The ULTIMATE Kindle Tips & Tricks Video (25 TIPS!) *Updated for 2024*

Wow I've had a kindle for a few years and learned so many new things! Excited to try them out!

Thanks Dylan! Every video from you is always very informative. I’m looking for a Kindle that has “all” the bells and whistles. Many thanks!

For those who read fanfiction, the browser is great for that. Best to use article mode to be able to change font size, though. Also possible to download fics off AO3 directly and load it up to the kindle.

My biggest turn off when it comes to e-readers is the speed, esoecially with textbooks. I just don't want have the patience to wait until a page loads, especially if you have to zoom in and out on some details. Which e book is the fastest in terms of performance as of today? Thanks!

I have a kids’ kindle and would love to use it for reading the New Yorker magazine and New York Times. Is that possible? Using the kindle for reading is so much nicer than using my iPhone or iPad!

Great video. I’m a new kindle user and you have neatly outlined all (or, at least many) of the different features. Thanks!

Kindle does not have a enable on it be aware kindle users

Please be advise kindle users

That does not work to show my book when I open the kindle I only get the add ons maybe because I don't have the newer kindle

I was able to have the ads removed! Thanks for your help.

I use libby as i cant afford other services. If i can find a kindle from a thrift shop is it possible to just use it for libby? Or would you suggest an android style tablet?

Great tips and tricks! The ;ReadingTimeReset one didn’t work for me, does anyone know what I could be doing wrong? I’m pretty sure I’m doing it exactly the way he does it in the video 🤔

as I have a tendency to drop devices (particularly my phone >_< ) I bought a cover that automagically wakes my Kindle up when the cover is opened (though it's not working ATM even though it should still be charged, argh)

also, I made notes as some of these I didn't know (or was unsure where to find the options)

If Amazon declines removing the ads for free you can tell them that some of the titles were disturbing and you have kids that see your kindle

I just tried to get Amazon chat to turn off my ads but they would only do it for a fee 😞 I'll try again next week. Thanks!

Is it possible to listen to the audio book while following along on the ebook? I can’t seem to make this option work. I have the newest version of the kindle paperwhite if that affects anything.

I’ve noticed my paper white seems to be draining quickly these days and I’m not sure why. I wonder if it’s trying to stay connected to my WiFi.

i used to use wordwise, but it often defined very obvious words for me so i turned it off. the hold to define dictionary feature is good enough.

Dylan , I have a problem I borrow Libbybooks and read them on my kindle, however when they are returned I am left with the cover ! I have tried everything to remove these , do you have any idea how I can do this

O meu Kindle é o 10. Não senti necessidade de trocar ainda, porque não vejo nos outros modelos funções que justifiquem uma troca. O meu está, por enquanto, permitindo-me ter uma boa leitura na praia, antes de dormir, etc. Vou ver seus vídeos para aprender mais. Muito obrigada 🌷🇧🇷

One thing I’m having trouble with at the Kindle site, is understanding the difference between archiving and deleting. When I had a Nook, I liked their system of having a bookshelf, and it seems like you could put a book away and not have to see it all the time, but it wasn’t deleted. I find the fact that my Kindle is clogged with so many books. I’ve already read super, super annoying. If you have any helpful hints Dylan, I’d really appreciate it. It’s driving me nuts.

The pinch to zoom is clutch for nighttime reading. Wish they had a way to auto schedule styles for reading like they have for warm light. Appreciate your content. I've been reading so much since upgrading to a signature paperwhite and a fire HD 10 food manga.

Chatting with an Amazon rep to remove my ads worked! I did it within the Amazon app without a problem. Thanks so much for these tips!

By like open a chat with an Amazon representative do you mean like call Amazon?

I'm glad you brought up ads. I was thinking about purchasing a Kindle but I saw something about a lockscreen ad. Was kind of confuse as to what it meant by that, like is it a literal ad on the lockscreen. So are you telling me that something I paid for will be showing me ads on my lockscreen?!

Wow about the Alexa app! This will be great for my intellectually disabled son.. he loves reading but struggles a lot, so being able to turn any of his books into audio books is amazing 😊 Ty for the info

I want to update my Kindle to Oasis. Should I buy 8 or 32 GB?

It always seems like my kindle updates that time left feature while I am reading. Is this not actually happening? Lol

Thank you! When having Alexa read a book to you, are you able to speed it up? I listen to most audiobooks at 1.5 speed.

I read a lot of classic literature, and Wordwise has come in handy: I'm not constantly looking up archaic words.

If you forget to add a book to your collection go to the "Uncategorized" collection, scroll and add the book you want to the collection you want

Following the latest Paperwhite software update the "show covers on lock screen" option is in a different place. Now go to Settings->Screen and brightness and it's right at the top.

Thank you! I was able to use a few of your tips today.

The pinching to change font size is nice to know. Sometimes I like to change sizes and it is pretty cumbersome to click so many times just to change the font size (first world problems I know lol)

Thanks for all the helpful tips! Love your channel! ♥

My favorite Kindle "trick" isn't really a trick at all I guess, but an add on device. I love having the remote page turner for my kindle for when I am huddled under a blanket.

It does the "learning reading speed" everytime I open a new book, i thought it automatically accommodates ti thw individual books

Thank you so much. I did not know about Alexa reading. I love audio books but the subscription is ridiculous. So this is great.

You can also adjust the margins. I have my margins really indented so that way I can connect my kindle clicker. Which if you haven’t purchased the clicker, then that’s a game changer.

Do you have a video on how to listen to a kindle book? (Not an audiobook)

The last tip, Alexa, is the best! Thank you.

I am very curious about the alexa app reading to me. I downloaded the app but can’t figure out how to connect it to my kindle.

Hi, I got my kindle for Christmas too, and have found your videos so helpful. Just one question today, is good reads free or do you have t pay for this app/service?

thank you,

Word wise and vocabulary builder are great for me (I'm not a native English speaker). Btw. word wise is quite old. I used it 5 years ago.

#25 worked for me a few weeks ago no questions asked. I was just sure to give the employee a good rating to help them out a little bit too.

Great video! Have any favorite custom fonts?

Love these videos, thank you. 🙏

Dylan Thank you for posting.
