The eBook Reader Blog

A company called Ectaco that used to be known for selling Jetbook ebook readers has recently started selling various Onyx Boox ereaders on Amazon. The odd thing about it is they’re selling the versions that are generally sold in Russia. For the most part they’re the same exact devices sold elsewhere but instead of having […]

Yesterday the reMarkable blog posted an update about the progress of the new 10.3-inch reMarkable digital paper tablet. They expect to start shipping the first wave of pre-orders, which consists of a surprising 11,000 units, later this month on August 29th. They first started accepting pre-orders last November when the reMarkable was first announced. At […]

Everyone has different opinions and needs when it comes to ebook readers. For some people portability is more important than screen size, and for other people a larger screen is more important than being able to fit the device in a pocket or purse.

Their smaller size made them super portable, especially the Pyrus Mini. It comfortably fit into a pocket so it was easy to take everywhere. […]

I finally got around to installing KOReader on the Kobo Aura One over the weekend, and it didn’t take long to realize that it’s a major improvement over the stock software when it comes to reading PDFs. Kobo’s PDF software is so slow and lackluster that I honestly can’t think of an ereader that is […]

One of the coolest things about the Kobo Aura One is the fact that it can download ebooks from public libraries directly to the device for free. The Overdrive features are integrated in such a way that it makes the whole process a lot more easy-to-use and streamlined than other devices. With the Aura One […]
