It’s time for another round of software updates for Kindle ereaders and the Kindle Scribe. Yesterday Amazon started rolling out an update for all 10th through 12th gen Kindles, plus the Kindle Colorsoft and Kindle Scribe (both versions). The new software version is 5.18.1 for all models. At this point it’s still unclear what the […]

Get $40 off New Kindle Paperwhite with Kids Bundle Deal
Amazon has the latest Kindle Paperwhite on sale, but most people probably won’t notice it because it’s the bundle package marketed for kids that’s currently being discounted, not the standard model, even though there’s no difference between them, and the kids bundle is actually a better deal anyway.

Calibre 8.0 Update Adds Native Support for Kobo eBooks

Is Amazon Trying to Lock Down Kindles, Or is Something Else at Play?
There’s a certain segment of folks that think Amazon is on a crusade to lock down Kindles and remove all features that are related to non-Amazon books, and make it so all purchased Kindle ebooks are forever tied to Amazon until death, at which time they’re supposed to disappear into the unknown with their license […]
