When Amazon released the latest 5.18.3 software update for Kindles last month, they left the release notes blank, as they often do, so it was easy to assume it was another minor software update without any notable changes. It turns out that is not the case at all. The 5.18.3 update was actually a pretty […]

Kindles Now On Sale for Prime Day – Full List of Deals
Prime Day doesn’t officially kick off until July 8th, but Amazon has already rolled out a bunch of early sales on Kindle ereaders, and some of the deals are seriously impressive (the full updated list is below).

Kindle DX Selling on Amazon Again – What Year Is This?
Amazon’s website has gone haywire again. It seems to think it’s 2009 because the Kindle DX has suddenly resurfaced in Amazon’s search results, and it’s even available to order again for $489.

I’ve been following Kindles since 2009 when I first started this website, and for as long as I can remember Kindles have always had the same three line spacing settings, with no option to adjust character spacing, word spacing, or paragraph spacing. That is no longer the case. With the latest 5.18.3 software update, Kindles […]

Are Kindle eReaders Less Appealing Now Than Ever?
As someone who has been following the dedicated ereader market for the past 16 years, it seems like Kindles, to some extent, have lost their shine over the past few years. There has always been an anti-Amazon crowd, and there has always been plenty of Kindle detractors out there, but it just seems like Kindles […]
