Amazon Switching Manage Your Content Page to Your Books Page
Amazon has started redirecting people to the Your Books page on their website instead of the Manage Your Content page that’s been around forever. When you go to the Account section on Amazon’s website, or if you use the drop-down menu on the main account link at the top right, there’s a link for Content […]
Kindle Paperwhite Kids Bundle On Sale, Including New Summer Edition
Ever since Prime Day ended last month, Amazon hasn’t had much going on in the sales department as far as Kindles go, but now they have the Kindle Paperwhite Kids Bundle on sale, and it’s a lower price than buying the Kindle Paperwhite on its own, so it’s the better option for adults that are […]

If you’re thinking about buying one of the earlier Kindle Scribe models (which are easily distinguishable by their larger “handle” side), you should know that the first two versions don’t have access to all the same features as newer Kindle Scribes released in 2025 and 2026.

Is Amazon Going to Release Any New Kindles in 2026?
People are starting to wonder if Amazon has any new Kindles coming out later in the year, but I don’t think the odds are very high since there’s really only one model that could get replaced in 2026. Unless Amazon comes out with a new product entirely—like a mini Kindle (unlikely), or a smaller Kindle […]
Limited Edition Harry Potter Cases for Kindle Paperwhite and Colorsoft
Amazon is now selling limited-edition Harry Potter cases for the 12th generation Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Colorsoft. The Harry Potter covers are available in four different designs and colors, one for each of the four Hogwarts houses—Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw (I forgot the Hufflepuff mascot was a badger—it’s the meanest looking one of the […]
