Yesterday I posted about how Amazon is almost entirely out of Kindles, but the few models they do have left in stock are on sale today and tomorrow for Prime Big Deal Days. The funny thing is a Prime membership is not required for most of these deals; only the bundle packages are Prime exclusive […]

Kindle Lineup in a Sorry State Right Now, with Most Kindles Unavailable
Amazon’s Kindle lineup has wasted away to practically nothing over the past month or so; most models are out of stock, and in some regions Kindles are no longer available to purchase at all. With Prime Day part 2 coming up tomorrow, people are expecting Kindles to go on sale like they always do during […]
Kindle Paperwhite Kids Now $55 off; Paperwhite Covers on Sale Too
The Kindle Paperwhite kids bundle is currently on sale for $114.99. That’s the lowest price it’s been in a long time. It was on sale for $149.99 during Prime Day, and last month it was down to $134.99, so this deal is significantly better than those deals. In these kind of situations people are always […]
Kindle Unlimited 3 Months Free for Prime Members
Amazon has brought back their Kindle Unlimited deal where Prime members can get 3 months for free. It’s been 3 months since the last time they did this deal so if you claimed that offer then this one is probably coming along just at the right time. Like usual, this deal does not apply to […]

The FCC paperwork reveals very little information about the upcoming devices, but […]
Software Update Now Available for Kindle Scribe
Amazon has finally released the latest software update (well, the second latest, technically) for the Kindle Scribe, so now it’s running the same software version as other recent Kindles (except the 10th generation Kindle Oasis). The new software version is 5.16.21. About a month ago Amazon released the 5.16.21 software update for all 10th and […]
Amazon No Longer Removing Ads on Kindles for Free
For many years now it’s been known that you can get the advertisements removed for free on ad-supported Kindles simply by asking Amazon’s customer support to get rid of them, or complaining about the types of ads that are shown. But it looks like Amazon has changed their policy and they’re no longer removing ads […]
