Amazon has released a new software update for Kindle ereaders. It’s been nearly 5 months since the last software update was released so it’s been quite a bit longer than usual.

Why is Amazon So Bad at Recommending Kindle eBooks?
Do you ever find the ebook recommendations on Kindle ereaders and Amazon’s website useful? I used to check the Kindle ebooks section of Amazon’s website regularly, but now it’s just row after row of useless recommendations that I could care less about. It’s the same story on the homepage of Kindle ereaders. It seems like […]
Another Kindle Bug – Document Covers No Longer Displaying on Lockscreen
There’s yet another Kindle bug going around. This is at least the third one this year, along with the blank screen issue and the disappearing notes bug on the Kindle Scribe.

List of Latest Software Version for Every Kindle
I’ve noticed that it’s pretty common for people to encounter problems with their Kindles when the software isn’t up-to-date, especially on older models. If you buy an older Kindle, some of the features might not work properly or you might have trouble registering it if the software is outdated. Amazon’s customer service is pretty clueless […]
