So I just got done posting the article about how the details have leaked about the 2nd generation Kindle Paperwhite. At the time I was writing the article, the description page for the Kindle Paperwhite 2 at Amazon wasn’t working, presumably because they discovered the leak and took it down. But then I was thinking […]

Kindle Paperwhite 2 Details Leaked
Earlier today Amazon slipped up and accidentally started displaying the new product listing page for the 2nd generation Kindle Paperwhite. They have since taken the product listing page down (it’s back; in fact I just pre-ordered one), but not before someone snapped some screenshots listing the new features. The Kindle Paperwhite 2 appears to be […]
All E Ink Kindles Should Come With Free 3G Wireless
Something occurred to me this past week with the WiFi Kindle Paperwhite becoming unavailable from Amazon.com (unless you live outside the United States, that is). Why does Amazon charge more for the Kindle Paperwhite with 3G wireless? Why do WiFi-only E Ink Kindles exist at all? After all, when we really stop to think about […]
Amazon Launches Mexico Kindle Store, Starts Selling Kindles at Gandhi Stores

Amazon Selectively Choosing Not to Sell WiFi Kindle Paperwhites to the US
All week I’ve been keeping track of the mysterious Kindle Paperwhite disappearance, posting articles when the $119 model became unavailable and then again the next day when the $139 Paperwhite vanished, leaving only the more expensive Kindle Paperwhite with 3G wireless available for purchase. Then yesterday I noticed something even stranger that makes me think […]
Amazon is Running Out of Kindle Paperwhites – $139 Model Gone Now Too
Yesterday I reported about how Amazon had suddenly stopped selling the $119 Kindle Paperwhite with Special Offers, that it was only available used and there was no mention of a return date when it would be back in stock. Now the $139 non-ad Kindle Paperwhite is gone too. It disappeared yesterday evening, less than 24 […]
Comparing Reading Features on Kindle Fire and Kindle Android App – A List of Differences
One question that comes up frequently here on The eBook Reader.com is about the differences between the Kindle Fire HD and Kindle for Android app when it comes to reading features. I notice people questioning the differences when trying to decide between the Kindle Fire and some other Android tablet like the Google Nexus 7 […]
$119 Kindle Paperwhite No Longer Available from Amazon
Here’s an interesting twist. As of this morning, Amazon is no longer selling the base Kindle Paperwhite, the cheapest model that comes with Special Offers that normally sells for $119. The $139 Wi-Fi Paperwhite without Special Offers is still available, as are both 3G Paperwhites. But what happened to the other one? It might very […]
