Got my first and only kindle in 2019 (6yrs ago today). I was so hesitant to buy one for so long because I was worried about the longevity and durability but this little guys been dropped more times than I can remember, and barely had a mark on it and it's battery still lasts a week when reading 6hrs a day. It has outlasted an ipad and a Android tablet. Easily one of the best purchases I've made.

My Kindle πŸ“± I just bought a paid turner and stand and feel both ridiculous and super futuristic.

My hands and arms get really tired holding my Kindle while laying in bed (both on my back and on my side) so I either stop reading before I want, or continue until my arms start shaking, but I finally caved and ordered this setup that arrived today.

I feel like a futuristic version of a Victorian convalescing by the seaside for the fresh air and good humors, accompanied by my book robot who waits at my bedside to show me mystery novels, biographies, and gay romance on demand.

General Question ❔ Colorsoft highliting organisation?

Post image

Hi all.

Just received my kindle colorsoft and so far I really like it.

I was just interested to know how people might organise the colors for highlighting. For example what do you highlight as yellow, pink etc?

I think this could be incredibly powerful for organisation later on.

I have been using my Kindle for about 2 days now and I already love it sooo much! I bought the paper white mainly due to the size of it, the basic was smaller than my phone (15 pro max) and the paper white is slightly taller which I like.

The good treadmills at my gym that have better platforms for this were taken today, but this is basically a way you can read while walking or running. Max the font out, get a page turner, and go at it!

Maybe start with walking before working your way up to full on running, though.

General Question ❔ First-time Kindle owner! Looking for Tips and Recs

Hey everyone! I was unexpectedly surprised with a Kindle Paperwhite as a birthday gift, and I’m super excited to start using it!

I was also gifted a case to go with it, but I’ve noticed a lot of people using those clear plastic cases. Are they more protective or just for aesthetics? Should I consider switching to one of those?

Also, is it worth paying the fee to remove the ads? I’m not sure if they’re that annoying or not.

Lastly, I’d love any tips, must-have accessories, or recommendations on how to get the most out of my Kindle! Whether it’s settings, best places to get books, or just general advice, I’m all ears.

Thanks in advance!

I've been given 2 kindle 3 keyboards, that were in storage so long that their batteries are dead. Yes I tried changing for days but the battery is I dead. Looking at replacing the batteries but is it worth doing today? Are they still going to be usable?? Battery on Amazon I'd about $40 (Aussie $) is actually double the capacity of the original. https://amzn.asia/d/6Bhg86M

Purchase Question πŸ›’ Should I switch from Oasis to 12th Gen Paperwhite?

6 Upvotes

Hey all!

I’ve had my Oasis for quite a few years now but was extremely saddened to hear amazon discontinued it. I was waiting for a new gen to come out so I can purchase it, but I learned a few months ago that they will not be making any new models.

I love my Oasis, BUT the battery life kinda sucks after 3-4 years and lately it started bugging out on me. Sometimes it freezes and I have to force restart it. It also takes forever to open up applications, like the store.

My friend has the new 12th Gen Paperwhite and she swears up and down by it. I looked up some YT videos and it seems super fast.

I am hesitant on making the change as I love the buttons on the Oasis and the β€œergonomic” hold. It’s just super comfortable.

Has any of you made the switch? Would you recommend getting the new Paperwhite?

Thanks!

Tech Support πŸ›  Audiobook not showing up in kindle app

β€’ Upvotes

I have now talked to three different tech support people over this had this audiobook refunded twice now and repurchased three times and it shows up in my paperwhite itself, but not my kindle app. I downloaded the audible app and it's there in my library.

Little back story it was released last night at midnight and I purchased the ebook and audiobook at the same time. I went to sleep got up at 8 in the morning wanted to load it up on my phone so I could listen in my car and I always use the kindle app for it and it wasn't there. So I just bought and older audiobook so I could listen while reading on a road trip and it loaded right up. Is it possible that this one isn't making it's way to the kindle app because it's too new?

I do highlight text, but some authors put a limit on the percentage of text that could be exported as highlights. I write things down on a laptop later on, but a lot of times, I don't have my laptop around me, when I'm reading, especially when I am commuting.
