Review: Honest Kindle Review - Let me guess: you love books, but you're not sure you want to get a kindle because you love the feel of books, right? I'm here to tell you that the kindle is the perfect balance of book and digital format. SHORT REVIEW Yes, you should buy a kindle. Get the paperwhite with no ads. You're welcome. LONG REVIEW I love physical books too, I'm with you. But I know myself, and I know that once I forget to take the book I'm reading with me, that's it. I'll start another book and rarely finish the first. I also know if I try and read on my phone or iPad that I'll get distracted and start wondering about what's happening on the internet (Instagram's not gonna scroll ITSELF). Either way I'm not finishing the book. WHY KINDLE The kindle takes the best of both worlds and mashes them together. The e ink display is honestly incredible. I wish iPhones had an e ink display. It really looks just like a printed page. So you get the experience of reading a physical paper book, but with the perks of being digital. Namely: - Share what book you're reading to Goodreads, Facebook, or twitter (so you can look SMORT) - Built in dictionary (so you can learn the proper spelling of the word SMORT) - Export your highlights as a PDF Plus, it'll also sync with the kindle app on your phone so you can squeeze in the final few pages of the chapter while you're in the bathroom (don't pretend you don't do that. You're either on your phone or you're reading the febreeze ingredients) READING IN BED The backlight looks great. It's a perfect size. And because it's one page at a time, you overcome another annoyance of physical books: you can read laying down in bed without the awkward "I just need to hold the book weird like this for a second while I finish the left page, then I'll be on the right page and can relax" situation. It's great. LIBRARY BOOKS You can check out library books digitally without leaving your house. And yes, you can make highlights and export those as a PDF (to answer your next question, yes, you could technically highlight the whole book, but that would take more time than it's worth). ADS OR NAH? Get the one without ads. Remember the problem with reading on your phone? Distractions. Why would you buy a device that ONLY does one thing exceptionally well (isolated reading) and then ruin the experience with ads about products you should buy? Now you're thinking about "oh right, I gotta get my oil changed" or "what am I gonna make for dinner?" instead of whether Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy are really ever going to get together. WHICH MODEL? And no, you don't need a more expensive kindle. This one works great and the other ones don't give you much more for the money. Get the wifi only model (please, you're REALLY going to use the 3G to download books on the go? Get real). And yes, this is the best e-reader out there. Come on, it's desertcart. ANY book you want is a few taps away. WHAT YOU WANT Kindle Paperwhite (wifi only, cuz really, you're gonna use 3G??) with no ads. You're furiggin welcome.
Review: Pros and Cons for the First Time E-Reader Switch Person - My first e-reader. I'm in love with it. If you're thinking of going e-book, here's pros and cons vs a paperback/hardback book. Pros: --It always weighs the same. No more massive paperbacks that you can barely open (I'm looking at you, Robert Jordan). --The light is almost perfectly even so you can keep reading even as the sun sets and changes the light in the room you're in. (the uneven part is all at the bottom below the last line of text so it doesn't really matter). --It tells you how many minutes to finish the book ... not that this keeps me from "one more chapter before I go to bed" but it ought to. --As I get older, I'll still be able to read my books instead of having to get large print versions because I can make the print any size I want. --No one can tell what you're reading and then mock you for the ridiculous cover image (which you have to admit, a lot of books have very mockable covers--or worse, if it's your parents and you're reading a romance). --You can take as many books as you want on vacation and not have to have a separate luggage for them all (you know, in case you're in the mood for a different book) --It stays "open" to the same page you were reading when you closed it. Or dropped it because you were mugged by your cat(s). No more losing bookmarks down the back of the sofa cushions. (Or having said cats play with the bookmark tassel until they unravel it.) --the above pro also means it's way easier to put down momentarily to pay attention to the other humans or four-foots in the house. You can pick it back up and instantly keep reading, without having to find the bookmark, put it in the book, put the book aside, and then do all that in reverse to get going again. --No eye strain beyond what you'd get from a normal paperback book --You can't be allergic to it; to the book mold because it won't ever have any. (So nice not to be constantly sniffling while I'm reading!) --If you are an avid reader and like to re-read your books, and you end up collecting in the thousands of books, this is way easier to move when you have to change houses/apartments! --You don't have to buy a book until you're ready to read it. E-books (as far as I can tell) don't go out of print. So you don't have to snag that book in the series that only stays in print for 6 months now even though you're in the middle of another massive series and won't get to that book for quite some time. Cons --It's black and white. Completely. No cover pictures in color, no illustrations in color. For that you'll need a tablet and the Kindle app (or the physical book). And tablets come with physical eye strain. --You can't zoom in on a map illustration ... or I haven't figured out how to, yet. This "con" might be a lack of knowledge on my part! --It's got a battery. Which means it could run out in the middle of a book. So you have to keep an eye on it. However, if you do most of your reading at home (or within reach of a plug) it's fairly simple to plug it in and keep reading. Also, the battery lasts for weeks, unlike a tablet battery. --It's harder to browse your books. The Kindle has a horrible sorting style (author or title, that's it, unless you have collections which you do manually to add books to each collection, and you can't "nest" collections). I do wish it would sort by series too. Some series are 10 books or more (over 40 in one case) and it'd be nice to have a view of just series names. I use Calibre to organize my books and just put on the Kindle what I'm currently reading if I'm not heading on vacation in order to get past this one. Neither Pro nor Con --it won't read to you out loud. Well, neither will a physical book. To sum up: I hate change. I collected books for the last 39 years and I never thought I'd ever like an e-reader until I developed allergies and was forced to move to one. Now I love it and wish I'd switched ages ago ... except the older e-readers weren't nearly as good (I read a book on my sister's previous generation Kindle and missed that "frontlight" this one has so very badly!) Love my Kindle! Especially with a cover that has the "other" side to the book so the transition to e-reader wasn't quite such a shock to me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well and will satisfy even the pickiest reader
*by S***N on February 25, 2018*

I love to read but held off buying a Kindle until now because I could not abide the resolution of early generations' screens. The fonts used to look penciled-in, jagged and coarse to my eye. Plus, I travel frequently and would need a backlight for reading on long flights, and the earliest Kindles lacked a backlight option. Times change, and when I finally succumbed to the Kindle's siren call just ahead of a sun-drenched holiday where there'd be zero hope of reading poolside on my iPad or iPhone, I was happy to see that the Paperwhite model now comes with a high-resolution display and a backlight at a reasonable price. Reading Experience The fonts do look pretty nice now. There are about six or eight font choices you can apply, and you can choose their size and weight easily from a menu. I'm still experimenting to find a favorite. I'm a bit of a font snob but have no serious criticisms of the kerning and justification options (I prefer ragged right formatting to fully-justified, and most books allow this). The backlight works well, is fully adjustable, and is nice and even save for a bit of faint scalloping at the far bottom edge. Glare has been no problem at all. Images look pretty terrible, but that's not what this device is for. It's a single-purpose tool for consuming textual books in any environment, and at that it excels. There are lots of reader tools, such as word lookup and things like that. I haven't explored most of those options. User Interface I have a passcode set, and entering the passcode is weirdly slow; you must pause significantly between characters. The touch interface works well, but there are some drawbacks to it. Mostly, it can be annoying to fumble the device and find you've lost your place in the process of grabbing it. That's less of a problem with the dedicated buttons on some other models. I do wish the Goodreads option were removable from the menu as I have no interest in it and have accidentally tapped it a few times. The single ads you see on waking the device don't bother me. They're static and inoffensive and go away with a swipe. I'm unmotivated to spend the $20 to eliminate them, but that option is there if they bug you. Slightly more concerning is that occasionally the text has lacked contrast. But I've found that going into and out of a menu, which forces a screen refresh, can help that. (I have Page Refresh turned off to minimize the blinking effect that otherwise accompanies most page turns, limiting the blinks to chapter transitions. This may be the cause of the occasional contrast loss. Now that I've found what seems to be a work-around, I'll leave Page Refresh off.) Connectivity Both the WiFi and mostly-free 3G connectivity work well. So far I've tested the 3G in five countries with no problem. WiFi has worked well and I've had no problem connecting to hotel WiFi that requires browser input-- the Kindle's "experimental browser" has worked sufficiently well for that. My understanding is that Amazon-purchased book downloads, syncing and updates are free over 3G even if you are roaming internationally. But, if you're roaming internationally, you will be charged a small amount for downloading documents other than Amazon-sold books. By the way, that downloading capability is a really cool feature (you can email .pdfs and non-Amazon ebooks in certain formats to your Kindle via a special Kindle email address Amazon automatically sets up for you) but one that I'd wager 99% of Kindle users don't use or even know about, much less use internationally. Battery & Charging Note that the vaunted Kindle battery life of umpty-ump weeks is based on benchmarking with an estimated usage of only 30 minutes per day, and I believe it includes Airplane Mode being enabled. But after my 12-hour flight that I mostly spent reading with the backlight on and Airplane Mode enabled, the device still has about 65% battery charge. Not bad! I did not purchase a charger. I pack an Anker 10-port USB charger (which works off of any national voltage and frequency and is highly recommended!) to keep all my gizmos charged when I travel, and the Paperwhite has had no objection to that. Bottom line I'm liking my Kindle Paperwhite a lot. There has been no problem reading in the bright poolside sun or on darkened transoceanic flights, and the touch user interface works well enough for me. The unit seem solidly built and is a great bargain for serious readers. UPDATE: I totally neglected to note how delightful it was to order this from Amazon and have it arrive fully configured and personalized for my account. This made the unboxing experience the rival of Apple's! Special kudos to Amazon for that. UPDATE: I did the Kindle a disservice by calling its built-in illumination a "backlight". It's actually a "front light"-- the white LEDs shine along the front faceplate and their light is directed down towards the screen by a nano-machined pattern embossed into the back side of the faceplate. So, the light is reflected off the e-ink screen (just as ambient light is), rather than shining through the display as is the case with smartphones and tablets.
