It started last fall when the Kindle Oasis started to periodically show up as “currently unavailable” on Amazon’s website, and then by December it was no longer available to purchase in the US, with some exceptions when a few would show up again occasionally.

Kobo Clara BW Carta 1300 Screen Comparison Video
Last week I posted about how the new Carta 1300 screen on the new Kobo Clara BW isn’t a worthwhile upgrade, at least not from a contrast standpoint, so I put together a video showing how it compares to other E Ink Carta screens. On the product page for the Clara BW, Kobo says it […]

Well, once again, I hate to break the news to you, but there’s no contrast improvement […]
