Huuuuuge #bookhaul today because my #kindle #paperwhite signature edition (11th generation) was delivered today so essentially I have a whole ebook library book haul!

My partner and I also purchased two boxes full of books from an estate sale for $1 a book! #usedbooks

Also, I could not resist the opportunity to show off my new #Nintendo #GameBoy watch while letting a skeleton's hand do the talking about how this nerd feels today! 🤘

TheBookDream I just got a Kindle Oasis! My preferred ebook purveyor is still Kobo, but I am enjoying the ease of porting fanfic 🤣 1y

Kindle Paperwhite Manual: The Definitive User Guide for Mastering Your Kindle Paperwhite | Daniel Forrester

I have been planning on getting one since ages. Finally i am but little advice from listy community would be valuable.

Reggie So I got the paper white as a gift from work and I still prefer to read on my kindle app off my phone just because I‘m able to have a black background and white font for my eyes at night. But I don‘t know how the other one is. Good luck! My dad he also prefers the kindle app off the fire tablet than the paper white I ended up passing along to him. 4y

readingjedi I started on the basic, upgraded to the Paperwhite and now have the Oasis (a gift). The difference between the Oasis and Paperwhite is nowhere near as huge as the difference between the basic and the Paperwhite. I'd definitely recommend the Paperwhite, it's a joy to use and does pretty much everything you need an ereader to do. 4y

Reggie Also go under search and look up the hashtags #paperwhite #oasis #ereader some people have posted about them. 4y

ishan0986 @Reggie hey thanks man. Really helpful. 🙂 4y

ishan0986 @readingjedi yep oasis is out of bounds for now. I am thinking paperwhite as it has the contrast feature which the other one misses. 4y

kezzlou85 I have a paperwhite and love it. Plenty of storage and easy to read no matter the lighting conditions. 4y

TheAromaofBooks If you literally just want to use it for reading, I would go with the Paperwhite. It has a different type of screen that doesn't strain my eyes like reading on a phone or regular tablet does. I noticed a big difference when I switched from my old Kindle Fire to the Paperwhite. However, you can't do anything else on the Paperwhite (like download a game or surf the web), so that is its big disadvantage. 4y

TheLibrarian Paperwhite! The screen is great for reading since it doesn‘t bother my eyes like most technology. Plus you can read it without worrying about glare. I haven‘t used my Kindle Fire since my I got my Paperwhite a few years ago. 4y

BookishMarginalia Paperwhite is best for reading. 4y

tenar You‘re asking between the basic Kindle and the Paperwhite? Not the Fire tablet, right? I had an earlier version of the Paperwhite, and last summer I bought the basic Kindle to replace it. I‘m pleased, it‘s extremely similar, and I used the money I saved to buy the no-ads feature. Last year the major differences left between the basic Kindle and Paperwhite were the pixel density, waterproofing, and memory size. 👇🏻 4y

tenar If you want to read manga on it, read in the bath, load up on Audible audiobooks, or just really want to feel premium, those extras might be something you need. The basic Kindle is so light it almost feels like a toy, and sometimes it takes a few pages for the shadow of a dark image to clear, while my old Paperwhite was heftier and had less of an artifact problem. What is the contrast feature you mentioned? 4y

ishan0986 @tenar on the paperwhite kindle you can turn the background black with the text being white. The basic one misses this feature. I think it's called dark mode. 4y

tenar Oh, got it! If you need that, certainly the Paperwhite‘s the one for you. If you‘re concerned about the brightness level when reading at night, the light on the basic Kindle can go very, very dim (or obviously all the way off, and you can still read with a lamp just like a real book). I use dark mode on all my other devices and am fine with the basic Kindle at night, but it looks like @Reggie would have loved that feature! 4y

tenar P.S. My favorite Kindle feature is one not a lot of people use - it has a dedicated email address to receive documents and books. I love sending long PDFs or public domain classics from Project Gutenberg to my Kindle without having to manually hook up to my PC. Here‘s all the details and accepted formats: https://www.amazon.com/gp/sendtokindle/email 4y

ishan0986 @tenar yup i do this with my kindle app for andriod. But i feel the strain it causes me is quite enough to push me into getting a kindle. I have ordered the paperwhite. 😅 4y

tenar Woohoo! 🎉 How exciting, I hope it brings you hours of reading joy! I wouldn‘t be able to read nearly as much as I like without mine. 4y

Did a thing to my kindle. Had this sticker collecting dust. I think it adds a nice touch. Where are all my doctor who fans?

Fr3NcHtOaSt @LazyOwl I‘m a huge Doctor Who fan and funny enough I got this sticker for free at my local doctor who convention. It was a local library that was there and because I had my library card on me I was able to pick a free sticker. Had to take this one. It was calling out to me. Only fitting it should go on my kindle. 4y

Hey you all, I‘m thinking of getting a new ebook reader, my old one must be about ten years old and I‘m jealous of how the new ones look. I prefer an amazon #kindle because #amazon has the biggest collection of English books, however, I‘m not sure which one (e.g the new #paperwhite).

Does anyone have any experiences about this?

TrishB I have the paperwhite and love it ❤️ 5y

juls29 I have an older kindle and I often use my iPad for ebooks. I like them both for different things. The kindle is my go to for reading outdoors, but when I‘m inside I always use my iPad! 5y

tessavi I switched from a regular tablet to the new paperwhite when it was on sale. I love it! 5y

youneverarrived I‘ve still got my paperwhite I bought years ago but if it ever goes on the blink I would get another one! 5y

thewallflower0707 Thanks to everyone who answered, I appreciate your insight! 5y
