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!

IFTTT: Connect Gmail to Google Calendar, Alexa to Blogger, and even Google Calendar to Contacts!

  Now, you may want to connect your devices to each other. Like your smart home to your email to get an email when it is turned on and off! So, before you build a new app, there is already an app for what you want to do. That app is called IFTTT! So, to get started, go to IFTTT and create an account. And then, create a new applet! Now, select what you want to trigger your applet. You could use an Alexa command, sending an email, or even creating a new Google Contact! Now, you need to choose what happens. You could send a notification to your iPad or Fire Tablet, create a new Google Contact, or even create a Google Calendar event! This is the example I will do. Now, before you can use some services (like Alexa and Contacts), you need to link your account. Just log in and allow IFTTT to access your account!

My New Computer (Acer Spin 3)

  So recently I got a new computer. So what are the differences? While, this laptop is a Windows laptop, which is new for me. This computer is an Acer Spin convertible, specifically an Acer Spin 3. One thing that this laptop has compared to my previous Chromebooks is that it has a Caps Lock key. So what is in this laptop? This has an Intel Iris Plus graphics card paired with an Intel Core i5 10th Gen processor, along with 8 gigabytes of RAM (memory) and 512 gigabytes of storage. WAY more than I need. So should you get it? Yes. Now, when should you get it? Your choice. You can get it now, or get it when it is not an outside vendor. And I forgot to say, it comes with a stylus. So how many stars do I rate it? 5 stars. And there is also a backlit keyboard, but you can turn that on or off with the F8 key. And you will need to turn it on to turn it off. But overall, the Acer Spin 3 is a good laptop. I recommend this laptop to anyone who needs a good Windows laptop. To actu...
