My New Reading Device: Kindle Paperwhite

So, all the way back in October, I got a Kindle Paperwhite! And I've been using it frequently ever since! So, what does it look like?

A Kindle with the text Dan Gutman Miss Daisy is Crazy My Weird School 1 Pictures by Jim Paillot and the word kindle at the bottom








So, the Kindle is intended as a reading device.








It can also handle audiobooks, but I don't have any to test. But the Kindle can do a lot more. It can go onto the store to buy and download books and audiobooks. But, there is Goodreads! But the best part is the web browser. But, the display technology makes it unusable for most tasks. And I ended up making my own Kindle unusable because of my own blog post. Don't click the link on a Kindle no matter what. However, there is an easier way to get websites onto a Kindle, of any kind. Send-To-Kindle! Just install Send-To-Kindle for Google Chrome, and you can send any sites to your Kindle, including my favorite blog post, "Google Meet vs Zoom: What Meeting Program is Better?". No images, but it feels like a magazine article now!









So, the Kindle Paperwhite is a bad internet device because of the processor itself. It has a 1 GHz processor with 1 GB of RAM! So let's see if we can run Windows 11 on it. Now, here's the Windows 11 system requirements and the Kindle Paperwhite.

  • 1 gigahertz with 2 cores
  • 4 GB of RAM
  • 64 GB of storage
  • UEFI and Secure Boot capable
  • TPM 2.0
  • DirectX 12 or later with WDDM 2.0 driver
  • 720p display
  • Internet connection of some kind
Now, the Kindle.
  • 1 gigahertz with 1 core (not compatible)
  • 1 GB of RAM (not compatible)
  • 8 or 32 GB (no model compatible)
  • No UEFI and Secure Boot (not compatible)
  • No TPM (not compatible)
  • Unknown graphics (most likely not compatible)
  • 1072p display (🆗)
  • Internet connection using Wi-Fi or LTE (🆗, all models)
So, no Windows 11 for the Kindle Paperwhite.
And even if it met these requirements, there would be no drivers to use! Who is using all their free time making Windows 11 drivers for the Kindle Paperwhite? So, the most you will be doing on the Kindle is rating books on Goodreads and buying books. But, the Kindle Paperwhite has a frontlight you can turn on, so you can read in the sun! But, the Kindle display. If you haven't figured it out already, the Kindle Paperwhite is not a color display. If you want that, get a Fire Tablet! You have to remember that the Kindle is a reading device, not a Fire Tablet Mini. But reading, the Kindle Paperwhite is great! And there is a new Kindle Paperwhite model already! I don't have it, however. And there are 4 more models you can buy!
  • Kindle
  • Kindle Paperwhite Kids
  • Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition
  • Kindle Oasis
But the Kindle Paperwhite is my favorite model. But, there are 2 Kindle options. The one with ads, and the one without ads. I recommend the one without ads. And the Kindle Paperwhite is waterproof, so you can use it in the water! I only used it in the water once. Luckily, the Kindle Paperwhite survived, so it is actually waterproof. But if you want a nice Kindle, and you don't mind not having the newest, the Kindle Paperwhite without ads with 8 GB is really nice to use when not browsing the internet!

How to use a TV as a second monitor

  Yes, I know TVs are plug-and-play, but you are not getting the best experience from it. First, open your Display Settings, and drag your TV to the proper place. And then, select your monitor, and then click on Advanced display settings. Now, click on XX.XXXX Hz (where X is the numbers). Now instead of that, you should choose the highest non-interlaced option. And on your TV, turn on Game Mode. Now, exit this menu, and click on XXX% (X is still the numbers). Now, click on all of them until you find the one you want. And then your mouse should work better, your second monitor should be faster, and your second monitor will look better! My TV is to the right of my laptop, it uses 60Hz, and I use 125%.

TechyTommy Phones: IFTTT + Text Messages!

  A year ago, I did a blog post on a website called IFTTT! If you want to view that, click here ! But let me quickly explain why this is relevant to phones! Lots of carriers have a way to send text messages through email! This is carrier-specific, so you can't just send it to all phone numbers! For example, Cellcom has yournumber@cellcom.quiktxt.com and U.S Cellular has yournumber@email.uscc.net! (These are carrier emails for TechyTommy Email VIP users.) To use all of these, format your phone number like this: 1234567890! These are called "SMS to email gateways"! But what if your carrier is not listed here? Thankfully, there is a website with 92 carriers in the United States! Just go to email2sms.info  if your carrier isn't in this article! But how does IFTTT work here? While, IFTTT can send emails from your Gmail account! Previously, I was talking about connecting Gmail to Google Calendar, Alexa to Blogger, and Google Calendar to Contacts! But now, we can connect any...
