A couple new Veidoo ereaders/eNotes have turned up for sale on Amazon, and the prices seem pretty reasonable, but it looks like there might be a good reason for that. There’s a Veidoo 10.3″ eNote for $268.99, but it’s temporarily unavailable, so we’ll focus on this Veidoo 8.2″ model for now, which is currently available […]

More Companies Should Copy the Boox Palma’s Pocketable Design
When Onyx first released the Boox Palma in 2023, I thought we’d finally start seeing more pocketable ereaders hitting the market, especially considering the fact the Boox Palma appears to be one of Onyx’s most popular models over the past two years.

The day after I installed the update on my […]
Amazon is Trying to Hide the Original Kindle Colorsoft Now
Last week Amazon released a new 16GB version of the Kindle Colorsoft, along with a kids bundle. They’re exactly the same as the original Kindle Colorsoft that Amazon released last fall, minus the Signature Edition upgrades, and the original is still available to purchase, but now Amazon is making it very difficult to find it […]
New Assistive Reader Feature on Kindles Has Problems
Yesterday Amazon released a software update for Kindles that adds some new accessibility features, including text-to-speech like Kindles used to have a long time ago. I tried testing out the new text-to-speech feature (Amazon calls it Assistive Reader) on my 12th gen Kindle Paperwhite, but I encountered some problems. I was going to upload a […]

Amazon has released another software update for all 11th and 12th gen Kindles, along with the Kindle Colorsoft and Kindle Scribe. It’s a fairly significant update that adds some new accessibility features, including text-to-speech.
