A new software jailbreak called LanguageBreak has been released for Kindle ereaders, and it’s supposed to work on all Kindles, including the Kindle Scribe (which previous methods didn’t work on), as long as the software version is 5.16.2.1.1 or older. Amazon just released a new software update for 10th and 11th generation Kindles last week, […]

Another Kindle Software Update Released, Version 5.16.4
There’s another new software update available for all 10th and 11th generation Kindles, including the Kindle Scribe, the Kindle Paperwhite 4 and 5, the Kindle Oasis 3, and the last two entry-level Kindles from 2022 and 2019.

Kindle eReaders Deleting Sideloaded eBooks?
Lately there have been a number of reports of Kindle ereaders suddenly deleting sideloaded ebooks under certain circumstances, with some reports going back several months. It appears to be a bug that onlys affects ebooks that were sideloaded using Calibre; it doesn’t seem to happen with Amazon’s ebooks or sideloaded books sent using Amazon’s Send-to-Kindle […]

Amazon added support for viewing Notebooks created on the Kindle Scribe using the iOS app a long time ago, but now […]
Kindle Deals List for Prime Day Part 2 – Prime Isn’t Required!
Amazon is running another sales event called Prime Big Deals Days on October 10th and 11th, so of course all Kindle ereaders are on sale again, and a Prime membership isn’t required to get in on these deals, although there are some Prime Exclusive deals on bundles. The prices aren’t quite as low as they […]
Another Mystery Kindle Software Update Released
Amazon has released another software update for the current line of Kindles, as well the previous 10th generation models (the Paperwhite 4 and 2019 entry-level Kindle). They just tacked on another .1 to the previous update from late August so it’s probably just a minor update that fixes a bug or introduces a new mystery […]
Should Amazon Release a Color Kindle Like the InkPad Color 2?
I posted a review of the PocketBook InkPad Color 2 yesterday, and whenever a new device with a color E Ink screen comes out, it makes me wonder if Amazon is ever going to release a color Kindle. Whenever I get a new color E Ink device, one thing that stands out is the fact […]
