Over the past few years I’ve only posted about Bigme ereaders and eNotes a couple of times on this website so I figured it was time for a discussion on the brand since they’re always advertising their products on Amazon. I thought they would’ve disappeared into oblivion by now like most Chinese companies that think […]

New Meswao eReader with 6″ Color E Ink Screen and Android 11
A new color ereader from China has turned up for sale on Amazon under the Meswao brand, but it’s actually a rebranded Reinkstone R1 Reader. Apparently the device is called the Meswao E-ink Color. Or maybe it’s called the Ultra Color, as the title says at Amazon, but who really knows what they’re calling it. […]
Going Back to Paper Books After Using an eReader?
It would be interesting to know how often people ultimately decide to go back to reading paper books after using an ereader. Obviously I’m a bit biased in this regard, but I haven’t wanted anything to do with paper books in a long, long time. I don’t like all the space they take up, and […]

Onyx Has Already Discontinued the Leaf2 eReader?
It looks like Onyx is back to their old tricks of abandoning products that have only been on the market for a few months. Apparently when they announced the released of the new Boox Page last month, that also meant the end of the Leaf2 because now the product page at B&H says it’s been […]

PocketBook announced a successor to the InkPad Color back in April, and now it’s finally available to purchase from PocketBook’s official Amazon store for those looking to get a color ereader. The PocketBook InkPad Color 2 is selling for $329 with free shipping, the same exact price as the first generation model. PocketBook is also […]
Which eReader has the Best Page-Turn Buttons?
I came across a post on reddit asking Which e-reader has the best page turning buttons? As a big fan of having dedicated page-turn buttons on ereaders, I thought that was a good question. However, after thinking about it for awhile I concluded that I can’t come up with a definitive answer to say one […]
