Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been reading Kindle ebooks on the Boox Palma 2, and I noticed that the Kindle Android app now supports in-app ebook purchases.

Amazon is Shutting Down Kindle Vella
Amazon has announced they’ve started winding down Kindle Vella, and they plan to put an end to it entirely in February of 2025. If you’re wondering what Kindle Vella is, you’re not alone.

How to Share Library eBooks Between Kindles and Kobos
Last week I posted about how it’s now possible to borrow ebooks from public libraries directly from Kindles using the new updated web browser, and that reminded me how it’s also possible to share library ebooks between Kindle and Kobo ereaders. This isn’t new but I doubt most people know about it, and it’s not […]
Send to Kindle Losing MOBI Support, Probably for Real This Time
