hey everyone welcome to another goodie
reader review video my name is michael
this is peter we have here the all-new
kindle paperwhite better known as the
kindle paperweight 3. yes this has the
same screen technology as the amazon
kindle voyage at a fraction of the price
this is 120
juarez the new voyage is 199 dollars the
voyage is 12
lighter but this has a lot of things
going for for it including a very high
resolution e-ink screen with a 300 ppi
and 1430 by 1080 so it's it really steps
up the kindles game in terms of
overall performance let's take a look at
the hardware so the kindle hasn't
changed much from the last generation
and you can see the side by side in our
comparison video the back amazon
engraved logo is now no longer piano
underneath all the letters it is just
plastic matte
of course amazon still does not have any
manual page turn buttons so you're
forced to use everything on the screen
it is not a flush screen embezzle it is
about a millimeter deep unlike the
kindle voyage you have a power button
light indicator and a micro usb port for
transferring data the front kindle logo
has become piano finish instead of the
back now whereas the old amazon kindle
paper white 2 was white
so this is the home screen for the
all-new kindle paperwhite as you can see
here that if you've ever used a kindle
before
modern kindle you'll notice that there's
the home back
glow light shopping
search and goodreads option goodreads is
a social book discovery network you can
form virtual book clubs you can switch
things between list view
and cover view
you can create collections
if you have a lot of books there's an
experimental web browser and a future
video will show you exactly how to use
this i love it seven generations of
kindles right three paperwhites later
yeah experimental browser so you have
books that are on the cloud
which are books that you've purchased
maybe on other e-meters tablets
smartphones and whatnot but then aren't
necessarily on the device and you can
toggle back and forth to choose what's
actually on the storage yes so you can
keep your e-reader nice and clean let's
take a look at the reading experience
we have
sycamore row by john grisham
so page turns are to be expected as
expected are very clean refreshes every
six to ten
pages kind of thing uh we have different
options here we have text this is
probably the most go-to you're going to
be going to because it is
everything here this is the size
margins line spacing and fonts back in
the paperwhite 2 cecelia was the default
font now we're sitting on bookerly as
the default font
here's the differences between the two
of these fonts
amazon's made a lot of advancements
aside from the fonts in terms of
cleaning it up
so you'll notice that
there's a lot of new options here in
terms of changing the size of the font
and everything is nice and unreadable
the high definition screen really stands
out so if you are someone that spends a
lot of time on your kindle and has had
many kindles or other e-readers in the
past you're gonna get a tremendous
reading experience from here of course
you can do all the little things that
you can do on previous kindles such as
highlight take notes make annotations uh
look words up in the dictionary
if you want to find out more about the
book that you're reading you can engage
in x-ray x-rays a really cool feature
people places and things
you can look up main characters how
often that they're referenced through
the book
some books get kind of complicated with
introducing a ton of different
characters all seemingly all at once of
the latest william gibson book the
peripherals really guilty of that where
they introduced almost 30 characters
within the first five chapters so this
is a good way that you can find out a
little bit about the character the
biography they're a major or minor
character
if you're juggling many books it's
essential of course you can go to
specific things but you can really get a
sense of where you are in the book by
this one minute left in the chapter
and you've read 74 of the current
chapter so that's really handy
we know it's an e-reader so you're meant
to read books but this handles pdfs
rather well so this is the dungeons
monsters dungeon the dragons monsters
manual we choose this because it has an
even mix of shades
uh
text and pictures so we're just going to
do some pinch and zooms you have to be
very patient with it because pinch and
zooming can take a while you'll notice
you have a mini map with a locator
showing you where you are on the page
once you let go it is a very large pdf
so it takes about three or four seconds
to fully render
you can see the grays are very nice very
crisp the resolution on his claw is very
nice and you actually get long presses
which no other e-reader does without the
use of a stylus what you can do from
here is all of the normal functions you
can do in an e-reader on an e-book
highlight add note even translation on
any pdf so that's tremendously valuable
on the amazon kindle paperwhite yeah
translations are important because you
can convert one word or one phrase to
another language entirely which is very
useful so uh the pdf experience on the
kindle is
satisfactory but it's not great if
you're looking for a dedicated pdf
reader we'd recommend sony digital paper
or to invest in a tablet e-readers are
just not indicative of a great pdf
experience when it comes to extensive
pdfs it's only for basic pdfs newspapers
magazines will not work
a rule of thumb is if it's very image
heavy then it's not you're not going to
get a great pdf experience but it's just
written words it's perfectly
satisfactory
amazon has made a lot of advancements
with the kindle paperwhite 3 the all-new
kindle etc etc
they
have it basically just improved the
screen technology itself most things are
are exactly the same i think that this
is a really good buy if you are a person
that is invested in the amazon ecosystem
whether you've had a previous kindle or
if you use the kindle reading app on
your smartphone on your tablet or on
your computer i think that amazon is
very does very well for itself 75 of the
usc book market it controls 95 of the
ebook market in the uk so people really
love their kindles and this is a winner
