Big Sale on Various Kindle Models and Kindle Bundles
Amazon has started rolling out a bunch of early deals on various products, including Kindle ereaders and the Kindle Scribe.

New Limited Edition Nook Available to Pre-Order
Barnes and Noble has a new Nook available to pre-order on their website, and it’s expected to get released on November 20th, but the weird thing is it’s not really new.

I came across a new listing for a mini ereader on Amazon called the OBOOK 5, and it has some interesting characteristics. I’m not sure why they’re calling it the Obook 5 when it has a 4.26″ screen, but I guess they’re rounding up. It looks like it has an E Ink screen in the […]
New DRM Added to Kindles with 5.18.5 Update, Breaking DRM Removal
It looks like Amazon is closing off one of the last remaining methods that allows people to remove the DRM from their purchased Kindle ebooks, locking down the Kindle platform even more than it’s ever been before with a new type of DRM for Kindle devices. This comes after Amazon removed the ability to download […]
Don’t Get Rid of Your Black and White Kindles and Kobos
Kobo has a new white version of the Kobo Clara Colour coming out tomorrow, and Amazon is expected to release a new Kindle Scribe with a color E Ink screen soon, and possibly a 6″ color Kindle too, but what about new ereaders with black and white E Ink screens? This year has been a […]
