A reader sent in an email over the weekend commenting about how they were at a retail store and noticed some ereaders on display, and they thought the build quality of current devices is vastly inferior to what was available a few years ago. In some ways I have to agree with that sentiment. The […]

New AirBook City Base, a Basic eReader for $80 (Video)
I came across an unusual ebook reader listed at Amazon called the AirBook City Base. It’s a basic ebook reader with a 6-inch E Ink Pearl screen. It doesn’t have Wi-Fi and it doesn’t have a touchscreen but it is quite cheap at $80 with free shipping. The AirBook City Base is sold by a […]
13.3-inch Onyx Boox Max Now Available for Pre-Order
The much-anticipated 13.3-inch Onyx Boox Max is one step closer to getting released. The website eReader-Store.de, a specialized ereader retailer based in Germany, has the Onyx Boox Max up for pre-order for 585 euros, or 696 euros with tax. The listing says it’s an introductory pre-order price so I guess that means the price will […]

New Energy eReader HD Models Available from Amazon

I don’t recall the Energy eReaders selling in the US from Amazon before, so I didn’t think to check. The company is based in Spain and sells their ereaders on […]

Last week I posted about the Energy eReader Pro HD, a new thin flush-screen ereader with Android 4.2 and Google Play from Energy Sistem, an electronics company based in Spain. Energy Sistem has also released two other new ereaders to add to their lineup, the Screenlight HD and Slim HD. Both are more basic than […]
Kindle Voyage Finally Available in Canada
Amazon has officially released the Kindle Voyage in Canada. It’s been well over a year since it was released in the United States, so I guess it’s better late than never. A lot of people like to blame Amazon for the delay because of some big conspiracy, and blaming Amazon is a popular thing to […]
New Energy eReader Pro HD Released
Last week Energy Sistem released a new ebook reader in Europe called the Energy eReader Pro HD. It’s another newer Boyue-based ereader very similar to the InkBook Obsidian that I recently reviewed. The Energy eReader Pro HD has a slightly different outer design but all the elements are essentially the same, with a flush screen, […]
