There’s now another way to purchase the new Kobo Elipsa ereader and notebook that was released toward the end of June. In the US, the Kobo Elipsa was only sold from Kobo’s website initially. Then they started selling it on Walmart’s website last month (but not in stores), and now another seller has listed the […]
New Kindle Software Update 5.13.7 Brings User Interface Changes
Amazon has released a new firmware update for Kindle e-readers that brings some fairly big changes to the user interface. The homescreen has a new look and they changed the quick settings menu at the top of the screen, along with the reading settings menu when reading a book. One negative that some users are […]
Kindles on Sale Again for up to $60 Off – Why So Many Sales?
Something weird is going on. Kindle ereaders are on sale again for the third time in less than a month. I’m starting to think new Kindles might be getting released soon and they’re trying to clear out stock of the old models. I normally wouldn’t jump to that conclusion but three separate sales in less […]
Price Drop on Onyx Boox Nova3 Color
Onyx recently dropped the price of their new Nova3 Color with a 7.8-inch color E Ink screen from $419 to $399. I really doubt $20 off is enough to convince anyone to pull the trigger on it when it so expensive to begin with (that’s only 5% off), but Onyx rarely lowers prices on current […]

New Software Update for Kobo eReaders, Version 4.28
It’s time for another round of software updates for Kobo’s lineup of ebook readers. It’s been 6 months since Kobo released a software update for anything but the Kobo Elipsa, and that’s a lot longer than usual for Kobo. This new firmware update is version 4.28.18220 and it’s available for pretty much every Kobo model […]
Kindle eReaders on Sale Again But Not From Amazon
Last month Best Buy had Kindle ereaders on sale with Prime Day prices and now they’ve got them on sale again, except the prices are $5 higher this time and the Kindle Oasis isn’t included in the deals. You can grab a Kindle Paperwhite 4 for a reasonable $84.99 ($45 off), or you can get […]
The Four Oldest eBook Readers on the Current Market
Dedicated ebook readers with E Ink screens evolve at a much slower pace than other electronics, but considering they are simple devices designed for reading that’s not particularly surprising. However, in recent years changes are coming even less frequently than before, with fewer new models getting released and fewer upgrades. It’s not unusual for some […]
