I thought it would be interesting to compare the current state of the lower end Kindle with the new Kobo Clara BW and the Kobo Clara Colour. I recently posted about how Kindles are lagging behind the competition, and this is good example of that. There’s only a $10 price difference between the Kindle and […]

Get 3 Months of Kindle Unlimited for Free (YMMV)
I saw a forum post about Amazon giving away 3 months of Kindle Unlimited for free so I went and checked it out and the promotion is indeed available for me too, and I don’t have Prime so it appears to be available for regular accounts. You can check the main Kindle Unlimited landing page […]
Kindle eReaders are Lagging Behind, Again
Somehow Kindles continue to dominate the ereader market, and yet if you follow the industry closely it’s readily apparent that Kindles are the least innovative and the slowest to change and get upgrades compared to other brands. All the other main ereader companies now offer devices with color E Ink screens in addition to ereaders […]
Something About the Kindle Scribe Doesn’t Add Up
It’s been eighteen months since Amazon released the Kindle Scribe, and I still can’t figure out their motivation behind it, or why it’s on sale all the time at what seems to be unusually low prices. The Kindle Scribe is the only Kindle currently on sale at Amazon, and it starts at $239 for the […]

Then in February Amazon started actively removing the Kindle Oasis from […]
Kindle eReaders Now On Sale for Mother’s Day
It’s that time of year again when Amazon has a bunch of products on sale leading up to Mother’s Day, including the Kindle, the Kindle Paperwhite, and the Kindle Scribe. While all three versions of the Kindle are on sale, the Signature Edition Kindle Paperwhite is still full price and so are the kids models. […]
International Kindle Oasis on Clearance for 50% off
Amazon decided to discontinue the Kindle Oasis earlier this year, and they’re getting pretty hard to find in new condition now, but Amazon is currently running a sale on the international version of the Kindle Oasis, and it’s 50% off the list price. Unfortunately these cannot be purchased if your address is in the United […]
Get a Free Kindle eBook for World Book Day (Maybe)
Every year Amazon gives away some Kindle ebooks for free to help celebrate World Book Day. This year they’re doing things differently, but you can still get one Kindle book for free from a list of eight books published in different parts of the world. At least that’s the theory. To claim your free Kindle […]
