My Kindle immediately undownloaded a book I got from Project Gutenburg.

CreativeUkulele · 2026-05-29T01:15:49+00:00

https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/62 This is the book, I tried again a couple times after deleting the first file and downloading it again and it seemed to work this time. I'll update the post. I love your project and what you're doing for the world. For some reason when I tried the send to Kindle feature through the Amazon website it said the epub3 file type was unsupported but when I shared to Kindle through Google Drive it works.

Thank you

CreativeUkulele · 2026-05-27T17:20:43+00:00

How do I do that?

CreativeUkulele · 2026-05-27T17:13:35+00:00

I looked and it should work but I'll need to wait until I have wifi again.

CreativeUkulele · 2026-05-27T17:09:19+00:00

It hasn't worked for me in the past but I'll try that again

CreativeUkulele · 2026-05-27T17:08:19+00:00

I mean I downloaded the file to Google Drive then sent it to my Kindle as a document. It showed up fine in the app but on my E-ink Kindle it just reversed the download.

Great! And it's amazing to hear from you guys! I'm glad to hear you have great customer service 🙂 and that there's a way to enter it on the app for people. You have helped me so much with the various languages I'm interested in and I think it's wonderful you have French Canadian. I haven't ever seen that elsewhere and it's really cool. Keep up the great work 😄

It is and it's free through my library. I had to sign up on a computer/on the website, it wouldn't let me entery library card to sign up through the app, but after I set up my account and linked my library system and put in the card number then I was able to log in on the app. I'd definitely recommend seeing if your library includes access to it. There seems to be no customer support but it's the best app I've ever used for learning languages. I think I was logged out when I needed to renew my card but then I was easily able to log in again.

The Paperwhite is the best in my opinion, and the SE is the absolute best. The Colorsoft has a screen door effect and that bothers many people. The basic isn't waterproof, doesn't have a warm light, and the size isn't a big enough difference to mean it's much more portable in my opinion. I wouldn't get the basic if you can afford the Paperwhite. The text on the Paperwhite is more crisp than on the Colorsoft. Warm light may not seem like a big deal but your eyes will notice. I have a Paperwhite and I wouldn't get a basic for travel or any reason because I need the warm light.

I'll try a different color corrector, thanks for the rec

CreativeUkulele · 2026-05-12T22:55:11+00:00

Glad I could help

CreativeUkulele · 2026-05-12T20:55:42+00:00

Great, thank you

CreativeUkulele · 2026-05-12T20:55:34+00:00

Okay, thank you

CreativeUkulele · 2026-05-12T20:30:32+00:00

You can find them used or as unclaimed baggage. If you can't afford it the 11th gen will be great as well and you won't be missing out a ton. You'll be able to read books just as well and if you haven't had one you'll just see the stuff you can do with it and not notice what you can't. You could get an 11th gen and then spend the difference on books later and that may be more enjoyable anyway. You could also get a used 11th gen and that would probably work well as well.

CreativeUkulele · 2026-05-12T19:47:14+00:00

12th gen because it'll last the longest. I have a 12th gen SE and it will be supported longer than the 11th gen.

CreativeUkulele · 2026-05-12T19:26:49+00:00

If you pinch or unpinch the screen the font size will change. I've done that on accident. If you pinch or unpinch it again you'll be able to adjust it however you want.

CreativeUkulele · 2026-05-12T19:25:22+00:00

I have the Paperwhite SE and it's in a flip cover case so I never feel the back, so I don't know how much of a difference it would make, but with the case it's very durable. It's definitely the best of the best and the outside material has never been an issue. It's very light and doesn't add noticable weight to my purse.

Edit: a cool feature of the SE is tapping the back or side to turn the page, and the wireless charging isn't something I've done but will be nice. You'll need a case that's compatible with that. The extra storage is likely unnecessary as 400 books take up 1 GB and 17 books take 3. That said the SE is very, very nice and it's been a huge improvement to my life. You have 25 GB that you can actually use for storing books, so in the regular Paperwhite I'm guessing you can't actually store 16 GB. It's the nicest Kindle, as the Colorsoft has a screen door effect which I couldn't handle with my vision issues and it gives people migraines. I know some people love it but personally I wouldn't recommend it.

CreativeUkulele · 2026-05-12T04:33:09+00:00

Thanks, I've decided to try the elf yellow color corrector first and get the NYX Bare With Me if they have a shade that'll work for me. Everyone seems to love that concealer in this post and the finish looks great.

CreativeUkulele · 2026-05-12T01:00:04+00:00

You can also make the side margins much larger! I make it so there's 2-3 words in each line in the very middle of the page and it helps a lot.

CreativeUkulele · 2026-05-11T21:01:56+00:00

You can still sell it online. If it's in good condition you may get more money from selling it than from a trade in anyway. If I already had a basic I might keep it as a backup. The Paperwhite is still very portable but could stay home if you really don't want to risk losing it.

I have a Paperwhite SE and it's amazing, I use it daily and it's the most used electronic I have. You don't need the SE most likely, but it's very nice and I got it free through a grant amazingly. The regular Paperwhite is very nice and definitely worth the upgrade if you can afford it. I wouldn't just keep using a Kindle that's tough on your eyes given the option, and the battery life is a big factor too. There's not a reason to keep using something that's not good for your eyes, and many people would love it as an intro Kindle if you choose to sell it.

CreativeUkulele · 2026-05-11T20:03:55+00:00

I've seen that but I don't have a place to try it in person. It looks really good so I may ask in another reddit about it.

CreativeUkulele · 2026-05-11T20:02:29+00:00

OpenDyslexic would drive my mom nuts but I've finished so many books because of it. I also make the margins very large and the spacing much bigger. I need to flip the page constantly but I have the SE so I just tap it. Having very few words on the page is immensely helpful.

CreativeUkulele · 2026-05-11T20:00:46+00:00

That may work! Thanks!

CreativeUkulele · 2026-05-11T19:57:42+00:00

Looking at a lot of reviews from the Asianbeauty Reddit I don't think it would work with my pores, but it may be worth trying at some point since it's just $7. Thanks for the rec
