It looks like Amazon is experimenting with some new creative cover designs for their Kindle for Kids bundle. The Kids Kindle doesn’t appear to sell nearly as well as the other Kindles (it only has 43 posted reviews after being available for over 1 year) so they’re probably looking for new ways to make it […]

List of Waterproof eBook Readers Currently Available
Someone sent an email asking about waterproof ereaders and I thought it was a good topic for a blog post so here’s a list of waterproof ebook readers.

Closer Look at 10.3-inch Onyx Boox Note (Videos)
The 10.3-inch Onyx Boox Note went up for pre-order a few weeks ago. It’s expected to get released in early February, just a couple weeks from now. Some new videos of the Onyx Boox Note have started showing up on YouTube, and you can see why they decided to call it the “Note”. The handwriting […]
Be Warned: Most Warranties Don’t Cover Cracked E Ink Screens
One thing that most people don’t know is the fact that the 1 year warranties that come with Kindles, Kobos, Nooks and other ereaders don’t cover cracked screens.

Here lately the Onyx International seller on Amazon has had the Onyx Boox Max Carta marked down to $599 with free shipping. It normally sells for $699 at Amazon and $749 from Banggood so that’s a pretty big discount. The latest version, the Onyx Boox Max 2 sells for $799, but stock is still hit […]
Should the Next New Kindle Have Adjustable Frontlight Color?
One of the surprising things about the new Kindle Oasis 2 is the fact that it doesn’t have a frontlight with adjustable color temperature. Before the Kindle Oasis was released, I would have thought that to be a more likely feature than adding waterproofing or a larger screen, but as it turns out all frontlit […]
