In this day and age it’s rare to come across an E Ink ebook reader for under $60. In fact it pretty much never happens except when Amazon puts the entry-level Kindle on sale for $59, and even it includes advertisements at that price and it costs an extra $20 to remove them. So it’s […]

Using Onyx Boox Android eReaders as E Ink Monitors (Videos)
Developers have been working on ways to use Onyx’s Android-based ereaders as secondary computer monitors. A couple of videos have been uploaded to YouTube recently that show people using VNC to wirelessly mirror a computer’s display on an Onyx ereader.

Phone Cases with E Ink Screens Fail to Impress

The Nook GlowLight Plus Gets No Respect, Not Even From B&N
There’s no denying the fact the popularity of Nook ereaders has been on the decline for several years now.

Has the Kobo Touch 2.0 Been Discontinued?
Kobo’s entry-level ebook reader, the Kobo Touch 2.0, has been out of stock for at least the past two months now (probably longer) from Kobo’s website.
