A couple weeks ago I posted a list of Amazon Prime’s Kindle related benefits, and I noted how it’s easy to forget about Kindle First (at least for me it is), so I figured I’d post a reminder for this month. Kindle First gives Amazon Prime members early access to a list of six ebooks […]

What Will Amazon Do for Kindle’s 10th Anniversary?
It’s hard to believe but Kindles have been around for nearly 10 years now. Amazon released the first Kindle (pictured above) in November 2007. It sold out in less than 6 hours and was on backorder for several months after that. So with the Kindle’s tenth anniversary coming up in just a few months, it […]

List of Amazon Prime’s Kindle Related Benefits
Amazon Prime first started out as a way to get free 2-day shipping on products sold by Amazon, but over the years they’ve continued to add new benefits to the service, such as video and music streaming. It’s gotten to the point now where there are so many things that it can be easy to […]
Here’s a New Way to Quickly Send ePub eBooks to Your Kindle
I noticed a post at MobileRead about getting ePub ebooks on a Kindle without conversion.

50 Tips & Tricks for Amazon Fire Tablets – 2017 Edition
A few years ago I posted a tips and tricks guide for Fire HD and HDX tablets, but a lot has changed since then, especially since Amazon upgraded to Fire OS 5, so I’ve gone through and updated the list to apply to the new 7th generation Fire HD 8 and 7-inch Fire tablets for […]
Woot Deals: $49 Kindle Paperwhite 2, $25 Fire HD 6 and More
Woot has some previous generation Kindles and Fire tablets on sale again. Like usual they’re labeled as refurbished, not new. They’ve got the Kindle Paperwhite 2 available for $49, but it’s almost gone already so it probably won’t last much longer. They’ve also got the 3G Kindle Paperwhite 2 for $65. That’s a really low […]
Alternate Protective Cases for Kindle Oasis – USB DVD Cases
A reader recently sent in a tip (thanks, ABCruz!) about an alternative option for Kindle Oasis cases—USB DVD protective sleeves. It turns out there aren’t many options when it comes to protective cases for the Kindle Oasis. Obviously it comes with its own unique charging cover, but it doesn’t provide very much protection, especially since […]
