Looking back at 2023, it was one of the worst years in the past decade for new dedicated reading devices. Very few new devices were released this year, and most new models that did come out were just basically re-releases of existing models with a few minor changes. Amazon didn’t release a single new Kindle […]
eBook Readers
List View or Cover View, Which Do You Prefer?
Pretty much all ebook readers have the option to display your library of ebooks in list view or cover view, and I was wondering which view do most people prefer? Some brands do things differently than others, and some offer more layout settings. With Kindles and Kobos you only have the two options. With PocketBooks […]
New 10.3″ Boox Note Air3 Released with Very Few Upgrades
Last night Onyx announced the upcoming release of the Note Air3 with a regular black and white screen to go along with the Note Air3 C with a color E Ink screen that was released a couple of months ago. A lot of people have been waiting for the black and white edition ever since […]
Onyx Boox Palma Mini eReader Now Available From Best Buy
The new phone-sized Boox Palma ereader has turned up for sale on Best Buy’s website. So far they only have the black version listed, but it’s in stock and shipping.

Are E Ink eReaders Still Too Slow?
Dedicated ereaders like Kindles and Kobos have gone through a number of generations over the past ten years, with each new model promising to be better than the last, but have things really improved all that much? One thing you still hear people talking about, especially those that have just gotten their first E Ink […]
New 5.8″ Veidoo eReader with Android for $59
I came across a really unusual ebook reader on Amazon. At first I thought it might be fake, but the seller actually has a 98% positive rating and it’s being shipped by Amazon, but apparently not until the end of December, and that’s not the only odd thing about the device. First off, the Veidoo […]
Why Are Most 6″ eReaders Cheap Basic Devices Now?
It’s interesting how much the ebook reader market has changed over the past 5+ years. There used to be a lot of devices with 6-inch E Ink screens, and that was considered the standard size that was most commonly available. Now there are fewer 6-inch ereaders to choose from, and most that are available today […]
