A few years ago I posted a tips and tricks guide for Fire HD and HDX tablets, but a lot has changed since then, especially since Amazon upgraded to Fire OS 5, so I’ve gone through and updated the list to apply to the new 7th generation Fire HD 8 and 7-inch Fire tablets for […]
Free Microsoft eBooks, Lots of Tech Books and Reference Guides
One of Microsoft’s employees, Eric Ligman, has posted a list of hundreds of free ebooks and PDFs over on the Microsoft blog that are available to everyone that wants to download them. The free ebook giveaway is a yearly event but this is the first time that I’ve encountered it. There are lots of reference […]
Kindle Paperwhite 3 Deal for $99 with Case and Kindle Unlimited
Yesterday I posted about a sale on the Kindle Paperwhite 2 at Woot (3G models are still available for $65), and now today QVC has a deal on the current Kindle Paperwhite. They’ve got the Paperwhite 3 marked down to $99 with free shipping, and it comes with a Caseable photo case and a voucher […]
Woot Deals: $49 Kindle Paperwhite 2, $25 Fire HD 6 and More
Woot has some previous generation Kindles and Fire tablets on sale again. Like usual they’re labeled as refurbished, not new.

Obviously it comes with its own unique charging cover, but it doesn’t provide very much protection, especially since […]
9.7-inch Onyx Boox N96 Carta Half the Price of 13.3-inch eReaders
Having just reviewed the new 13.3-inch Sony DPT-RP1, it has really made me appreciate larger E Ink screens. They are a joy to read on and are much better for reading PDFs and other larger-form content than a typical 6-inch ereader. However, 13.3-inch E Ink screens are still relatively new and are very expensive. The […]
You Can Now Gift Kindle eBooks from the MYCD Page
I don’t use the Manage Your Content and Devices page at Amazon very often, but I noticed a new note at the top of the screen the other day about gifting ebooks: Loved reading a book? Now share your happiness with your friends and loved ones by gifting it to them from Manage Your Content […]
How to Find List of Returned Kindle Unlimited and Prime eBooks
If you have a Kindle Unlimited membership and read a lot of ebooks, it can be hard to keep track of which books that you’ve already read. The same goes for Prime Reading, the library of free ebooks available to Amazon Prime members. Since you’re technically borrowing the ebooks instead of buying them it can […]
