Amazon’s software updates for Kindle ereaders have been pretty uninspired lately, with few changes being made and long-standing bugs not getting fixed (like sideloaded content getting deleted and custom font settings getting reset), but it looks like they might be making some pretty big changes to annotations soon. Jhowell over at MobileRead has a history […]

Current Kindles Don’t Offer Enough Reasons to Upgrade
One thing about Kindle ereaders that’s kind of unique (and strange) is the fact that newer models don’t offer very many upgrades if you’re coming from an older model, even going back as much as 10 years. When it comes to other types of electronic gadgets, most companies are trying to get people to upgrade […]
Kindle Software Update Released, with Changes to Your Lists
It’s that time again. Amazon’s Kindle ereaders are getting another round of software updates, and they’re getting a bit carried away with decimal points on this one. The new firmware version is 5.16.10.0.1, and it’s available for all 10th and 11th generation Kindles, as well as the Kindle Scribe. That covers all Kindles released over […]

Is Kindle Scribe to Blame for Meager Kindle Sales?
Something changed with Amazon’s approach to putting Kindles on sale late last year when they only took $20 off the Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite for their vaunted Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. Since then, Kindles have been going on sale less frequently than they used to, and when they do go on sale the […]
Kindle Prime Day Deals List 2024 – Worst Deals Ever
Amazon’s Prime Day sales are now live, and the deals on Kindles are the worst I’ve ever seen, with the exception of the Kindle Scribe. My Prime Day predictions were way off because I was using last year’s sales as a starting point, and the deals aren’t nearly as good this year. Prime Day used […]
Kindle Scribe Now on Sale for $235 for Prime Members
Amazon has rolled out an early Prime Day deal on the Kindle Scribe, and it’s at the lowest sale price ever since it was released in November of 2022. Unfortunately only the 16GB model is on sale currently, so if you want one of the higher capacity models you’ll have to wait a bit longer. […]
