Kobo is currently running a Mother’s Day sale on their most expensive and least expensive ebook readers, with up to $30 off in the US and Canada. The 8-inch Kobo Forma is marked down to $219 from $249. They rarely put the Kobo Forma on sale so now is a good time to get one […]
Kindle Prices Vary Widely by Country
I’ve been paying more attention to Kindle prices lately now that Amazon has started rolling out the new book cover feature on Kindle e-readers, and it’s surprising how much prices vary from one country to the next, especially when it comes to the Kindle Paperwhite. In most countries Amazon doesn’t sell ad-supported Kindles so in […]
Kindle Book Cover Feature Could Take “Weeks” to Appear
Ever since Amazon started rolling out a new feature that gives users the option to display book covers on Kindle lockscreens instead of random images, many people have been waiting for the option to appear on their Kindles without success. At first only people in India and Mexico were getting the new book cover option, […]

The Likebook P10 is now available to purchase on Amazon for $399 with free shipping. Plus there’s currently a coupon that […]
The 10th Gen Kindle Scratches Very Easily
One thing I’ve noticed about the base Kindle—the 10th gen model with a frontlight that was released in 2019—is the plastic casing material is prone to scuffs and scratches. In fact you can permanently scratch the plastic just by lightly running a fingernail across it. I never noticed how easily it scratches before, and considering […]
Could This Be a Picture of a New Kindle for 2021?
Last week when Amazon started rolling out the new Display Cover feature that gives Kindles the option to show book cover images on the lock screen, a new webpage was added to Amazon’s website describing how the new feature works and what models it’s available on. Under the list of compatible Kindle devices it says, […]
