The new 7-inch waterproof Kindle Oasis was released earlier in the week, on Halloween of all days. The high price is a bit scary but other than that it seems like a really nice high-end ereader, and it hasn’t tried to kill me yet so it would appear there is no Halloween curse. I put […]
New Nook Glowlight 3 Getting Released November 8th
Barnes and Noble has a new Nook that’s going to get released next week so all the murmurs of B&N discontinuing the Nook can be put to rest for another year or two. The Nook Glowlight 3 is reminiscent of the original Nook Touch. It has a similar design with the larger bezels and it […]
Onyx Boox N96 vs Sony DPT-RP1 vs Remarkable Comparison (Video)
I recently decided to get a 9.7-inch Onyx Boox N96ML to see how it compares with the 13.3-inch Sony DPT-RP1 and 10.3-inch Remarkable. Each device has its own particular strengths and weaknesses, but they share a number of similar features. All three have large E Ink displays, all support PDF format, and each comes with […]

You can select a […]

It’s an aftermarket waterproof treatment applied by a company called Underwater Audio that sells other waterproof products too, mainly iPods. Their waterproof Kindle Paperwhite sells for $210 at Amazon with free shipping. That’s $90 more than a regular […]
Amazon Selling Kindle TrackR Pixel Bundle for $75
I came across an unusual listing at Amazon yesterday. It seems like it’s part of a future promotion that has yet to be advertised or something because there’s no mention about it anywhere on any of the Kindle pages. But if you happen to know just where to look you can find a new page […]
Amazon Now Advertising Audible Audiobooks Access on $79 Kindle
Today I happened to notice that Amazon is now advertising “built-in” Audible support on the product page for the entry-level $79 Kindle. It’s funny how they chose to use the words built-in when it’s clearly not “built-in” yet because the statement is followed by a disclaimer saying Audible access will be added via a free […]
