Last week I posted about the new spacing settings that were added to Kindles after the latest software update, and it looks like there were some other changes hidden in the software update as well. I’ve been seeing a bunch of posts online about a new layout change that appears while reading when you open […]

Kindles Have New Spacing Settings After Last Update (Video)
I’ve been following Kindles since 2009 when I first started this website, and for as long as I can remember Kindles have always had the same three line spacing settings, with no option to adjust character spacing, word spacing, or paragraph spacing. That is no longer the case. With the latest 5.18.3 software update, Kindles […]

Are Kindle eReaders Less Appealing Now Than Ever?
As someone who has been following the dedicated ereader market for the past 16 years, it seems like Kindles, to some extent, have lost their shine over the past few years.

Some Good and Not So Good Kindle Deals at Woot
If you’re looking to score a Kindle for cheap, Woot is having another Amazon Devices sales event for their 21st anniversary. In typical Woot fashion, most of the Kindle deals were already sold out after like 5 minutes, but there are still a few deals to be had. They’re practically giving away some of the […]
Kindle Scribe 2 Now $100 Off – New Low Price
Amazon has the latest Kindle Scribe on sale as part of their tech deals for Fathers’ Day, and the sale price sets a new low price for the Kindle Scribe 2 at $299. That’s significantly less than what similar 10″ eNotes sell for, and the Scribe has better reading features than most. The first Kindle […]
Kindles Have the Worst Home Screen Layout by Far
I don’t know what Amazon was thinking when they redesigned the Kindle’s homescreen. I guess their main goal was to add as many shopping links as possible in a small space without any regard for the user experience at all. I’ve used a lot of ereaders from a lot of brands over the past 16 […]
