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?
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.

Onyx Advertised Wrong Android Version on New Boox Go 6
Last week when Onyx officially announced the release of the Boox Go 6, they said that it runs Android 12 like the other two Go models, but it turns out Onyx doesn’t know what they’re talking about. After people started receiving the Boox Go 6, some were surprised to find out that it actually runs […]
