What do you think of the latest Kindles. Worth the upgrade if you're already a Kindle user, or is it good enough to tempt you if you're not?

I've been using some old PaperWhite for almost a decade and I finally decided to upgrade. Super excited!

Literally motivated to do this by the fact that my sleep habits are awful, so I'm deciding to cut off all screens an hour before bed and do some reading instead, hopefully to get more quality sleep. I've always liked the convenience of an eReader and kudos to Amazon, my old PaperWhite is still going strong, but I don't have it on me! Being away for college, it's sitting back home. So I decided to look into getting a new one and the bigger screen, warm lighting, and improved PPI/contrast vs. my old one seem like a big enough upgrade that I pulled the trigger.

I bought 2 Kindle Paperwhites as Xmas gifts for my nieces, and I had an Amazon gift card, so I got the Signature for me, with 3 months Kindle Unlimited. I knew I would like it…but didn’t know I would LOVE it. Had it about a week and have read three books.

As this is my first very own Kindle. I am very pleased with it. I used to read years ago some physical books and I have read a select very few on my iPhone but the experience is totally different. I am actually enjoying reading again. It's not a pain carrying around a book and it fits okay in my pocket. I have been reading more than I ever would if I didn't buy the kindle.

Thank you for this! I'm in the exact same situation (own an Oasis, looking at Paperwhite Signature) and this was SO helpful.

I hope Amazon will release a new oasis. It seems unreasonable to buy a 2019 oasis vs 2021 paperwhite now.

Great video - definitely leaning towards upgrading my old Paperwhite now! Thanks :)

I love the shape of the Oasis with its physical page turn buttons, so I won't be switching. In the next Oasis, I would like to see: 8-inch E-Ink Carta 1200 screen, stylus support for taking notes, USB-C, and Overdrive integration. Color would be nice as long as it does not compromise black/white text contrast or sharpness. I don't really care about wireless charging or 3G support.

Ebook readers can potentially save CO2 but not if you constantly upgrade them every time Amazon launches a new reader. The fundamental technology is identical. Save the planet and stop buying incremental updates.

I gave a Like as Keli almost reply every comment, and politely.

I just bought the newest Paperwhite for kids for myself. I think it's most price value.
1) Exactly same device as Paperwhite.
2) free case
3) one year kids+ subscription with audible.
4) Two years worry Free warranty.

For kids+ subscription, if I don't active it when I setup my kindle, the device just exactly a 8GB Paperwhite, no different.

Hope this will give one more choice to everyone.

I love the physical buttons on the Oasis. That’s why I bought it when I already had the Paperwhite. I would miss those buttons.

I upgraded my 2018 #Paperwhite to the Signature Edition 9 days ago and love it. 💙 Although, I am curious what the 2022 #Oasis will be or will they end production on them like the #Voyage? 🤔

I got the oasis, and I'm quite happy with it. Oddly enough I've actually been "reading" more with the speechify web service, especially if I need to get through the information fast and get the gist of it before deciding if i want to dive deeper into the content or not. Like every form of content, there are books which are just empty calories and not worth the page count tied to it, especially "info" books. So this helps me quickly skim or speed read through it.

I own Kpw3, Kindle Voyage, Oasis 2, 3, Pwt 5. I love Oasis’s physical buttons and design, as well as its glass screen and metal back, giving it just much more premium feel. voyage is like a squeezed size Oasis, it still has the clearest screen contrast and resolution. If Voyage line is still updating, it would clearly win Pwt series and even Oasis.

I upgraded my paperwhite 2 to the signature but had serious hand cramping due to smaller bezels. Was super bummed because I thought all the improvements made it perfect! I ended up ‘downgraded’ to the oasis that I found preowned for a good price. Signature is going back to Amazon today!

[tesselliott]

I should have jumped on the signature edition when it first came out, but I waited until Black Friday thinking it would go on sale, but they didn't put that one on sale :( So, I decided to go with the newest Oasis because I think the one handed grip for the Oasis is more fit to my style of holding my device. However, I still love my 2017 Kindle Paperwhite (despite how slow it is at everything) so I plan to continue to use it as well, depending on different scenarios. I mainly wanted to upgrade for Bluetooth compatibility for whispersync.

Excellent video; can't wait for the next one.

Let me guess... it's going to be something related with Readwise is it not? Maybe in conjunction with Notion?

I've been thinking in checking them out, but I am still trying to find a free option (maybe a Calibre add-on?)
Anyway, just wanted to say hi.

[nordisk]

I'm waiting for a Kindle with an 8-inch screen for more comfortable reading. Hopefully the new Oasis will be like that.

[GabrielSchenk]

Get out of my mind! I've literally just been wrestling with the choice of a Paperwhite or Oasis so this video is very timely. I'm not looking to upgrade my own Paperwhite (although the quicker response time is tempting) but I'm deciding what to buy my mum for Christmas. I think I will go for the Oasis as she prefers physical buttons and the Oasis has two for page turning. I'm not a big fan of all the swipe controls in my Paperwhite as it doesn't feel responsive enough to make them work without some annoyance... I wish I had a physical button for going up one layer in a menu system, double press to reach the home page. I keep swiping up and changing the font size when I want to go to my library, etc.

My mum pointed out that arthritis and touch screen controls don't always work well together either, so it can also be an accessibility issue.

I just got the newest paperwhite, yes its a winner...over the years I had one of the first paperwhite - voyage with origami case (my favorite of all) and a oasis ....Ive been away from kindles and reading on my laptop and phone, its nice to be back to e ink
