You Won’t Believe This Kindle Colorsoft Teardown Video
Below is a video showing someone destroying a Kindle Colorsoft, and it’s one of the most interesting and informative Kindle videos I’ve ever seen.

This Proves the Kindle Colorsoft is Massively Overpriced

Kindles Do Support Sideloading Library eBooks (Except New Models)
There seems to be a common misconception about how Kindles work with ebooks borrowed from public libraries through OverDrive/Libby. Between Amazon randomly deleting USB sideloaded content and people trying to avoid getting automatic software updates that potentialy break things, especailly after jailbreaking their Kindle, some people feel like they’re asking for trouble by leaving their […]
