I noticed that Amazon has started showing an estimate of how many units they’ve sold in the past month for some products, and I was looking at the list of Kobo ereaders on Amazon and thought the results were pretty interesting. Kobo doesn’t reveal any kind of sales figures and they obviously don’t say which […]
Another Year, Another New Year Kindle Challenge

Kindle Scribe Now $85 off for Prime Members
We’re four days into 2024 and Amazon already has the Kindle Scribe on sale for the first time of the year after it was on sale all of November and most of December (it’s getting to the point where it’s on sale more often than it’s not). During the sale, the Kindle Scribe can be […]

What New eReaders Would You Like to See in 2024?
While 2023 was kind of a disappointing year for new ereaders, unless you’re a fan of color E Ink, things are bound to get more interesting in 2024, hopefully a lot more interesting. Amazon didn’t release any new Kindles in 2023 so they’ll most likely release something new at some point this year, especially with […]
Why Can’t Other Companies Make Kindles?
One of the main problems with dedicated ereaders, especially when it comes to Kindles, is the fact that they are often designed to lock you into one specific store. Wouldn’t it be great if other companies could build ereaders that support Kindle ebooks instead of just Amazon? Any company can put out a phone or […]
3x Kindle Rewards Points Today and Tomorrow
Amazon has rolled out a triple points offer for their Kindle Rewards program where you can earn 3x the Kindle Points when buying Kindle ebooks on December 28th and 29th. They don’t do they these triple points days very often, maybe twice a year, so if you have any ebooks that you’ve been thinking about […]
Is Amazon Going to Run Kindles into the Ground?
As 2024 approaches, it’s hard not to be disappointed with Amazon’s current lineup of Kindles, especially when you compare them to what other companies now offer. The fact that Amazon now only sells one Kindle model that I would want to use long-term (the Kindle Paperwhite) is pretty sad, and frankly I still prefer the […]
