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 […]
Be Careful, eReader Screens are Easily Broken
I’ve been seeing a lot people posting pictures online lately of Kindles, Kobos, and other reading devices, including eNotes from Onyx, with cracked screens.

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 […]
Would You Buy a Phone-Sized eReader for Reading On the Go?
About a week ago Onyx released a new hybrid device called the Boox Palma, but it was an “Early Adopter Edition” that was only available for a few hours before it sold out so I didn’t post an article about it. Onyx is apparently trying to determine if there’s a market for smaller phone-sized reading […]
