The Kindle Scribe is Underrated
The Kindle Scribe is one of the best Kindles that Amazon has ever released, but it doesn’t get the same level of appreciation as other Kindles.

Dark Mode (white text on a black background) is a relatively new feature on E Ink ereaders, at least officially—there have […]
Regular Kindles Getting Less New Features and Updates Now
I can’t help but notice that the software development of regular Kindle ereaders has slowed to a crawl ever since the Kindle Scribe came along.
