I wonder if Amazon has decided to phase out the 8GB version of the Kindle Paperwhite, or maybe they’re just having stock issues, but it’s been out of stock for a while now. You can still order the 8GB Kindle Paperwhite from Amazon for $139.99, but the webpage says it isn’t expected to ship for […]
Kindle Unlimited Gift Subscriptions Now Cheaper for 12 Months
I just noticed that Amazon has lowered the prices of their Kindle Unlimited gift subscriptions for the 6 and 12-month terms. The 6-month option has only decreased by a couple bucks, but the 12-month subscription has gone down by $23.48. The 24-month term is still priced the same as before at 40% off the standard […]
Narrow Bezels vs Wide Bezels, Which Do You Prefer?
It seems like a growing trend with ebook readers is to make the bezels smaller and smaller with each new generation that comes out, to the point where it can become a hindrance in some cases. Kindles are a good example of how bezels have become narrower over the years. The Kindle Paperwhites 1-3 all […]
New Color Kobo eReaders Leaked (Probably)
Yesterday someone over at Mobileread posted links to a website that sells Kobo ereaders with listings for three new Kobo ereaders, including two models that seem to have color E Ink screens, and it looks like these new devices might in fact be the three Kobo ereaders that are listed on the FCC website. Every […]
Is Customer Support Really That Bad in the eReader Industry?
One thing I often see on forums and reddit posts is people complaining about horrible experiences with customer support from different companies that sell ereaders. It seems like all brands get called out for this somewhat regularly, and it’s not a good look for the ereader industry as a whole, but I think poor customer […]
Amazon Offers the Fewest Kindle Models of All eReader Brands
Now that Amazon has discontinued the Kindle Oasis, this is the first time in the past decade where they haven’t offered a premium Kindle. The Kindle Voyage was the first. Then it was followed up by three generations of the Kindle Oasis, and now I guess the Kindle Scribe is supposed to be the premium […]
Onyx Note Air3 Color Outselling Black and White Version
Last fall Onyx released the Note Air 3 C, and it was their first “Note” model to come with a color E Ink screen, a Kaleido 3 screen to be specific, which debuted on their Tab Ultra C earlier in the year, and then in December Onyx released a Note Air3 with a regular black […]
Be Warned, the Kindle Paperwhite’s Screen Scratches Easily
I recently discovered that my Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition has some light scratches on the screen, which is surprising since I keep it in a case all the time and rarely use it (the Kindle Scribe and Kindle Voyage are the two main Kindles that I use most often). It must’ve gotten scratched while cleaning […]
