There have been quite a few complaints about battery life on the new Kindle Oasis 2 not being as good as the Kindle Paperwhite and other ereaders. To me it doesn’t seem like a big difference, but then again I almost never have the frontlight set higher than 12 on the brightness meter, which is […]

New Jezetek eBook Readers, Includes First Frontlit 10.3-inch Model (Video)
I came across a video on YouTube showing some new ereaders from a company called Jezetek.
