I was browsing Amazon today and came across this listing for the Kobo Nia, and it’s selling for an absurd $389.68 from Triplenet Pricing, a reseller that’s been around for years and currently has over 70,000 items listed on Amazon, so they’re not just some new scammer listing. You see this kind of thing on […]

Onyx Boox eNotes and eReaders are Increasing in Price
Get ready for higher prices on Onyx’s ereaders and eNotes. If you’ve been considering buying a Boox device you might want to do it now before the prices go up. This morning I noticed prices have already increased on several Boox models at B&H. The Note Air4C is now $20 more expensive than it used […]
New TCL 60 XE Smartphone Features E Ink-Like Reading Mode
Last week TCL unveiled their latest NXTPAPER 4.0 display technology that claims to be easier on the eyes, and TCL is showing off a new Android smartphone called the TCL 60 XE at CES 2025 that uses this new screen technology. What’s interesting about the TCL 60 XE is it has a button on the […]
Kindle + Kobo is the Best Combination – Why Take Sides?

There are a few exceptions, like the matcha green Kindle, but even the different colored Paperwhites have a black front […]
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 […]
New Boox Palma 2 Released with Android 13 and a Few Upgrades
Among the three new devices that Onyx announced for their fall release schedule is a new Boox Palma 2, a phone-shaped ereader that looks like a phone but lacks a SIM card slot and GPS so it can’t actually be used as a phone. The Boox Palma 2 is nearly identical to the first gen […]
Onyx Releasing Fewer New Boox Devices Lately
Have you noticed how Onyx hasn’t been releasing as many new models as they did in previous years? Onyx used to release upwards of a dozen new ereaders and eNotes per year, to the point where it turned into a running joke, but things have really slowed down over the past year or so. So […]
