With Amazon releasing a new 16GB version of the Kindle Colorsoft last week, along with a kids bundle, and with them finally bringing the Colorsoft to several additional international markets, color Kindles are here to stay. If the initial release of the Colorsoft was an experiment to gauge the market for color Kindles, things are […]

Should E Ink Release Higher Resolution Screens for eReaders?
Most ebook readers on the current and not-so-current market have E Ink screens with 300 ppi (pixels per inch). A few of the cheaper models and some larger devices have E Ink screens with lower ppi, but 300 ppi has become the standard for most ereaders going back many years now. When dedicated reading devices […]
New Bigme B7 has 7″ Color Screen and Supports 4G Wireless
Bigme recently released a new 7″ color ereader/eNote/phone called the Bigme B7. Their names are so generic it took me a while to notice it’s actually a new model that’s different from the similar Bigme B751C that was released last year. The new version comes with some interesting (and possibly useless) hardware upgrades, and it […]
New Musnap Neo C Has 6″ Color E Ink Screen, Runs Android
A new ereader with a 6″ color E Ink screen called the Musnap Neo C has turned up for sale on Amazon.

Kobo discountinued the Kobo Libra 2 over a year ago after they released the Kobo Libra Colour. The Libra Colour is almost exactly the same […]
Premium Quality eReaders are Dying Out and Becoming Scarce
It looks like the days of being able to buy premium quality ereaders is slowly coming to an end. With every passing year the overall build quality of ereaders keeps getting cheaper and cheaper. You used to be able to buy ereaders that were made out of better materials that felt nice in your hand […]
New Bigme HiBreak Pro E Ink Phone with Android 14 Now on Amazon
The Bigme HiBreak Pro is a new Android-powered E Ink phone that’s been available to order from Bigme’s website for the past couple months, and now it’s available to order on Amazon as well. Bigme released two E Ink phones last year, one with a regular black and white screen and one with a color […]
eBook Readers Lack Useful Reading History and Reading Stats
Why is it that every ebook reader on the market can show that you’ve completed reading an ebook, but most can’t show you when you finished reading a book? I feel like reading statistics are something that is seriously undervalued and underdeveloped when it comes to ebooks. So far most companies just collect reading data […]
