WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.360 have you ever wanted a less convenient e-reader that you can write on while 00:00:05.460 --> 00:00:11.040 introducing yakindo squibe it is the 00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:15.240 first Kindle you can write on it comes with a stylus comes with a stylus not 00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:19.800 like the remarkable where you have to buy it separately which was 50 US 00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:24.840 dollars but now is like 80 or something fact check that 70 or 80. so the one 00:00:22.020 --> 00:00:29.279 that we got has 16 gigabytes of storage that is the minimum that compared to 00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:32.399 eight gigabytes on the remarkable 2. to be fairly remarkable too it's pretty old 00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:36.239 at this point and then we bought the premium pen which is 30 more the 00:00:34.440 --> 00:00:40.559 difference of the premium pen is that it has a shortcut on it so you can switch 00:00:37.620 --> 00:00:46.739 between pen highlighter and eraser and I think that's actually a has an eraser on 00:00:43.559 --> 00:00:50.700 the back excellent why can't I just pull 00:00:46.739 --> 00:00:53.039 this out it's so it just looks easy but 00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:57.000 it's not Hollow it's like a little file folder inside there with these little 00:00:54.539 --> 00:01:00.180 sections I'm trying to pull on them can't do it 00:00:58.739 --> 00:01:05.460 I think this was meant to be like this but someone got there first oh 00:01:02.699 --> 00:01:10.200 was there a squirrel in here what is this was my wife here seriously like 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:13.680 trying to pour a bowl of cereal with a box that she opened it's just like goes 00:01:12.180 --> 00:01:16.860 everywhere it's coming out the side just unbelievable no amount of conversations 00:01:15.540 --> 00:01:20.520 about it will change your behavior either you just I just think I have to 00:01:18.780 --> 00:01:24.540 live with this is the tablet itself we're gonna set that aside but I have 00:01:22.259 --> 00:01:29.939 comments looks like a little quick setup guide for Australian customers 00:01:28.080 --> 00:01:34.740 this is going to be a selection of replacement tips for the stylus let's 00:01:32.759 --> 00:01:39.900 see yeah it opens that way oh what's this ring thing just can't not 00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:44.880 make it lower the Rings reference the remarkables um replacement tips had a 00:01:43.259 --> 00:01:49.020 cool thing where there was a little slider in here to help you remove the 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:52.560 tip on the existing tip installed on your stylus I don't know how to get this 00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:56.280 out just pull is there such a thing on here is that what this is for oh I put 00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:01.799 it in pinch ha metal I guess I can't just stab it on 00:01:59.820 --> 00:02:04.700 like I could with a remarkable setup you just put it in like this 00:02:04.860 --> 00:02:13.580 there we go pen tricks yeah I can do them what else is there anything else in 00:02:09.780 --> 00:02:17.400 there no we got a little charger here 00:02:13.580 --> 00:02:21.000 uh another charger it's USB a to c and 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:22.580 there's a c charging port 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:27.660 right speaking of uh there's a button over 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:32.160 here is this that's like the uh yeah that's the lock sort of button kind of 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:35.760 weird to have the charger is it weird to have the charger over there it's kind of 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:39.120 sticking out the bottom if you go in landscape mode but I feel like the 00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:43.080 default would be portrait so maybe it would be 00:02:41.220 --> 00:02:46.620 over there but I can see why they would want everything on the same side but 00:02:45.239 --> 00:02:51.060 that's the engineer's problem that shouldn't be my problem yeah this is clearly the default look at there's the 00:02:49.620 --> 00:02:55.080 logo I don't know it doesn't really matter because you charge these so sell 00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:59.519 them they advertise the battery is lasting weeks it depends if you're just 00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:03.060 reading or writing depends if you have Wi-Fi on or off but I mean I have had 00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:07.080 times where I'm reading with this thing plugged in because like you just don't use it for a month and you want to go 00:03:05.640 --> 00:03:12.120 read on your lunch break or something I think it's more forgivable than on a 00:03:08.819 --> 00:03:14.220 phone or even a a tablet like an iPad or 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:17.760 an Android tablet because you you just plug in so sell them with these also has 00:03:16.260 --> 00:03:20.940 these little feet which is kind of weird they're not really in the way of your 00:03:19.379 --> 00:03:25.560 fingers when you're holding it in any kind of reasonable way even if I put it 00:03:22.980 --> 00:03:30.420 into my palm I just can't feel it makes it non-slip on the table and there's no 00:03:28.440 --> 00:03:34.560 rocking and it's not getting scuff up the back so I guess they're appreciated 00:03:32.340 --> 00:03:38.640 I wonder I feel like some someone fought for those to be on here other people 00:03:37.140 --> 00:03:42.060 were like you're crazy but we'll let you have this one it's very thin I would say 00:03:40.379 --> 00:03:47.220 it's it's like less than a quarter inch thick it's definitely it has a thicker 00:03:44.580 --> 00:03:50.580 kind of spine on this one side seems like that's a kind of cool place to hold 00:03:48.780 --> 00:03:54.840 it but it actually might make it harder to change to turn pages I'll try that in 00:03:52.620 --> 00:04:00.540 a little bit definitely gonna be bigger than your typical Cheapo tablet so you 00:03:58.140 --> 00:04:04.319 know if you've got bad eyesight you can really get in the zone here let's turn 00:04:02.340 --> 00:04:07.620 it on check it out right after this message from our sponsors thanks to 00:04:06.180 --> 00:04:11.819 Vesti for sponsoring today's video Christmas season is upon us which means 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:16.019 it's time to stay warm

if you just missed it for 15 off and free shipping to select 00:04:37.080 --> 00:04:43.919 countries alright let's start with notebooks that's the difference with 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:46.440 these right so by tapping the plus icon 00:04:43.919 --> 00:04:49.860 where's that up here you can also add folders to keep your notebooks organized 00:04:48.180 --> 00:04:53.940 and your notes your notes can be multiple pages okay so templates you got 00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:57.060 blank you got regular lined there's different graphing people oh that's like 00:04:55.199 --> 00:05:01.620 a spreadsheet one interesting I'm gonna go with uh this big fat learn how to 00:04:59.820 --> 00:05:06.120 write take notes on your Kindle to turn the page swipe anywhere or use the 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:10.500 pointer tool to tap the sides of screen okay so that just like uh other 00:05:08.460 --> 00:05:15.000 e-readers the screen is divided into regions and so tapping like this third 00:05:13.500 --> 00:05:18.060 will like Turn the page that way tapping this one turn it that way writing tools 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:23.520 there's three writing tools there's just pen highlighter and eraser but there are 00:05:19.979 --> 00:05:26.520 different sizes or girths if you will of 00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:29.520 the pens undo and redo very standard 00:05:26.520 --> 00:05:32.400 stuff can I just swipe new page see my 00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:37.020 little my little thing went away we're back and if I hit my pen do I get 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:42.300 different there we go five gradations let's go fine because you are 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:46.259 so fine I don't know why I wrote that speed wise it feels pretty good I 00:05:44.220 --> 00:05:50.400 remember when I used the remarkable when you draw a line like that and lift off 00:05:47.699 --> 00:05:53.880 you can see your stroke complete once you've already lifted off the page the 00:05:52.259 --> 00:05:58.440 latency was improved for remarkable too there is still some bit of a lag but I 00:05:57.060 --> 00:06:02.699 think that this screen is probably a bit clearer it's the same Clarity that you 00:06:00.060 --> 00:06:06.780 see on the other entries in the lineup it's about 300 PPI let's see what I can 00:06:05.100 --> 00:06:12.780 do with shading though because on the remarkable the tip understands it when 00:06:09.840 --> 00:06:16.380 it's tilted and will kind of draw a little differently 00:06:14.039 --> 00:06:19.380 no that is like the exact same stroke it doesn't matter I oh do I have an eraser 00:06:18.419 --> 00:06:24.180 on here heck yeah it shows you is that like a 00:06:21.780 --> 00:06:28.020 preview of a racing you can see what's going to be erased and then it like 00:06:25.979 --> 00:06:32.100 actually erases after see how the lines of the page are more visible after I 00:06:29.940 --> 00:06:37.319 lift off it's not a feature of bugs kind of bizarre I want to check out the how 00:06:34.139 --> 00:06:39.180 light you can draw because that was one 00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:43.860 of the things on remarkable you couldn't do a very very light stroke without it 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:48.120 cutting out being like a dotted line yeah you kind of get there's a limit you 00:06:46.860 --> 00:06:51.720 can see that's like becoming a broken line or it's just not even doing 00:06:50.100 --> 00:06:54.720 anything right now I'm just gliding on the glass I don't seem to be able to do 00:06:53.520 --> 00:07:00.300 any kind of like different lightness or like strength of 00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:04.139 of shading but I guess that's I guess that's not what their target is for this 00:07:02.340 --> 00:07:09.300 they just want you to be able to write little construction layouts and 00:07:06.900 --> 00:07:13.500 quick math notes and stuff now where am I supposed to put this pen I think 00:07:11.220 --> 00:07:17.699 there's a magnetic side somewhere there it is that's on there pretty good to a 00:07:16.380 --> 00:07:24.380 decent degree the cool thing about this pen you don't need to charge it at all how does that work whoa there's a dark 00:07:20.940 --> 00:07:24.380 mode what does that look like 00:07:24.419 --> 00:07:31.440 okay that's cool it's kind of just the photo negative I appreciate that there 00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:35.699 are 16 different gradations of of gray levels on this tablet so that actually 00:07:33.660 --> 00:07:38.280 makes it useful for not just reading books but you can read comic books 00:07:36.960 --> 00:07:41.460 because there's going to be some grayscale there obviously it's not 00:07:40.259 --> 00:07:45.300 color um but it definitely makes it more 00:07:43.500 --> 00:07:48.840 feature Rich and usable let's see if this button is worth thirty dollars 00:07:46.919 --> 00:07:52.440 click what am I shortcutting two 00:07:50.699 --> 00:07:55.139 still not highlighting do I have to map it or something one thing that's cool 00:07:53.880 --> 00:07:59.220 with this screen is you can actually change the color temperature of it which 00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:03.300 is something they have on their other Kindle like paper whites and stuff so 00:08:01.440 --> 00:08:07.620 you can go from a cool blue all the way to like orange which is nice if you're 00:08:05.819 --> 00:08:11.460 reading in bed which you should do it's terrific you're not supposed to do that 00:08:09.060 --> 00:08:17.099 though but you can if it's orange right and unlike the cheapest e-readers that I 00:08:14.819 --> 00:08:21.300 always get that rely on me having a light turned on this actually has LEDs 00:08:19.139 --> 00:08:26.160 underneath I believe there's 32 of them under the screen so because it's e-ink 00:08:23.699 --> 00:08:29.819 you can use this completely without the LEDs being on but with those LEDs you 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:38.099 can read in the dark and you can adjust the brightness to their zero and 00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:40.200 attacking like oh up to 24 which would 00:08:38.099 --> 00:08:43.200 probably be too bright for my bedroom the thing that's cool is that you don't 00:08:41.760 --> 00:08:47.519 need like a super amount of brightness to be able to read in a in a sunny 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:51.839 outdoor environment because reflective screens like e-rater screens even 00:08:49.620 --> 00:08:55.860 without LEDs they worked great in the in those environments so the brightness is 00:08:53.880 --> 00:09:00.320 just a bonus like the other Kindles they have like a matte anti-clare kind of 00:08:57.839 --> 00:09:05.880 finish not much to say about that this is quite satisfying what have I 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:11.760 drawn what is that is it a box is it a book is it pointing towards you or away 00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:14.040 from you no one knows and shortcuts the 00:09:11.760 --> 00:09:17.399 default is like zero like the default's nothing or no it says it's highlighter 00:09:15.839 --> 00:09:20.880 but I couldn't get that working oh you can shortcut tool to a sticky note so 00:09:19.560 --> 00:09:23.940 that's for when you're reading books and you want to I don't think I want to test 00:09:22.620 --> 00:09:28.740 this in a second I don't think you can just mark up books and PDFs and stuff 00:09:26.459 --> 00:09:33.300 but you can add sticky notes to them yes oh what the that's the I think that's 00:09:31.140 --> 00:09:37.860 the highlighter it's not that you toggle to it you hold it down 00:09:35.820 --> 00:09:40.800 to switch to it and then release to go back to your other pen that's what's 00:09:39.420 --> 00:09:44.700 going on it's kind of nice though I guess that's kind of fewer actions oh 00:09:42.660 --> 00:09:49.019 wow now it's in left-handed mode and it'll also flip like well I guess 00:09:47.459 --> 00:09:54.720 rotate no it rotated this way before 00:09:51.839 --> 00:09:58.860 okay it'll flip that way but not this way 00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:02.580 fair fair enough I guess let's read some books it has all the Kindle 00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:07.019 functionality for getting documents onto it and you can upgrade the storage from 00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:11.160 16 gigabytes to 64. which is just huge for documents tap on the the page to 00:10:09.660 --> 00:10:17.820 place your note exactly where you want it I rarely drag 00:10:14.339 --> 00:10:20.360 yeah right oh handwritten what's text oh 00:10:17.820 --> 00:10:24.899 I can just go like this it's kind of um asymmetrical because it has a wider 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:28.140 bezel in this this hand so it kind of it's offsetting where you're holding 00:10:26.339 --> 00:10:33.300 that keyword which is a little bit weird what if I flip it this way will it 00:10:29.880 --> 00:10:35.580 rotate now this only rotates 180. so 00:10:33.300 --> 00:10:40.560 frustrating I think I honestly would be just better off going like this 00:10:37.980 --> 00:10:44.579 can you see what I wrote they don't have auto correct they don't have autocorrect 00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:49.800 I guess brutal so that's the sticky notes what if I use my shortcut and then 00:10:46.920 --> 00:10:53.940 tap or I hold it while tapping there it is tap it while hold what about 00:10:52.320 --> 00:11:00.480 highlighting though can't I take my highlighter and highlight on the page 00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:02.760 that sucks is that so stupid I could see 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:07.019 that there would be technical hurdles that you would have to accomplish if you 00:11:04.680 --> 00:11:10.079 wanted to be able to just mark up any document that you brought onto your 00:11:08.220 --> 00:11:16.079 Kindle like they might have to make a completely new file like a kind of a 00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:17.399 daughter file to save alongside of your 00:11:16.079 --> 00:11:22.140 books and stuff like that I could see why you wouldn't be able to mark up that file directly in it like Steve Jobs 00:11:20.160 --> 00:11:26.160 would have figured that out and they didn't figure that out so it feels kind 00:11:23.880 --> 00:11:31.260 of like an incomplete product you would expect that like the purest form of a 00:11:29.700 --> 00:11:36.480 Kindle you can write on would be highlighting stuff like this instead of 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:40.620 swiping uh writing in the margins like the sticky notes is cool too but I want 00:11:38.760 --> 00:11:45.600 to be able to mark this up like a pen on a damn book and I can not only that you 00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:50.040 can't even use sticky notes on manga magazines or newspapers so at that point 00:11:48.060 --> 00:11:54.000 you just have a big Kindle you know what would be nice if you could map the back 00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:58.920 button to the pen because it's kind of annoying to have to swipe down or go 00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:04.560 back that way what other settings do we have in here warmth schedule so you can 00:12:01.019 --> 00:12:06.899 actually change whether the LED is blue 00:12:04.560 --> 00:12:11.459 or orange according to a schedule so I'll turn that on you can set time 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:14.940 yourself or you can have it time to the sunrise and stuff I guess your the 00:12:13.800 --> 00:12:21.180 schedule you're setting is just like what time do you want this brightness to be active oh but then 00:12:19.140 --> 00:12:24.720 you need to allow that location access down that makes that makes sense it 00:12:22.980 --> 00:12:27.899 couldn't just be a drop down menu I just picked Vancouver like time zone or 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:32.459 something no but we'll just take the data instead display size 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:36.480 there's just two options big and less big I thought there would be like a 00:12:34.019 --> 00:12:40.260 sliding scale it's not that much bigger but yeah send me send me a PDF and we'll 00:12:38.700 --> 00:12:45.660 see if I can write on it using the email below that's what you 00:12:41.940 --> 00:12:49.079 want okay uh can I mark this up yes I 00:12:45.660 --> 00:12:50.880 can write on a PDF thank God and can I 00:12:49.079 --> 00:12:56.339 write a sticky note on this I can highlight I can erase I don't know 00:12:54.420 --> 00:13:00.660 what this hand is still I think we figured out what the hand tool is so if 00:12:58.260 --> 00:13:05.579 I'm in here writing I'm just drawing but if I turn my pen into a hand and I swipe 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:09.839 now I've turned the page and if I tab up here now I get that so turn your pen 00:13:08.100 --> 00:13:12.440 into a finger another way to do this is to go like this 00:13:13.680 --> 00:13:22.260 or if you got two of these which is quite a privilege go that way 00:13:19.380 --> 00:13:28.260 doesn't even work okay that's page one I think it's a decent product I think that 00:13:25.139 --> 00:13:30.899 the remarkable two is Superior in some 00:13:28.260 --> 00:13:33.660 ways though it is older it looks just as cool and premium it looks a little 00:13:31.980 --> 00:13:38.700 different than this it has some features that this could stand to gain although 00:13:36.060 --> 00:13:42.839 you are up against Amazon's you know the whole Kindle ecosystem and you know 00:13:40.980 --> 00:13:46.139 buying a book on Amazon and just sending it directly to your Kindle all that 00:13:44.100 --> 00:13:48.300 stuff is really cool but in terms of the drawing 00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:52.200 um I don't think they're that different and remarkable has some drawing features 00:13:50.700 --> 00:13:56.220 that are cool and it's like 20 bucks cheaper at this point if you get the 00:13:53.820 --> 00:13:59.519 basic pen on that one but being a newer device 00:13:57.180 --> 00:14:04.200 um this seems a bit faster although it's not that fast 00:14:01.079 --> 00:14:06.420 and it has more storage which is cool I 00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:10.800 don't think this is too unreal unruly or unreasonable to use as an e-reader the 00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:14.459 remarkable's probably I think it seems a little bigger and is kind of stupider as 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:19.920 an e-reader you could still easily take this along uh in your bag or in your 00:14:17.760 --> 00:14:23.579 suitcase on a trip but you're not gonna put it in like a jacket pocket or easily 00:14:22.139 --> 00:14:27.120 have it on like on the bus or something like that if you have any bag with you 00:14:25.500 --> 00:14:32.040 you're good to go yeah one thing I wanted to try though is what the Turning 00:14:29.459 --> 00:14:36.959 of pages is like when you're holding it in your left hand because it seems like 00:14:34.380 --> 00:14:40.740 it it affords left hand holding since it's thicker on this side that's going 00:14:38.700 --> 00:14:45.180 forward I think that's okay unless you're the type who likes to tap but why 00:14:43.079 --> 00:14:48.899 not swipe it's a world of swipes we live in when you go from the 300 for the 00:14:47.160 --> 00:14:55.139 remarkable two plus at least eighty dollars for the pen you got 380 whereas 00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:56.880 the opening price for this is 340. now 00:14:55.139 --> 00:15:02.100 this is kind of a good fidget toy so who should get this should you get this instead of a cheap Android tablet really 00:15:00.060 --> 00:15:05.820 depends on your focus if if you really want it for the note-taking and the 00:15:03.839 --> 00:15:10.019 reading probably would just go for this you can do those things on an Android 00:15:07.980 --> 00:15:13.019 tablet and you can do a lot more as well but they're not going to be as Sleek 00:15:11.579 --> 00:15:17.279 they're not gonna have the battery life you're not gonna be able to read 00:15:14.940 --> 00:15:20.639 Outdoors as easily so I don't think this is a bad product by any means so thanks 00:15:19.500 --> 00:15:24.839 for watching guys if you like this video maybe check out the remarkable coverage 00:15:22.860 --> 00:15:30.199 we've done we also had Sarah host a
