Last week I posted about how Amazon changed the reading progress indicator on Kindles with the last software update, and some people are having problems seeing it now because it’s so small, and there are reports of a number of other more detrimental issues caused by the update as well. The problems don’t seem to […]

Last Kindle Update Changed Reading Progress Indicator, and Some Hate It
I’ve noticed a bunch of new posts on reddit lately with people complaining about changes to the reading progress indicator that’s at the bottom of the page while reading on Kindles.

Kindle Paperwhite and Oasis Covers on Sale, Wireless Charging Dock Too
Amazon currently has some Kindle accessories on sale for a limited time (who knows how long that is), and it’s not something they do very often so you might want to check it out. Some of the deals are actually pretty good, and they’re on Amazon’s official covers, which tend to hold up well. The […]
Kindles on Sale with Prime Day Prices Again, But Not at Amazon

One thing about Kindle ereaders that’s kind of unique (and strange) is the fact that newer models don’t offer very many upgrades if you’re coming from an older model, even going back as much as 10 years. When it comes to other types of electronic gadgets, most companies are trying to get people to upgrade […]
Kindle Software Update Released, with Changes to Your Lists
It’s that time again. Amazon’s Kindle ereaders are getting another round of software updates, and they’re getting a bit carried away with decimal points on this one. The new firmware version is 5.16.10.0.1, and it’s available for all 10th and 11th generation Kindles, as well as the Kindle Scribe. That covers all Kindles released over […]
