Kindle Touch vs Kindle 4 Comparison Review

[bryoneill11]

kindle 3 all the way... these 2 are a downgrade

[Harrysound]

wtf are they so different in features...how annoying

[TheFreshbum]

what is this, like 1980??? I wanna have a touch one of course and I want to be able to add notes and mark passages.

If anybody knows about a product that can handle my needs, let me know.

[impaxxive]

Kindle Touch has the text to speech, MP3, audiobooks, more GB, longer battery time, easier navigation.....

and it's only $20 more.

Touch > 4

[TidusfromZanarkand]

2:40 books of Skyrim . . . hell yeah!! awesome vid btw, very helpfull and interesting :)

[para4ov1]

I'm thinking of buying one of them but hesitate which to choose Kindle4 or Kindle Touch

I know about softw and physic specifications . I would be using it mostly for reading pdfs

the Kindle Touch would be more preferable choice because you have touch zoom but the thing that bothers me is the dimensions of Kindle 4 Touch it is bigger and thicker than normal Kindle 4. And I need somehing that is easy to carry for example in the back pocket.

Your suggestion would be in great assistance.

[xChibiYunox]

@para4ov1 I suggest Kindle 4 , not touch :)) I tryed them both and Kindle 4 is more like.. uhh.. I think it's more comfortable.. oh god XD

[andru7]

i made sure to get the one with the buttons.

[originalpckelly]

Whoever the fucking dumbass was who decided to make a touch based interface on an e-ink display should be fired. The amount of time it takes between a touch and a response is maddening. Just go with the buttons.

[StamZO]

WHAT>? Kindle touch does not have landscape mode?? really?

[fnalvare]

glass screen?

[XxLushAutumnxX]

Can you find certain words in a book, by typing it into a search, on the kindle touch? I know there is a find function on the kindle 4, but i'm not sure about the kindle touch. I'm not sure if I explained that right, but an example of what I'm asking is like on a computer, if you hit control + f the find bar comes up, does the kindle touch have that type of thing?

[tomnikond600]

I´ve got the Kindle 4 and I luv it! 

[razdwatrzy7]

why would you pay more for a worse device? like for real... slower, heavier, bigger, no landscape mode and turning pages with buttons is actually much better then by touching the screen that with time will get dirty

not being able to read pdf comfortably takes the part of the device that i bought if for in the first place (school stuff that if i wanted to all read on a pc i would have already lost my eyes) so if ur like me take kindle 4 and dont look back

[snowspells]

I wish I could combine the two. Come on amazon, instead of making 10 flawed products, why not provide one decent one with all the features. It's annoying.

[Zak7565]

@snowspells i know right 

[maber072]

@snowspells ppl have different price pool and some ppl maybe want a smaller kindle :)

[MMthefeeling]

soo who is better kindle 4 or kindle touch , that my problem i cant decide ¡¡¡!!!

[MissWatson4eva]

@MMthefeeling I havent interacted with a Kindle 4 completely (as in I don't own one but I have played with other peoples kindles) and I'd say touch but if your uncomfortable with touch and would get really annoyed if you accidently touch your kindle and turn a page or something than go gor kindle 4 because it does happen but as long as you have an idea of where you are it isn too bad =]

[bebop7c2]

I think I like the kindle 3 better, your thoughts ppl of youtube?

[VolodymyrOnyshchenko]

@bebop7c2 i think kindle 4 non touch version is better. Looks better, weights less, more compact, keyboard not distracting.

[daylighterka]

@bebop7c2 I agree, Kindle 3 all the way.

[bostonpatriot10]

I wasted an hour searching for a good comparison between the Kindle and K. Touch before I found this. It's terrific. Thanks so much.

I do wonder if there will ever be more languages added to the Kindle. Does it seem likely? Also, are there updates on the Kindle, so that if more languages are added they can be integrated? Thanks once again.

[luisgentil]

As for the Kindle Touch (the one I own), PDF and browser are only to be used as a last resort. With Kindle's refresh rate you'll only read confortably with page turn, because the scrolling effect is very tiring to the eyes, and you frequently lose track of what line you were reading. Fontunately almost all web pages contain a "send to Kindle" share option, and I use Calibre to convert my PDFs to mobi.

[1banders]

Why does he say "pretty much the exact same" instead of just saying "similar" or "very similar"?

[tedmahsun]

@1banders Because not everyone can have your awesome grasp in vocabulary

[donmei]

This is a question for the reviewer. I'm a geek so I'm thinking of the touch. Its also obviously much more versatile. But one of the things I like about my wife's kindle 3 is that can actually grasp the Kindle by the screen while I'm reading. Just like a real book.

I like not having to hold it along the edges only.

So my question is can I hold a touch that way and not have it interpret my grasp as some kind of command. I can not hold my ipad this way, or it turns the page.

[ron061323]

@donmei that is the reason why i choose K4 than Ktouch...

[MultiReviewer101]

kindle touch is better

[MissWatson4eva]

Bought a kindle touch on eBay because of the whole US only thing after amazon wouldn't ship it's kindles outside of the US - receiving it in about 2 - 4 weeks. Hoping it works fine here in the UK, language I thought was changeable but I'm fine with American English so that wont really be a probably, maybe just a nuisance with spelling differences and stuff. Hope to have it registered to my UK account. :)

[nananaNikk]

In the kindle store, can you buy books in another currency and other countries outside the us?

[Vaultnishi]

Great video, glad someone had a comparison up, was iffy on the touch version on eink, but it seems its the better one.

[Fiona4896]

wow what's with the black screen blinking on screen? is that from the device or from your recorder/camera?

[XTheAsianPersuasionX]

@Fiona4896 They are black and white eBook readers so I believe that is what most similar devices do as well.

[SuperEbay123]

@Fiona4896 Its Refreshing itself, every 10 pgs or so

[SuperEbay123]

how are books paid for?

[AGdollNicole]

@SuperEbay123

through amazon

[SuperEbay123]

@AGdollNicole Through credit Card, i got it :P

[lsubasball]

Very good comparison. I don't have a kindle reader, been using the kindle app on my Droid which is very very good. I plan on buying a reader and looked at numerous options. I narrowed my options down to what i need...read books. Tablets and IPads are good but can't read in the sun, you get the glare. I want a cheap reader to just read books, have an iphone and laptop 4 media. The Kindle Touch look slows on the refresh, and for the cheap i'm going with just the Kindle. Can't wait to get it

[Ushvin18]

Actually, from kindle 3 to kindle 4 was not a huge evolution

[pokeplay7]

@Ushvin18

Yeah, it was actually a step down, in a way. It's not saying that the current generation is bad in any sense, it's just this generation sacrifices preference-only features (like music and speakers) for a much lower price. Now this is a win-win for everyone. If you really want an audio player, you'd go for the Kindle Keyboard. You got what you wanted and Amazon got the extra cash. I'd say this generation is not anchored on price but on cost. I like it.

[camaroone123]

Thanks,

[ptyk]

I have a Kindle 3. I wish I had a Kindle Touch or a Sony (Touch). Again, great review!!!
