Around this time last year Amazon updated the software on the Kindle Scribe, and they changed the USB protocol from USB mass storage to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol), which works fine with Windows computers but Mac computers don’t support MTP without using 3rd-party software. I often see people complaining about having problems with the Kindle […]

Software Update for Kindle Oasis 3 – Another Peculiar Update
Amazon has released yet another Kindle software update, and so far it’s only available for the 10th generation Kindle Oasis, which is rather odd. Amazon usually updates all 10th and 11th gen Kindles at the same time, and the Kindle Scribe is usually updated concurrently as well, but the Scribe was left out of the […]
The Kindle is Out of Stock Just About Everywhere
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. Users can request the flashcards associated with their account from this page at […]
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. The […]
New Kindle Paperwhite 6 Prediction for 2024
I think Amazon is going to announce the upcoming release of a Kindle Paperwhite 6 soon, a new 12th generation model, and I wanted to do a prediction post to explain why I think that’s going to happen. First off, I have no inside knowledge about any new Kindles coming out in 2024, and there […]
New Kindle Software Update 5.16.21 Released
Exactly one month ago to the day, Amazon released a software update for Kindles that introduced a lot of bugs and random problems, but now there’s a new software update available that hopefully fixes most of those issues. The new software update version is 5.16.21, and it’s available for all 10th and 11th generation Kindles, […]
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 […]
