There’s a company on Amazon that’s selling a new Bluetooth Remote Page Turner that’s marketed specifically for Kobo eReaders, and it’s selling for half the price of Kobo’s official remote. The list price is currently $15.99, but there’s a coupon that takes the price down to $14.39. Kobo sells their official Kobo Remote for $33.99 […]

Why Don’t Frontlights Use Standard Warm and Cool Light Temperatures?
One of the frustrating aspects of ebook readers is the wide variance of colors when it comes to frontlights (they’re still mistakenly called backlights most of the time, but E Ink screens can’t have backlights).

When Amazon first launched the Kindle Colorsoft in 2024, things did not go well initially, and it looked like it was going to be a flop. It had a frontlight issue that Amazon ended up admitting was a fault, and the reviews were scathing. For a long time after that the Kindle Colorsoft had a […]
