Last week I posted a review of the Boox Go 7 BW, and since Onyx also sells a version with a color E Ink screen, I wanted to post a quick comparison between the two. There are two generations of the Boox Go Color 7, but the BW version was only released as the second […]

It’s been a long time since Kobo last had their ereaders on sale in the US, but right now you can get $20 off of the Kobo Libra Colour and $50 off of the Kobo Elipsa 2E. Kobo is also taking 20% off on accessories for the Kobo Libra Colour, which includes their official covers […]
Amazon Changing Page View on Kindles to Look Like Kindle Apps
Last week I posted about the new spacing settings that were added to Kindles after the latest software update, and it looks like there were some other changes hidden in the software update as well. I’ve been seeing a bunch of posts online about a new layout change that appears while reading when you open […]
Kobo Has Added New Sorting Options to eBook Wishlist
I’ve seen a few reports online about Kobo adding some new sorting options to the ebook wishlist on their website (and reading apps). I’ve never used Kobo’s wishlist feature so this is something I would’ve never noticed, but apparently this was a much-needed change. For one, some folks like how the new sorting options make […]
Where to Buy Kobo eReaders in the US
Every few years I write a rant about how Kobo makes it needlessly difficult to buy Kobo ereaders in the US. Things will get better for a while, but time and again Kobo’s retail partnerships fall through, and would-be customers are left with few options. Kobo’s distribution problems actually make some level of sense when […]
Kindle Paperwhite vs Boox Go 7 BW Comparison Review (Video)
The latest Kindle Paperwhite from 2024 and the new Boox Go 7 BW both use the same 7″ E Ink Carta 1300 screen with 300 ppi, so comparing the two is inevitable, but there are a lot of differences between the two brands. Kindles are designed to do one thing really well, but they aren’t […]
What Makes Nook eReaders So Bad and Disliked?
Most people that use ereaders to read ebooks seem to think that Nooks aren’t very good and they would never consider buying one. There was a time when Nooks were seen as a good alternative to Kindles, and there was a brief time when Nooks were actually kind of popular (back in the early days). […]
New Kobo eReaders Listed on FCC, But Don’t Get Your Hopes Up
I’ve been keeping an eye on this Netronix page for new FCC listings for Kobo devices, and a couple of new entries turned up this week. Unfortunately, it looks like both listings aren’t really new models at all. They have the same model numbers as previous Kobos, the Kobo Clara BW and Kobo Clara Colour. […]
