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.

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 […]

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. Apparently the latest software update, version 5.16.10.0.1, changed the look of the reading progress indicator, which shows the percentage read and gives estimated reading […]
