I use my kindle for reading at home specially before bed, and I carry my iPad Mini everywhere using focus which turn on automatic greyscale mode

My favorite thing is to use my iPad mini 6. I use it to read and also audiobooks. plus I am read and listen and read at the same time on my mini and it follows along with you while reading!! I do not use physical books very often anymore. I do buy them for my shelf still lol. I would say the iPad is for real the best way to read. My kindle I use for ebooks only, KU, or if I have a slight headache but want to read.

Yes, I’m a “split-screen iPad: Kindle app on the left, Notability app on the right” kind of guy.

Kindle reader is great, but many tech books won’t even load. And black-and-white graphics/images often don’t cut it, if the tech book can load.

Another thing that really helps me as I get older is the ability to enlarge font on tablets. Print books' text is too small for me anymore. I guess authors and publishers are incentivized to make font small so that it's less cost to print (less pages, less ink etc.) and maximizing profit.

I started with a Kindle 2 in 2009 and read 100s of books on it while also eventually using the kindle app on iPhone and MacBook. Currently I no longer use the kindle and use kindle app on iPad 10th and iPhone. People are often surprised to see me reading on my iPhone but I’ve read dozens of books start to finish on my phone.

I use my kindle for books and my ipad for reading comic/graphic novels and general productivity.

I have a kindle and an ipad. I read and listen to a lot of ebooks on Libby and BorrowBox which can’t be done on the kindle (unless you live in the USA) so I read more on my iPad and for this reason am thinking of ditching the kindle in favour of a mini ipad which i can carry with me and read whenever.

I love my kindle and my I pad! I got my I pad 9th gen for school but I also like to use it for reading if I need some color when reading!

For purely reading purposes, nothing beats Kindle Paperwhite. But I do read books on iPad mini 6.

Love the video, also would love your suggestion on buying an ebook from Amazon or apple books? which one would you prefer?

This is so helpful. I have had 2 Kindles and I just don't like the tech. I have an Apple trade-in gift card to spend and I'm giving the iPad a try!

iPad mini in do not disturb focus mode. Also cuts down on my number of devices.

Terrific video. I agree with virtually all of what you had to say. If a book is particularly important to you it may be good idea to buy a physical copy, if only as backup should the digital world somehow evaporate and steel your books with it. But, I think that is a small risk indeed, and even physical books are vulnerable to fire, flood and going lost. I use a Kindle and iPad. The Kindle is certainly easier to read in all kinds of lighting and has a wonderfully long battery life. My iPad is largely relegated to reading articles and the like or for short periods. In the end, in this loud and HD world of ours, those of us who have succumbed to its charms are left to try to regain the joys of simply reading, whether by way of physical books or your device of choice.

Sorry, but the Kindle UX (user experience) is pathetic. Slow and erratic touch responsiveness, buggy, poorly designed and limited software, and pitiful handling of PDFs. Bringing back the physical page buttons would help so you aren't forced to touch the retched screen. And don't get me started on the useless built-in browser, and equally buggy and compromised piece of code. An iPad Mini running the Kindle app is infinitely better. And this is coming from a life-long book lover! I also have the latest Kindle Paperwhite.

What about just going to the library and renting books,

I appreciate this but definitely should have at least mentioned a library mixed with computer/iPhone to do a lot of the same stuff and no additional products

Excellent video, Simon. I am a bit of a mess as to what method to follow at reading, because I basically use them almost all 🤭 As a bookworm, I always prefer physical books, which I only read at home because I can easily take notes in my notes app in the iPhone. While commuting, I carry my kindle because it is light. And as an addition, I love listening to audiobooks in BookBeat, which has been an amazing discovery for me. I own an iPad, which is my replacement for my last Macbook, but I find reading with it tiring and inconvenient when I read for fun. Reading for learning I do prefer to do in the iPad for the possibility of taking notes at the same time with my Magic Keyboard. As for distractions…well I get distracted with every single device I use, so…😅😅

I love my Kindle, but I think there are some advantages of physical books that got missed out here (and as some already mentioned, libraries are an option to help with the cost, and personally I often buy mine cheaply secondhand on abebooks): being able to leave the house with only one book rather than a whole selection in my pocket actually really helps me focus and get on with reading. Just like many of us sit down in front of Netflix and spend hours choosing what to watch, at which point we’re too tired to actually watch it, it’s an issue with me and my kindle library. Can’t imagine I’m the only one. I also find physical books really helpful when there’s lots of flicking back and referring to things mentioned earlier or graphs or tables. Much quicker and easier to find the place.

What not mentioned is that for high color graphics book - as of now color e-ink still unable to do justice. book about drawing / painting / fashion / etc are best on ipad or android. i almost bought a color e ink until saw a comparison video. if the book i focused on are less colourful, it would have been great. but it was not, so i ended getting an ipad air m2.

most of these videos focus on reading books. Few say anything about reading pdfs. When reading a pdf I want to scroll, not go page by page. Unfortunately scrolling doesn't work with the E-inks. Also, I would like to have a pdf reader without those annoying editing functions constantly being activated when scrolling.

For fiction a Kindle is great though I would go for a Tolino (I have no idea if those are available outside of Germany), because you aren‘t limited to the Kindle store and adding any other ebook is really easy.

For non-fiction the IPad is superior over any eink reader. I like to work with Zotero. Easy note taking, it‘s kind of free, easy citation if you have to write scientific stuff. But, get a small one. My IPad 12.9 is quite big. Since I use it as a computer replacment it‘s ok and if you do scientific reading you usually don‘t hold books in your hand, because it‘s inefficient for note taking. Distraction might be a disavantage, but just delete anything distractive. Problem solved.
