It’s time for yet another Kindle software update. Amazon has been releasing software updates at a prolific pace lately (by my count this is the 7th Kindle software update that Amazon has released so far this year), and while some updates seem to do nothing, this latest update officially adds all the new features that […]
New Kindle Predictions for 2025 – New Kindles Coming Soon
Last year Amazon released a whole new line of Kindles with a new basic Kindle, a new Paperwhite, a new Kindle Scribe and the first Kindle with a color E Ink screen, the Kindle Colorsoft. That was the most action the Kindle brand has seen in many years, and it’ll probably be a long time […]
Kobo CEO Says “New Little Hardware Surprise” Coming Soon
I saw this posted on reddit and thought some folks over here might find it interesting to speculate about. Kobo’s CEO is always posting stuff on social media, and the picture above shows a recent post with a tease about some new hardware coming soon.

2025 Has Been a Down Year for New eReaders
So far 2025 has been pretty disappointing when it comes to new dedicated reading devices getting released.

White Kobo Clara Colour Now Available – Is Kobo Clueless?
It’s official. After a few unintentional leaks and some social media teases, Kobo has started accepting orders for a new white Kobo Clara Colour that’s getting released on September 23rd, 2025. At $159, it’s the same price as the black Kobo Clara Colour that was released in April of 2024. It’s still the least expensive […]
Kindle Anniversary – Amazon Giving Kindle Owners a Special Discount
Amazon is sending out emails to some Kindle owners about an anniversary of Kindle ownership, with a 20% off discount code to buy a new Kindle. It’s a targeted discount so it won’t be available for everyone, but I noticed something odd about the offer. I received one of the anniversary emails, and one of […]
Next Gen Boox Palma Appears to Have 5G LTE and Color E Ink
It looks like Onyx is preparing to launch another new Boox Palma soon, possibly a Palma Color, one that might actually function as a phone instead of just looking like one. There’s an article over on The Verge with literally zero details about the possible new device other than what can be gleaned from the […]
