AMAZON KINDLE REVIEWS SERIES

More than a decade after the release of the iPod and no one is even close to Apple. I do think that Amazon, in general, is still a step behind Apple in terms of design of consumer electronics and UIs on said devices. There are no pop ups, not notifications, no wireless issues, no fade out in the sun, and no glaring brightness at night. Having read books on my iPad, I can definitely state that the Kindle Paperwhite is a superior experience. It works because there is no distraction. The fancier and more expensive Oasis offers no appreciable upgrade, and the Paperwhite’s simplicity is a feature not a flaw. I am also convinced that the Kindle Paperwhite is the unit to buy.

With the ability to read in the sunlight AND at night, plus the convenience of slim device with tons of books, I haven’t even thought about buying a non-reference book since I got the Kindle for Christmas. The Kindle has completely changed how and how much I read. The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Its not like there is a speaker or some port that prevents a change in placement. There is no reason the button couldn’t be on the side, either. It doesn’t happen often, but it has happened more than once. By having the button at the bottom of the unit, it means that you can inadvertently turn it off. The power button should be on the side, not the bottom that rests on your person when you are reading. This, like the Echo ear buds, is an inexplicable commitment to old tech when the new tech is cheap and way better. Frankly every consumer electronic from drills to e-readers should have Qi charging. No wires, no ports that get damaged, nothing to swap or replace. The fact that some devices don’t have this charging method in 2020, to me, seems stupid. What’s even better than that is Qi charging. It is better than any e-reader out there, other than the top of the line Amazon Oasis, and yet it is Paperwhite is $149.95. It is, for the record, vastly better than the interface on the pretty meh Amazon Echo True Wireless headphones.Īmazon has made it clear that they are going to dominate the market here and they have priced the Paperwhite accordingly. Amazon clearly took a page from Apple in the look and feel of the UI. It works very, very well and everything is intuitive, working exactly like you would like it to.

But the real positive here is that I have never had a freeze, failure, or hiccup with the Kindle.

I will send you the QSP Parrot if you are the first to name the series AND the book in the comments below.īecause I do not have a scoring system for e-readers and I don’t intend to make one, I am going to use the format I have for video overviews with a recommendation at the end.ĭownloading books is not a taxing thing, so, of course, the device is fast. Since then I have read 13 books including the series that is captured in the photos below. I received mine as a Christmas present this year. Here is a written review of the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite. If you travel and don’t have access to wifi, then maybe you want to load up on the storage so you can read uninterrupted for a very long time. Given that downloads are basically instantenous and the fact that I do not read more than one book at a time, the 8 GB version is fine for me. There are two versions, one with 32 GB of storage ($159.95) and one with 8 GB of storage ($129.95). The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is just such a piece of gear. But every once in a while something will fit the EDC mold AND be a piece of tech. Some pieces of tech, regardless of how difficult they are to use, are required in modern life (think: cellphone). Is this piece of tech small enough and important enough to carry everyday? Is it durable enough to carry everyday? Does it have features or performance that warrant taking it with you everywhere? Very few pieces of tech answer all three questions in the affirmative. But sometimes its fun to look at tech from an EDC perspective. I know I am late to the e-reader reviews, but this is not a review of it as a piece of tech, per se, but as an EDC item. I am going to review the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite. I am trying out something a bit different here.
