Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of people posting about using an 8BitDo Micro as a remote page turner with Kobo devices, and apparently it’s super easy to setup using the 8BitDo Ultimate Software app and it doesn’t require altering the Kobo software at all. I guess I didn’t know that Kobo’s devices supported Bluetooth […]
Gallery 3 Screens Look Surprisingly Bad Compared to Carta Screens
Over on reddit, someone posted side-by-side pictures of the new Remarkable Paper Pro (left) next to the Boox Go 10.3 with a Carta 1200 screen (middle) and the SuperNote A5X2 with Carta 1300 (right), and it’s hard to believe how much worse the Remarkable’s color screen looks compared to regular black and white E Ink […]

Will Kobo Bring Back a Black and White Libra Model in 2025?
When the Kobo Libra Colour was released earlier this year, a lot of people were disappointed by the fact that Kobo didn’t release a Libra with a regular black and white E Ink screen too for those that don’t care about color E Ink. Then when Kobo discontinued the Libra 2 soon after the Libra […]
Kindle Colorsoft Sales Figures are Surprising

If You Want an Onyx eReader or eNote, Get One with BSR
So I finally bought a Boox Palma 2 after a year of being too cheap to buy the Palma 1, and so far I’m really impressed with the Palma 2 and it’s quite possibly my favorite Boox device ever. I’m surprised by how much smoother it runs than the other two Boox devices that I […]
