i’ve read a lot of books on my iPad Mini (2nd generation from 2014). i also have a Kindle Paperwhite purchased two years ago which gets much use. With aging eyes i find the 8 inch colour screen of the iPad easier to see key elements within cover art of books in my Kindle Library. Then i can readily select the next book I wish to load onto the Paperwhite. The iPad Mini is also better for creating and editing notes and re-positioning the cursor precisely within them than the Kindle. Often i prefer the capability to continuously scroll down or up vertically through a book than swiping right or left to the desired page..This especially when the Kindle ereader fails to synchronize to the correct line on the next page. I’m fortunate to have both devices, thus enhancing my reading pleasure.

I’ve been using it since the first release of the kindle app, every day, for several hours a day. Never experienced eye strain or discomfort. Pages display perfectly in full colour, pages turn smoothly in milliseconds with no flickering refresh. I honestly don’t know why anyone ever uses a kindle device. I tried my wife’s and it’s absolutely awful.

My relationship with my iPad dates back to my active duty, sea-going days in the Navy. I had too many books that took up my space. I’d often lend these books out to have them returned in an inappropriate condition, even ones I hadn’t read yet. So I decided to invest in a kindle. Back then (2013) the first backlight kindle had launched and they were priced the same as a fully functional tablet of the same size. I opted for a Samsung tab with kindle capability and loved it. Time passed and I became dissatisfied with the android operating system because they were laggy and crashed. I switched to Apple and had every iPad mini since the 3rd generation one. I had access to unlimited books I could purchase and read offline. I also loved that the iPad mini fit amazingly in my cargo pocket of my military uniform. It was only recently in 2022 that I traded my iPad mini 6 for an iPad 9th generation for GoodNotes to use for college. Fast forward to now and I type this comment on my beloved iPad Air 5, as I gifted my iPad 9th gen to my stepdaughter. It’s a very versatile device and I love that I can use it for many things.

Took my iPad mini 6 on holiday. Spent around 5-6 hours reading per day. Got paper like on it. I used my iPhone for listening to audiobooks from audible for probably 1-2 hours a day. But even when I had used my iPad mini for most of the day, it still had 15-20% power left. That included reading and looking at some KZitem channels for news and sport, and even the odd film. Charging it up whilst having lunch I use a solar charger that was about the size of an iPhone but twice as thick increased the remaining charge by 10-15%. Then I popped it on charge at night. I would not have use the kindle longer during the day and apart from a bit of contrast issue during direct sunlight, it was far better and more flexible. Kindle is great if you don’t need the functionality of a computer. Otherwise the iPad mini is probably the best tablet for most users who don’t need a computer replacement.

Its rare I have the time to fully isolate into reading a book for long periods of time; I'm always getting some type of notification whether it be for my business or personal. The ability to pause my reading and switch right there to what I need to look at (or do) is wonderful. And I can do it on the same device! Once, I'm done (which isn't hopefully too long), I can go back to where I left off in the book. Great video. Hopefully you enlightened a few folks on the benefits of using the iPad as an e-reader.

One more tip - in the ipad settings, go to accessibility and turn on color filters and move the slider to make it all red. You can set up the triple click to make it easier to turn on/off. Now when you read at night, turn this filter on and the text will be red instead of white resulting in even less light hitting you in the eyes and its much less bright for those around you.

These are precisely the steps I have been using for reading on my surface go. I believe that this actually tops the Kindle Oasis because. I can and usually do turn it to read in landscape mode and the Kindle app breaks it into a left and right page. The Oasis does not do that. So yeah, 10 inch tablet plus matte screen protector plus blue light filter. Makes it a pretty good experience to me. In addition with the app you can do text-to-speech while you're reading. You can't do that with an actual Kindle. My Surface Go has a great pen that I can use with Onenote or with the Kindle app...but to me even better is the magnetically attachable keyboard, which lets me make notes faster.

@@JesusSavesSinners Well…of course using ANY device to read a book will never be the exact same as picking up an actual book, but there is no doubt e-readers/ipads is really convenient in many ways. For example: it saves space, you have more than just 1 or 2 books to read/carry all on 1 device and it helps me stay focused (again, for ME). I never had a kindle scribe but since I have an iPad, I’D say it is just as good as a regular book if not better. You can adjust the brightness to your liking on both the iPad & in the kindle app so that’s not even an issue. Besides, you can still strain your eyes reading a regular book book small text anyway. I also understand why people would prefer a physical book, but since I have a lot of books already and is tight for space, reading on my iPad is a much better choice/option. Sometimes I use my phone if I don’t want to carry an 11in iPad everywhere I go. So no, it’s not “a lie” or terrible choice to use an iPad to read. At least you can see the covers of the books in color rather than plain black and white.🤷🏼♀️

Yes, dark modes and such help. But at the end of the day, you're still reading on an LCD/OLED panel. And it won't ever be as enjoyable as a Kindle for a serious reader. You can optimize it to make it less bad. But it's still no E-Ink for longer reading. The only benefit of an iPad or Amazon Fire tablet is that since they are colored displays, they tend to be a bit better for reading comics on. This is because the color is used quite a bit for expression in comics. Plus since they use word bubbles, the larger displays allow you to see the text in those small bubbles easier. But for any regular book the Kindle all day. Comics the tablet is probably best in my opinion. That's why I just purchased the new "Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus" tablet. Plus since it's made by Amazon the Kindle app will likely offer the best and most optimized experience on a Fire tablet. I have the "Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition" as well. Plus I ordered the all-new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra with the S-Pen for Kindle on the go too. (For short-term reading on breaks at work and such.) 🙂

The cost of a Kindle is 10 time less than an IPad too. An IPad is very heavy compared to a Kindle. The reading experience is not nearly as good. Also an IPad includes a lot of distractions.

Maybe check out my video before this where I compare every model of kindle as I’ve been using them every day for about 15 years and love them. The point of this video isn’t if your thinking about buying a kindle, then buy an iPad instead. It’s if you already own an iPad can you get a decent reading experience from it and I believe with these tips you definitely can.

@@samuelbuckinghamAnyone who is an avid reader would never consider an iPhone an iPad, any phone or tablet a good device for reading. I have owned several different iPhones and 7 or so different iPads. I currently have and use 2 iPads. I tried using the Kindle app for years on phones and on tablets including the iPad. Trying to read on these gave me terrible headaches. Not to mention with the heavy tablets, including the iPad. It was very tiring to hold them for reading. I would prop them up on a pillow or try anything to be able to read without hurting my hands and getting my arms tired. So 8 years ago I decided I would try using a Kindle because I had already invested a lot of money in my Kindle library. I discovered that people who love using the Kindle e-ink reader were right. I talked to friends of mine who used them, looked at theirs before I bought mine. I right now own and use 6 different versions of the Kindle from the 1st 10 inch Kindle to my Kindle Oasis. I use them exactly like a Book. I enjoy reading several different books at a time. So I go from one Kindle with a book I am currently reading to another Kindle with another book 📚 I am currently reading. I know other people who do this too. They even have a Kindle with Mystery books only on it another with only Classic Books on it and so on. I would never tell someone that an iPad was a good device for reading books on. An iPad is a horrible device for reading books on. Anyone who can afford an iPad can afford to buy a Kindle. Any iPad user who is an avid reader will get headaches from using an iPad to read on, that is a scientific fact. People who read on iPads are not avid readers. For example there are people like yourself who make videos exactly like this one about the iPad. I have talked with them and got them to be honest. In truth these people do not enjoy reading. When they read they read a physical book. Yes they only read one book on an iPad to make their videos. I have talked with numerous different iPad readers as well. I discovered they really could not be called iPad book readers either because at best they would complete 3 books a year. Many people who are in the comment section on these videos are not readers. They are casual readers at best. They read less than 2 hours a week. What they do is read for 15 minutes before they go to bed.

@@samuelbuckingham This video is great. I have a lot of trouble reading on the Kindle device outside. I also like to switch between audible and the Kindle app and you need the ipad for that. The Kindle App does so much more than the Kindle device. Thanks for the tip on the screen cover. I'll give that a try. This is definitely not an old problem.

@@barbaraross3853 I have never had any trouble reading my Kindle e-ink readers outside. Frankly it's pretty Stupid to try and use any type of screen in direct sunlight. It is Not a good thing to spend time outside in direct sunlight. You obviously are Not an Avid reader. Kindles and other e-ink readers are extremely popular among Avid readers because they absolutely cannot be beat. The e-ink technology is so good that the screen looks like an actual book, very easy on the eyes. Kindle e-ink readers are far Superior to an iPad because an iPad is very harsh light to try and read on for very long. iPads are very heavy for holding and trying to read on for a long time. Kindles have a very long battery life. iPads have very short battery life in comparison. A Kindle e-ink reader is something you can easily take anywhere, just put it in your pocket. If you happen to lose it you are not going to be losing the price of an iPad which is 10 times or more expensive. You can leave your Kindle on your desk at work and not fear someone will steal it. I have had 2 iPads stolen from me. People love to steal Apple products.
