Over the weekend Amazon rolled out some sales on the Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Colorsoft, along with a bunch of bundle packages that include them, and they have some cases on sale too. So far they don’t have the basic Kindle or the any of the Kindle Scribes on sale, but I wouldn’t be surprised […]

New Project Hail Mary Case for Kindle Paperwhite and Colorsoft
I noticed that Amazon is now advertising a Limited Edition Project Hail Mary case on the product pages for the Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Colorsoft. The design is a lot more eye-catching than most Kindle cases, but at $49.99 it is a bit more expensive than Amazon’s standard Kindle cases, and they don’t have any […]
Most People Unhappy With Kindles Aren’t Using Them as Intended
I recently realized the majority of people that complain about Kindles aren’t using them the way Amazon intended. They want to use them to sideload ebooks or comics obtained elsewhere, or they want to be able to backup their Kindle ebook files on a computer, for fear that Amazon is going to take them away […]
New Smart Shapes Feature Now Available on Kindle Scribe
Amazon has been adding some nifty new features to the Kindle Scribes lately, and not just the new models—the original model from 2022 has been getting some of the new features as well. The last software update added support for writing on sideloaded PDFs, and it turns out the update also added a new “smart […]

Send-to-Kindle Won’t Work on Unsupported Kindles; Amazon Phasing Out Older Formats
Ever since Amazon started sending out emails last week about dropping support for older Kindles, I’ve been seeing some people say you’ll still be able to use Send-to-Kindle or email to send documents and non-Amazon ebooks to those Kindle devices, but unfortunately that is not the case. Moving forward, all Kindles released before 2013 will […]
Previous Gen Kindle Scribe Selling Better Than the New Scribe
It looks like Amazon seriously misjudged how much people are willing to pay for a Kindle Scribe. I was looking at the product page for the older Kindle Scribe that was released in 2024 and was surprised to see it has higher sales numbers than the new Kindle Scribe by a significant margin. The sales […]
Older Kindles Will Still Support Sideloading eBooks
With the news coming out that Amazon is ending support for all Kindles released before 2013, some people are wrongly assuming that older Kindles will become completely useless after May 20th. I made the mistake of going to reddit and seeing the village idiots are firmly in control of the misinformation wheel again, and it’s […]
