Ever since Amazon announced the upcoming release of the Kindle Oasis 3 with adjustable frontlight color, which comes out later this month, the price of the Kindle Oasis 2 has plummeted to all-time lows. Amazon now has the refurbished Kindle Oasis 2 on sale for $169—$40 off the regular price. That’s $30 less than the […]

Why Does Amazon Make Such a Big Deal About Audiobooks on Kindles?
I can’t understand the heavy marketing push for audiobooks on Kindles.

Obviously audiobooks are another revenue stream that Amazon wants consumers to […]
Do People Still Buy Kindles with Cellular Connectivity?
Kindles are the only dedicated ebook readers with the option to have cellular connectivity to download ebooks when away from WiFi connections.

Will Amazon Ever Release Another Kindle Like the Kindle Voyage?
You’d be surprised by how many people still consider the Kindle Voyage, which was released back in 2014, the gold standard when it comes to Kindles. The unusual design of the Kindle Oasis puts off some people, and the poor battery life complaints don’t help its cause either. That’s why some people are frustrated with […]
New Kindle Oasis Features an Upgraded E Ink Screen
Last week when Amazon unveiled the new Kindle Oasis, it was mainly about the addition of frontlight color adjustment, but they also hinted at improvements with the E Ink screen. I thought it was probably just marketing hype at first but it sounds the new Kindle Oasis does indeed have an upgraded E Ink screen. […]
