I saw a post on MobileRead last week about a survey from Bookshop.org regarding the release of a hypothetical ereader. The screenshot (posted above) makes it seem like a real device, but it’s entirely “hypothetical” at this point. But it shows that Bookshop.org is seriously toying with the idea of releasing their own dedicated reading […]

New Boox Go 10.3 Gen 2 Released with Frontlight and Android 15
Onyx has released two new versions of the Boox Go 10.3, one with a frontlight (the Lumi version) and one without a frontlight. Both have been updated to Android 15 from Android 12, but otherwise most of the features remain the same as the first gen model, aside from one key downgrade. The new Go […]
New Durobo Krono has 6.13″ E Ink Screen, Runs Android 15
A new phone-sized E Ink device called the Durobo Krono has hit the market, and it’s kind of like a watered-down version of the Boox Palma 2. It’s selling for $279 from the Durobo Amazon store, the same price as the Palma 2, and it’s available in white and black. It’s like they took the […]
List of the Main Flaws for Each of the Top eReader Brands
A lot people like complaining about Kindles (and Amazon in general), and there are always people saying you shouldn’t buy Kindles because of some reason or another, but the fact is there aren’t very many good alternatives, and they all have shortcomings too. All ereader brands have notable flaws, not just Kindles. Some people make […]
New BW Boox Palma 3 with Carta 1300 Getting Released Soon?
If you’re looking to get a Boox Palma 2 with a black and white E Ink screen, you might be disappointed to find out that it’s no longer available to purchase. All the listing are out of stock on websites like Amazon and B&H, and even Onyx’s US warehouse is completely sold out. There is […]
New OBOOK6 is an Android eReader With a 6″ Screen for $119
I came across a new ereader listed on Amazon called the OBOOK6, and the price seems reasonable for a 6-inch E Ink device with a 300ppi screen, but the screenshots make it look like the ebook software isn’t very good. The main product image (shown above) shows how bad the formatting is when it comes […]
New Musnap Ocean eReaders Are Kobo Libra Clones That Run Android
Earlier this year a new brand of ereaders and eNotes started turning up on Amazon under the Musnap name. They run Android, and they appear to be heavily inspired by Onyx’s Boox devices. Two new Musnap ereaders called the Ocean and Ocean C recently turned up for sale on Amazon. Both have 7″ E Ink […]
6.13″ AiPaper Reader C Now Available with Color E Ink Screen
Last month I posted about the new AiPaper Reader from Viwoods. It’s a phone-sized ereader with an E Ink Carta 1300 screen that runs Android 16, and early reviews are generally positive. Now Viwoods has released a color version called the AiPaper Reader C, and it has a 6.13″ color E Ink screen. It uses […]
