Now that Amazon has raised the prices of Kindles by $40-$50 each, people are waiting for them to go on sale again. Unfortunately there isn’t much going on in the Kindle sales department lately, but Amazon does have a few “like-new” Kindles on sale. The Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is on sale for $243.99. That’s […]
New Boox Picco eReader Getting Lots of Hype, Despite Lack of Details
Last month one of Onyx’s YouTube influencers let the cat out of the bag about Onyx releasing a new mini ereader soon called the Boox Picco. So far we know absolutely nothing about it other than the alleged screen size, but some are already crowning it as the best mini ereader that money can buy, […]
Kindle Colorsoft Too Pricey Compared to Other Color eReaders Now
Of all the Kindles that had their prices increased last week, the Kindle Colorsoft was hit the hardest in terms of how the price compares to similar models on the market. The cheapest color Kindle is now $289.99. That’s a lot higher than color ereaders from other brands, especially since Amazon has yet to release […]
New PocketBook Q is a Portable eReader Shaped Like a Phone
It looks like Pocketbook is going to be entering the pocketable ereader market soon (with a name like “Pocketbook” maybe they should’ve thought of doing that sooner), but maybe not in the way we were expecting with the popularity of Xteink’s ereaders taking off. This is more of a competitor to devices like the Boox […]
New Software Update for Kobo eReaders That Seemingly Does Nothing
Kobo has released a new software update and it’s a bit of a mystery. The release notes list some changes, but at the top it says updating the software isn’t required to get the changes, so apparently the update doesn’t really do anything. So then what is the purpose of the update? The new software […]
Amazon Should Ditch Ad-Supported Kindles After Price Increase
If Amazon expects people to pay $149.99 for a basic Kindle now, they should at least get rid of the ridiculous requirement to pay them an additional $20 on top of that to get rid of the advertisements that appear on the sleep screen when the device is turned off. It’s crazy to expect people […]
Amazon Just Raised the Prices of Kindles by $40-$50 Each
I’ve got some bad news to share. The price of Kindles suddenly skyrocketed overnight, and they are now $40-$50 more expensive than the were just yesterday. The 16GB Kindle Paperwhite is now priced at $199 for the ad-supported version, up from $159. The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is now selling for $249. That’s a $50 […]
Jailbroken Kindles: How to Remove Ads and Install Simple UI for KOReader
Last week I posted a video showing how to jailbreak Kindles and install KOReader using the new Vera jailbreak, and so far I’m liking it a lot, but the Kindle’s annoying screensaver ads made me not want to use the device, and KOReader’s default homescreen and library view is pretty inelegant. The first thing I […]
