I decided to buy the Boox Palma 2 last month, and since I’ve been primarily using it to read Kindle ebooks with the Kindle Android app, I thought I’d put together a quick comparison between it and the current Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite. The Palma has a 6.13″ E Ink screen (Carta 1200), but because […]

Has Kobo Already Discontinued the Kobo Clara BW?
A lot of people have been asking about the Kobo Clara BW lately since it’s no longer available to purchase from anywhere in the US, and some are starting to wonder if Kobo has decided to phase it out. I assumed it was out of stock because of a simple supply issue, but now it’s […]
You Won’t Believe This Kindle Colorsoft Teardown Video
Below is a video showing someone destroying a Kindle Colorsoft, and it’s one of the most interesting and informative Kindle videos I’ve ever seen. First off, I can’t believe how much abuse the Kindle Colorsoft can take. Amazon’s engineers deserve some credit for the durable design, especially considering the fact that E Ink screens are […]
This Proves the Kindle Colorsoft is Massively Overpriced
When Amazon released the Kindle Colorsoft, I was really surprised they priced it so high at $279. Kobo had just released the Kobo Libra Colour a few months earlier with the same 7″ color E Ink screen, and Kobo priced it at a reasonable $219. Even Onyx’s Go Color 7 is cheaper than the Kindle […]
Time for Another Round of Sales on Kobo eReaders and eNotes
If you’re looking to get a new Kobo ereader or eNote, three of the current models are currently on sale in the US through BlueProton (Kobo’s US partner) on Amazon (oddly they aren’t on sale on Kobo’s website, but maybe they will be later). This time around the Kobo Libra Colour, the Kobo Sage, and […]
Kindle Colorsoft Review Ratings Slowly Going Up
The first few weeks after Amazon released the Kindle Colorsoft, a bunch of negative reviews were posted on Amazon’s website, with a lot of 1-star reviews because of the frontlight issue and a general lack of quality control. The overall rating for the Kindle Colorsoft was way lower than any other Kindle that’s ever been […]
Nook Users Getting Shafted Again on Lenovo M9 Tablets
I saw this post on reddit about certain Lenovo tablets not supporting the Nook Android app, and it’s exactly the kind of problem that you’d expect to hear about when it comes to Nook and Barnes and Noble. B&N sells co-branded Lenovo tablets that come preloaded with a customized Nook app. The same Lenovo M9 […]
AiPaper Mini has 8.2″ E Ink Screen and Runs Android 13
A few months ago Viwoods released a couple of new Android-powered eNotes, one with a 10.65″ E Ink Mobius screen and one with an 8.2″ E Ink Carta screen. The larger model, the 10″ AiPaper, turned up for sale a couple months ago on Amazon, and now the smaller AiPaper Mini is available to purchase […]
