A couple weeks ago Amazon started rolling out a new software update for Kindle ereaders that added some new manga features, among other things.

Kindle for Kids Bundle Clearly Not Selling Well
About 2 years ago Amazon started selling a Kindle for Kids bundle, and it sounded like a good idea on the surface, but up to this point it appears to be a total flop. A few months after it was first released I posted about how the Kindle for Kids bundle wasn’t getting much attention, […]
Does Anyone Miss Having Word Games and Apps on Kindles?
A few years ago there used to be a variety of word games like Scrabble and apps like notepads available for E Ink Kindles that Amazon called Kindle Active Content.

So this article is going to […]
How Much Would You Pay for a Larger Kindle?
Lots of people have been wishing for Amazon to release a larger Kindle, especially now that Kobo offers the Kobo Aura One with a 7.8-inch E Ink screen that has turned out to be quite popular. Amazon currently sells four different Kindles and all of them have the same size 6-inch screen, and three of […]

Amazon added a feature called Family Library a couple years back that lets users share Kindle ebooks and other digital content between two linked Amazon accounts.
