Last year around April Amazon surprised everyone with the release of the Kindle Oasis. To start with Amazon had never released a new Kindle that early in the year before so no one was expecting it. But the biggest surprise with the Kindle Oasis was the new design idea that places most of its battery […]

How Many Weeks Does Your eBook Reader’s Battery Stay Charged?
One of the main things that separates ebook readers from other devices is their E Ink screens that use very little power, making it so ereaders can go weeks without needing their battery charged. Some companies even claim certain models can go up to 2 months between charges, like the Kindle Oasis and Kobo Aura. […]

Onyx Boox N96 CML Video Showing Kindle App and HYReader

Why is Kobo Aura One Always Out of Stock?
There’s something fishy going on with the Kobo Aura One. It’s gotten to the point where there has to be a good reason for it to be constantly out of stock from Kobo’s website, as least from the US Kobo site. Whenever they get more in stock they last for less than one day before […]
Onyx Boox N96 Gets Two Thumbs Down in Note Taking Video
Another video review recently surfaced on YouTube for the Onyx Boox N96, and it doesn’t look good if you were hoping for a note-taking device or sketchpad. The Onyx Boox N96 is an ereader/tablet hybrid that combines open Android 4.0 with a 9.7-inch E Ink screen. The two don’t naturally fit together so results are […]
