Somehow Kindles continue to dominate the ereader market, and yet if you follow the industry closely it’s readily apparent that Kindles are the least innovative and the slowest to change and get upgrades compared to other brands. All the other main ereader companies now offer devices with color E Ink screens in addition to ereaders […]

Something About the Kindle Scribe Doesn’t Add Up
It’s been eighteen months since Amazon released the Kindle Scribe, and I still can’t figure out their motivation behind it, or why it’s on sale all the time at what seems to be unusually low prices. The Kindle Scribe is the only Kindle currently on sale at Amazon, and it starts at $239 for the […]
The Kindle Oasis Has Been Edited Out of Existence

Unfortunately these cannot be purchased if your address is in the United […]

This year they’re doing things differently, but you can still get one Kindle book for free from a list of eight books published in different parts of the world. At least that’s the theory. To claim your free Kindle […]
The Mysterious Recurring Kindle Scribe Sale
I noticed over the past week that Amazon has been putting the Kindle Scribe on sale, but they’re only doing it for maybe a few hours each day. I don’t understand the point of putting it on sale off and on each day, but it’s what they’ve been doing. I was going to post about […]
The Best Time to Buy Kindles at the Lowest Prices
People often ask when is the best time to buy a new Kindle at the lowest price, and the answer is usually Prime Day. Kindles often hit their lowest prices ever during Prime Day sales, but an Amazon Prime membership is required, of course, so the cost of that has to be taken into account, […]
