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.

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 […]
Another Boyue T65s (Likebook Air) Turns up for Pre-Order
About a month ago the 7.8-inch Likebook Plus and 6-inch Likebook Air turned up for sale from Banggood, and now they’ve got a second Likebook Air up for pre-order. It appears to be exactly the same as the other model with the exception that it has 8GB of storage space and 512MB of RAM instead […]
