Top 8 Best Kindles Ever Ranked by Customer Reviews
I thought it would be interesting to list the top 8 Kindles of all time with the highest ratings in terms of average customer reviews.

Most of the time syncing is a good option to have enabled, especially if […]
Kindle Oasis vs Onyx Boox Note Comparison Video
Here’s a comparison video between the 7-inch Kindle Oasis 2 and the 10.3-inch Onyx Boox Note. It’s not a typical comparison review because I doubt many people are trying to decide between getting a Kindle and an Onyx Boox Note since they’re very different devices with a big price gap between them, but they do […]
How to Use Kindle’s New Custom Font Feature (Video)
Thanks to the latest Kindle software update, it’s now possible to easily load additional font types onto Kindle ebook readers to further customize the reading experience. The custom fonts feature is available on all current Kindles going back five years to the Kindle Paperwhite 2, so that includes 6th through 9th generation models. In order […]
