The Kindle Oasis wasn’t the first ereader to have an offset design with page buttons on one side of the screen, but it was the device that popularized that type of design, along with the 7″ screen size. Now just about every ereader company sells their own Oasis clone with a similar asymmetrical design and […]

How to Borrow Library eBooks Directly on Kindles (Video)
Last December I posted about how it’s now possible to borrow library ebooks on Kindles using the new updated web browser, but I still don’t think most people know that library ebooks can work that way on Kindles, and Amazon doesn’t advertise that fact anywhere.

Kindle vs Kobo Clara BW and Clara Colour Comparison Review
I thought it would be interesting to compare the current state of the lower end Kindle with the new Kobo Clara BW and the Kobo Clara Colour.

The Kindle Oasis Has Been Edited Out of Existence
It started last fall when the Kindle Oasis started to periodically show up as “currently unavailable” on Amazon’s website, and then by December it was no longer available to purchase in the US, with some exceptions when a few would show up again occasionally. Then in February Amazon started actively removing the Kindle Oasis from […]
