It finally happened. After sixteen years of using ereaders with E Ink screens I finally broke one today. I’ve had batteries die and the power button stopped working on my Kobo Glo, but this is the first time I’ve actually broken one of my ebook readers to the point where it is no longer usable. […]

Amazon Changing Page View on Kindles to Look Like Kindle Apps
Last week I posted about the new spacing settings that were added to Kindles after the latest software update, and it looks like there were some other changes hidden in the software update as well.

I’ve been following Kindles since 2009 when I first started this website, and for as long as I can remember Kindles have always had the same three line spacing settings, with no option to adjust character spacing, word spacing, or paragraph spacing.

Amazon usually updates all recent models at the same time, but they haven’t been doing that lately. So far this latest 5.18.3 update is limited to 11th […]
Some Good and Not So Good Kindle Deals at Woot
If you’re looking to score a Kindle for cheap, Woot is having another Amazon Devices sales event for their 21st anniversary. In typical Woot fashion, most of the Kindle deals were already sold out after like 5 minutes, but there are still a few deals to be had. They’re practically giving away some of the […]

Amazon has the latest Kindle Scribe on sale as part of their tech deals for Fathers’ Day, and the sale price sets a new low price for the Kindle Scribe 2 at $299. That’s significantly less than what similar 10″ eNotes sell for, and the Scribe has better reading features than most. The first Kindle […]
