Onyx’s eReaders and eNotes Now $10-$40 More Expensive
Onyx wasn’t kidding about their prices going up in the US. At the end of last week Onyx raised their prices across the board on all models ordered from their website and from their official Amazon store. A month ago I posted about Onyx’s prices going up at B&H, but that only lasted a few […]

Kindle + Kobo is the Best Combination – Why Take Sides?
You often see people online saying they want to switch from Kindles to a different ereader brand for some reason or another (they want an ereader with page buttons, they don’t like something that Amazon did, they’re fed up with Kindles deleting their sideloaded ebooks, etc), and most people recommend Kobo as an alternative to […]
Why Aren’t White eReaders More Common?
When it comes to dedicated reading devices, black is by far and away the most common color. In fact, probably close to 80% of ereaders are black, and most are only available in that color. There are a few exceptions, like the matcha green Kindle, but even the different colored Paperwhites have a black front […]
