a book or a Kindle e-reader. The books I will read with the ipad are picture books like Ken Burns the Civil War. I have a lot of books like that. I can read all day and have with a Kindle e-reader, I have 8+ Kindle e-readers. I own every new model except for the Scribe I have No use for that one right now. After an hour my eyes hurt reading on an iPad. The iPad or any other tablet computer is Good for Books with pictures but if you are an avid Book reader always use the Kindle the reading experience cannot be topped. The Kindle's least expensive model now has a built in light making it an outstanding device. I bought mine for Less than $50.00 Brand New ew. I paid $150 for the most recent Kindle Oasis I bought the newest Model Brand New. People like to complain about the price for a New Kindle e-reader but I have Never paid full price for a New Kindle. Several times a Year they go on sale for huge discounts. My Kindle Oasis was more than 60% off. You can try and pretend that an iPad is a good device for reading on but it is Not. This video is laughable...

True. I love reading those manuals apple offers in their book store

Stop lying. Reading on an IPad is nothing like the experience of reading a book. The harsh light on an IPad is bad for your eyes. A Kindle is designed with e-ink to be easy on your eyes. At night you can use its yellow light which is very easy on the eyes. The color of the text and the lighted page is just like a book.

@@JesusSavesSinnersKindle is weak and pathetic for reading anything. God help anybody who thinks the Kindle is better.

Thanks a lot! It’s actually not my not channel but thought I would focus on on some things I really enjoy. I appreciate the support.

Thanks a lot!

No problem, I have added it to the description, but here's another link amzn.to/3JwenJw

​@@samuelbuckingham thank you!

I’m sure the Duo can provide a good experience but the aim of the video was to help people get more out of tech they already own rather need to buy more.

@@samuelbuckingham Sure, understood that. I've spent 7 years trying to address this problem across IPads, Android, Windows devices and now Eink tablets. So far the best ones are the Andoid based Surface Duo and the Kindle Scribe.

Yeah I completely agree, as someone who owns kindles, if I have one to hand I will always grab it over the iPad for the reasons you’ve said. But if I didn’t have one or had gone somewhere with my iPad instead and no kindle I would definitely still use it and with some changes to the set up it’s much more enjoyable than otherwise. I’d be interested to hear your thought on using the Samsung. I have an iPhone 14 pro as my device and carry a 14 plus for my work and never use either for reading. Maybe I should.

True. Well said.

Why is a it crazy to read iPad in packed subway? Sorry I’ve never rode in one. Thanks

@@dhrtiwalter8670coming from NYC, reading an iPad on a subway is like asking to get robbed

i think it's the kindle app he's using.

Same. I was wondering which one it was as well.

Appologies, I struggled to locate it at first but have since added it to the description. Here it is amzn.to/3JwenJw

That’s not a million miles off what the Matt screen protectors are the do have the look and feel of tracing paper so I bet the end result is very similar

It won’t be for long, way too many competitors which colour e ink screens now.

I’m from the UK

Maybe check out my video before this where I compare every model of kindle as I’ve been using them every day for about 15 years and love them. The point of this video isn’t if your thinking about buying a kindle, then buy an iPad instead. It’s if you already own an iPad can you get a decent reading experience from it and I believe with these tips you definitely can.

​@@samuelbuckinghamAnyone who is an avid reader would never consider an iPhone an iPad, any phone or tablet a good device for reading. I have owned several different iPhones and 7 or so different iPads. I currently have and use 2 iPads. I tried using the Kindle app for years on phones and on tablets including the iPad. Trying to read on these gave me terrible headaches. Not to mention with the heavy tablets, including the iPad. It was very tiring to hold them for reading. I would prop them up on a pillow or try anything to be able to read without hurting my hands and getting my arms tired. So 8 years ago I decided I would try using a Kindle because I had already invested a lot of money in my Kindle library. I discovered that people who love using the Kindle e-ink reader were right. I talked to friends of mine who used them, looked at theirs before I bought mine. I right now own and use 6 different versions of the Kindle from the 1st 10 inch Kindle to my Kindle Oasis. I use them exactly like a Book. I enjoy reading several different books at a time. So I go from one Kindle with a book I am currently reading to another Kindle with another book 📚 I am currently reading. I know other people who do this too. They even have a Kindle with Mystery books only on it another with only Classic Books on it and so on. I would never tell someone that an iPad was a good device for reading books on. An iPad is a horrible device for reading books on. Anyone who can afford an iPad can afford to buy a Kindle. Any iPad user who is an avid reader will get headaches from using an iPad to read on, that is a scientific fact. People who read on iPads are not avid readers. For example there are people like yourself who make videos exactly like this one about the iPad. I have talked with them and got them to be honest. In truth these people do not enjoy reading. When they read they read a physical book. Yes they only read one book on an iPad to make their videos. I have talked with numerous different iPad readers as well. I discovered they really could not be called iPad book readers either because at best they would complete 3 books a year. Many people who are in the comment section on these videos are not readers. They are casual readers at best. They read less than 2 hours a week. What they do is read for 15 minutes before they go to bed.

@@samuelbuckingham This video is great. I have a lot of trouble reading on the Kindle device outside. I also like to switch between audible and the Kindle app and you need the ipad for that. The Kindle App does so much more than the Kindle device. Thanks for the tip on the screen cover. I'll give that a try. This is definitely not an old problem.

@@barbaraross3853 I have never had any trouble reading my Kindle e-ink readers outside. Frankly it's pretty Stupid to try and use any type of screen in direct sunlight. It is Not a good thing to spend time outside in direct sunlight. You obviously are Not an Avid reader. Kindles and other e-ink readers are extremely popular among Avid readers because they absolutely cannot be beat. The e-ink technology is so good that the screen looks like an actual book, very easy on the eyes. Kindle e-ink readers are far Superior to an iPad because an iPad is very harsh light to try and read on for very long. iPads are very heavy for holding and trying to read on for a long time. Kindles have a very long battery life. iPads have very short battery life in comparison. A Kindle e-ink reader is something you can easily take anywhere, just put it in your pocket. If you happen to lose it you are not going to be losing the price of an iPad which is 10 times or more expensive. You can leave your Kindle on your desk at work and not fear someone will steal it. I have had 2 iPads stolen from me. People love to steal Apple products.

LOL. I laugh at BOTH of you in real book in my hand, which cannot be retroactively censored/modified or summarily ERASED, without you breaking into my room and finding where I hid it.

At my age I am finding my Kindle Paperwhite or old iPad mini is much less weighty and awkward than a large print hardcover book. Also, i read when awaking in the wee hours; at those times dark mode is invaluable for not disturbing my sleeping wife LOL 😉

@@Stalinfalcon I do read books.

Why you hating? Maybe people like reading on a iPad, why people have need to make every into opposites groups? People with books making fun of kindle users, kindle users of iPad users? We all read fucking books chill out

Kindle books you purchase are safe from being charged. All you have to do is to turn off automatic book 📖 updates. The ability to have my entire book library in my hands at the same time beats a paper book every day of the week. I also have thousands of 100% free Kindle books 📚. Not garbage books no one wants to read. Books that are offered free from current top authors. I have gotten all the classics for free too. I happen to love the classics. The cost of buy new best-selling novels is a lot less expensive than buying the paper version. Kindle daily, weekly and monthly deals deeply discount every top selling authors books. A $45.00 book 📖 will cost $3.00. The price to build a high quality library is incredibly cheap compared to what physical books cost.
