97 posts
"This new Kindle Paperwhite Manual will help owners of this new E-Reader get the most out of their device. The user guide covers all of the basic instructions, including how to navigate the Kindle Paperwhite, as well as how to access free books and advanced tips such as security features. While you may think it's just a device to read books on, Amazon's Kindle Marketplace is so vast that there is an endless amount of content to get your hands on. "--Provided by publisher.

#tbt from when I got my (one and only) #Kindle.
Best investment ever!
I'm still a sucker for paperback editions, but this device made reading far more accessible and handy, specially for research purposes.
Now I have another cover for it, but I kept the choice of magnetic closings and truly recommend. 🖤📚

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. 3y
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. 3y
Reggie Also go under search and look up the hashtags #paperwhite #oasis #ereader some people have posted about them. 3y

ishan0986 @Reggie hey thanks man. Really helpful. 🙂 3y
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. 3y
kezzlou85 I have a paperwhite and love it. Plenty of storage and easy to read no matter the lighting conditions. 3y
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. 3y
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. 3y
BookishMarginalia Paperwhite is best for reading. 3y
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. 👇🏻 3y
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? 3y
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. 3y
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! 3y
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 3y
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. 😅 3y
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. 3y

rockpools @TheAromaofBooks @squirrelbrain I have spent way too much of my adult life engaged in combat with photocopiers (and losing). Think it‘s an academic librarian thing. Considerably less time battling faxes, Helen - I never got the hang of them at all! But I do see your point 😂😂 3y

This little Paperwhite is only two years old ... but the battery is gone. It won‘t reset or hard reset or charge. 😰 I‘m pretty good with tech, so if anyone has a suggestion, I welcome it. Otherwise I‘ll buy a new one with the Black Friday specials. (At least my timing is good ...) #kindle #kindlepaperwhite

KristiAhlers Mine both died after only 2 years. So bummed about that. And a little ticked as they are expensive and I‘m not a fan of having to constantly replace them. I‘m now using my tablet with the Nook and Kindle apps. Good luck. 3y
Hestapleton Oh no don‘t jink me! My paper white just turned two. 😬 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Katbooklover Yeah, my older ones always lasted longer also. I use the other devices too, but I‘d miss the actual Kindle. Helps me focus! 3y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Hestapleton I‘ll cross my fingers that it doesn‘t happen to you! 3y
KristiAhlers @BarbaraTheBibliophage I agree. I will probably break down and order my kindle fire. I‘ve been seriously binge reading during this pandemic so it‘s all about the books for me. 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Katbooklover They are going on sale for Black Friday starting the 20th. Good luck! 3y
KristiAhlers @BarbaraTheBibliophage oh wow thanks for the heads up. I‘m going to order it then. I‘m all about carrying my books in my purse. I travel a lot so this is how I keep myself in books without having to tote a couple hundred pounds around with me. 3y
ImperfectCJ If you're looking to replace it with another e-reader, check out the Kobo, especially if you get a lot of library books. After years of Kindle ownership, my family is finding Kobo to be a better fit for the way we read e-books. 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @ImperfectCJ Might give that a look ... thanks! 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Katbooklover Makes total sense! 3y
Cathythoughts Oh no ! I‘m on my third kindle .... it‘s annoying. But as you say , you‘re timing is good 👍🏻 3y
Clare-Dragonfly Oh no, don‘t scare me—my Paperwhite is just about two years old 😬 If you send yours back in to Amazon they might give you a discount on the next one. They just sent me an ad about that. But I‘m thinking that like @ImperfectCJ my next ereader will be a Kobo. 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Clare-Dragonfly I‘m definitely planning to trade my paperweight Paperwhite back in. I will get a $5 credit and 20% off the new one. Wishing for better Black Friday prices, though ... 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cathythoughts I‘ve lost count of how many Kindles I‘ve owned ... 🤣 3y

Updated my kindle app, and now there‘s lots of data and reading goal options to choose from! I‘ve been reading more on my iPad since getting my first one after Black Friday, but I also have a kindle white that I need to get back in the habit of using. I definitely think I can meet that goal between books bought for my kindle and ebooks checked out from Libby.

#kindle #generousgift #bestsonever

My son presented me with a kindle last week. He knows the worst part of the nerve bruise( result if Red Cross inserting a needle into my nerve when giving blood last February) & its long recovery is how painful holding a hardcover or big paperback can be as I read. This is so light comparatively & I can hold it with my left hand if necessary. I am one lucky Mom. ❤️❤️📚📚

Dragon A very thoughtful son 💕 5y

BookBabe I saw you were asking around about e-readers, so I came here to see if you got one! Congrats! I love them. I have an iPhone and iPad, and I do read on them sometimes when it‘s more convenient for whatever reason (like it‘s the device in my hand at the moment), but e-ink e-readers are a far superior reading experience.

Listen here Amazon. My Kindle has not moved from this case once in the 2yrs I have had it. Its virtually brand new. Giving me $25.00 off a new one is not a deal as far as I'm concerned (though I do really really want it). Come at me with a better offer and then we will talk.

A recent spike in screen time (most of it is involuntary, work-related 😕) has been straining my eyes and stressing my brain, so I decided to trade in my 1st Gen Kindle Paperwhite for the newest one. And wow, I‘m rediscovering a lost love! I got in the habit of reading all my ebooks on my phone for a long time, but the e-ink experience is so much closer to reading a real book. Plus no annoying notifications! My eyes are much happier already. 😊

julesG Is it really such a big difference between the early Kindle Paperwhite and the most recent one? Mine's still working, and I cannot afford a new one right now, but am wondering how much better the resolution might be. 5y
WhatThePuck I have the first generation Kindle Fire and I was just thinking about switching to a Paperwhite. I don't need it for the apps any more. I didn't have a smart phone when I first bought the Fire. Lol. I just need it for reading now. 5y
WhatThePuck @julesG I just looked on Amazon to price a new Paperwhite and I see they have an option for monthly payments of $26. I'm almost tempted. Lol. 5y
See All 9 Comments
julesG @WhatThePuck Probably not available here. That incremental payment. 5y
alysonimagines @julesG I compared the two side by side after I got the new one. I did see a difference in resolution, but I don‘t think it‘s huge. Honestly I wanted the new one for other reasons, like more font selections, a flush front screen, and new navigation options. But if your current Paperwhite still works, I think it holds up quite well against the new version. That‘s the beauty of these simple e-readers: all they have to do is be a good page turner. (edited) 5y
alysonimagines @WhatThePuck I also have a Kindle Fire, which I bought mainly for watching videos and movies. I never use it for reading unless it‘s a book with lots of images or color. If you just want a device for dedicated reading, the Paperwhite is great. It‘s more like reading a real book than reading on a phone or tablet, and it doesn‘t have any of the distractions that other devices carry. 5y
julesG Thanks! 5y
WhatThePuck @alysonwrites I think mine just needs a factory reset. It's having some technical difficulties. 5y

But I think the extra screen time is straining my eyes, so I caved and ordered a new Paperwhite. The e-ink screen is just so much more vision-friendly, and there are two readathons in January! I need to be on my game.

VinceReads I love the paper white! I just got a new one a few months ago after years of use on my previous one. 5y

So ... my candidate lost. And some others I was feeling hopeful about didn‘t win either. But there are some strong upsides, among them the depth of voter involvement this election engendered.

And my new Paperwhite arrives tomorrow. Consolation prizes aren‘t so bad ... 😛

Megabooks I ordered a new case for my iPad because I was bummed. 5y
gradcat My sentiments exactly...not the worst Election Day I‘ve ever lived through, though I was (magical thinking) hoping for so much more! 5y
Ashley_Nicoletto Mine says it will arrive tomorrow but they haven‘t even shipped it yet. 🙄🙄🙄 I‘m so skeptical. 5y

Rachbb3 I'm getting the new PaperWhite tomorrow too! ❤ 5y
Cinfhen Sorry about your candidate, Barb 😞but YOU made your voice heard🙌🏻❤️and sometimes that & a consolation prize is enough of a victory 😘 5y
HardcoverHearts Mine is also en route!! 🙌🏻 5y
CaroPi That is a nice way to kill the pain of your elections 5y
UwannaPublishme I know what you mean. I wanted more 💙and better results on the props. But there is still much to celebrate. 🤗 5y
MicheleinPhilly While I‘m certainly not a “glass is half full” kind of girl, 4 of the flipped seats in PA were won by women ending our all male congressional delegation. 🙌🏼 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Oh! So glad you have a nice personal present to yourself coming soon! You definitely deserve it! 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Megabooks Retail therapy is a good thing! 💙 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @gradcat I feel like there are plenty of positives from yesterday. But, like you, I was hoping for more. 💙 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Ashley_Nicoletto Any news?? Hopefully it‘ll be in your hands soon!! 5y
Ashley_Nicoletto @BarbaraTheBibliophage Nope, it still says it will be here today but that it hasn‘t shipped. 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Ashley_Nicoletto That‘s SO weird! Crossing my fingers for ya! 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @MicheleinPhilly Yes, I‘m finding some strong positives in the day, even though I‘m sad about “my” candidate. The women elected in those Philadelphia districts is def one of them. 5y

We loved our first Kindle Paperwhite that we purchased a few months ago....so we put another on our wedding registry for my husband! It just arrived today! We cannot wait to both be able to use them...especially on our honeymoon next spring when we travel in Europe!! 😁

zzz Just gave my Paperwhite to my husband since I use my Oasis more. He is loving it so far! Finally got him to admit it😊 We still love real books too 5y
kstadt929 @JenIsAlwaysReading We love real books too and have so many, but for traveling we thought it would be easier to pack light with a Kindle 😁 I‘ve heard good things about the Oasis! 5y
zzz @kstadt929 truly they are all great. Oasis is waterproof so great for bath/pool reading 😁. And yes, when I travel, I never go without my Kindle 😃👍 5y

3: probably daily, I read all my Netgalley books on it.
4: umm 2734.
5: nope I use my tablet for that.
6: no audible.

Kaye Wow ! Now that‘s what I call a Kindle library ! Great selection ! 6y
kezzlou85 Thanks. Hopefully I'll actually read them all. Lately I've been trying to keep up with all my Netgalley books. 😊 6y
Sace I really love that case! 6y

📌yes. 📌 I have a paperwhite 📌several times a day usually. 📌181. I just deleted a whole bunch this week. 📌all the time. It‘s how most of my books are obtained. I believe in library books. Ebooks are books. 📌I don‘t have audible. 📌 I bought the case which was protective in the color that was cheapest. Lol. When I bought this, I didn‘t realize how much I would use it. #loveit #showyourkindle

Kaye Thanks for the answers. It‘s refreshing to see that someone uses their kindle so often. That‘s my goal is to try using mine more. 6y
Samplergal @Kaye I have an IPad that I use as well. But, the reflection off the screen is terrible. I can‘t use it outdoors at all. So I didn‘t enjoy e books. My hubs gave me a kindle for my retirement and he made sure it was good for outdoors reading. Love it. 6y
Samplergal I‘d replace it if I could get Libby audiobooks on it. That would be the only reason imho. 6y
Kaye I agree the iPad isn‘t good for out in the sun. You can barely see the screen at all. 6y

WHAT?! Over the summer, our Air Force base‘s community center did a reading challenge where the kids read and logged books for raffle tickets for a chance to win a prize. My oldest daughter won the grand prize in her age group and won a freaking Kindle Paperwhite!! So jealous, for real. Now she‘s reading all the free kids Prime books. ❤️❤️

AmyG Good for her! 6y
JoScho Yay for her! That is so exciting! 6y
tammysue Awesome!!! 6y
Kaye Cool prize ! 6y
erzascarletbookgasm That‘s wonderful! 👏 6y
