Here’s something that seems kind of interesting. The base Kindle, the latest model that was released in 2022, is currently unavailable to purchase new on Amazon, and it appears to be out of stock from most of Amazon’s international websites as well. What’s weird is the kids version of that very same Kindle appears to […]

Amazon Removing Kindle Flashcards Feature
Amazon has started sending out emails notifying customers about their plan to discontinue the Flashcards feature on Kindles. Apparently they’ve already started removing the Flashcards feature from Kindle apps, and they plan on doing away with Flashcards entirely in November of 2024.

Color Kindle Rumor Looking Much More Likely Now
Earlier this year, I posted about a rumor that was going around about how a reliable market analyst in China predicted that Amazon would release color Kindles in 2025, and now that the Remarkable Paper Pro has been released with an E Ink Gallery 3 screen, that rumor has gained a lot of validity.

Did Amazon Discontinue the Kindle Scribe Basic Pen?
This is kind of weird. I tried to find the basic pen for the Kindle Scribe on Amazon’s website this morning, and it’s like it doesn’t exist anymore. It doesn’t turn up in search results and if you follow an old link for the basic stylus is just goes to the listing for the Premium […]
Both Kindle Kids Bundles Now On Sale – Better Deals Than Prime Day
Amazon is running another sale again, with up to 40% off on Amazon devices, and both the Kindle Kids and Kindle Paperwhite Kids are included in the deals (and they’re not just for kids, in case you didn’t know). They’re only 21% off, not 40% off—that’s where they the infamous “up to” comes in to […]

It looks like all the random bugs and problems people have been experiencing with their Kindles lately since the last software update has leaked into other parts of the Kindle ecosystem. I noticed some weird things going on with Kindle listings on Amazon’s website today. Chief among them is Amazon now charging $500 for the […]
