Kindle Update Fix, Software Version 5.14.3.0.1 Released
Amazon has re-released the 5.14.3 software update for all Kindles dating back to the Kindle Paperwhite 3 that was released in 2015. The new software version is now 5.14.3.0.1. Hopefully it fixes the problems introduced with the last update that Amazon pulled a week after it was initially released. The changelog is exactly the same […]
Kindle Personal Documents Show Covers on Lockscreen but Not in Library?
One thing I can’t figure out about Kindles is why they show covers for personal documents on the lockscreen when the Kindle is sleeping (ad-free Kindles only), but in the library and on the homepage they just show generic personal document covers with hard-to-read titles. It makes no sense. What is the logic behind this? […]
Which eReader has the Best Battery Life?
Some people care more than others about overall battery life on dedicated ereaders, and people often ask which ereader has the best battery life. If you’re one of those people that puts a premium on how long the battery can last between charges, the 6.8-inch Kindle Paperwhite seems to have the best battery life of […]
10.3″ Onyx Note Air on Sale for $419
The 1st generation Boox Note Air is currently on sale for $419.99 at Amazon with free shipping, but the estimated delivery date is several weeks out for some reason, even though it’s being shipped by Amazon. The Note Air originally sold for $479.99 so it’s a pretty decent discount, and it’s $90 less than Onyx […]
Get 10% off eBooks at Barnes and Noble
Barnes and Noble is currently running a deal where you can get 10% off ebooks purchased from Barnes and Noble’s website when using coupon code EBOOKSAVINGS during checkout. This is a rather unusual promotion. I can’t remember Barnes and Noble ever offering a similar deal before, not when it comes to purchasing ebooks—they’re usually excluded […]
10.3″ Kobo Elipsa eReader and eNote Still On Sale for $349
Kobo put the Kobo Elipsa on sale nearly 3 weeks ago as part of their Mother’s Day deals, and they must’ve sold more than expected at the lower price because they’ve extended the sale on the Elipsa. The Kobo Elipsa is still available for $349.99 with free shipping from Amazon and Walmart in addition to […]
Wikipedia Lookup No Longer Working on Kindles?
Several people have been leaving comments lately saying that the Wikipedia lookup feature is no longer working on Kindles, and some are attributing it to the latest 5.14.3 software update that was pulled last week, but I don’t think that’s the cause. Wikipedia lookup no longer works on my Kindle Paperwhite either, and it’s running […]
