I don’t know what’s going on with Onyx lately, but their current lineup of Boox devices has become really stale and boring. They just keep re-releasing the exact same products over and over and over again with minor changes. They haven’t come up with any new ideas since the original Palma came out in 2023. […]
Pocketbook’s Included Font Types Suck – Here’s One That Looks Better
The Pocketbook Era Lite that I ordered from Amazon arrived yesterday, and I’ve been trying to get things setup how I like, and so far I’m pretty impressed with the device (the screen looks nice and clear), but there’s one thing that’s simply unacceptable for an E Ink device. The included font types are terrible. […]
Is Amazon Going to Release Any New Kindles in 2026?
People are starting to wonder if Amazon has any new Kindles coming out later in the year, but I don’t think the odds are very high since there’s really only one model that could get replaced in 2026. Unless Amazon comes out with a new product entirely—like a mini Kindle (unlikely), or a smaller Kindle […]
Is the Xteink X4 Going to be Discontinued Soon?
The Xteink X4 running CrossPoint has quickly become my new favorite ereader (I’d been waiting for a small, pocketable, basic ebook reader for years and Xteink finally delivered), but I’m concerned that it might get discontinued soon. Xteink is expected to release a new model later this month, the X4 Pro with a touchscreen and […]
Limited Edition Harry Potter Cases for Kindle Paperwhite and Colorsoft
Amazon is now selling limited-edition Harry Potter cases for the 12th generation Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Colorsoft. The Harry Potter covers are available in four different designs and colors, one for each of the four Hogwarts houses—Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw (I forgot the Hufflepuff mascot was a badger—it’s the meanest looking one of the […]
New Page Turner for Kobo eReaders is Half the Price of Kobo’s Remote
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 […]
Kobo’s CEO Hinting at Something New Coming Soon
Kobo is sending out emails to customers with a message from their CEO, and he says that Kobo is working on some new “projects” that they plan to unveil later this year. Some people think it’s a sign of new Kobo devices coming soon, and others think it’s going to be some new AI-related features. […]
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). Even if you buy two of the exact same models, there’s a good chance their frontlights will look different. It […]
