It’s been almost four months since they started selling them in the US, and it’s been over six months since they were announced.

Software Update Released for Kindle eReaders – Version 5.19.3.0.1
A couple weeks ago Amazon released software version 5.19.3 for Kindles that must’ve had some serious problems because they removed the update from their website after just 2 days, but now they have a new update out that hopefully fixes whatever issues the last update created. The new software version is 5.19.3.0.1, and it’s available […]
How to Open the Full Dictionary on Kindles with Newer Software
Ever since the 5.18.6 software update from last November, Kindles no longer have the option to open the full dictionary as a book when looking up words like they’ve been able to do for as long as I can remember.

Fig Kindle Scribe Colorsoft Still Not Shipping Anytime Soon
Something weird is going on with the release of the new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft, particularly the version that comes in the fig color (some say it’s purple, some say it’s red; whatever color it is it’s “fig”). Amazon seems to be having production problems or shipping problems—someting has to be going on when you consider […]
List of Differences Between Kids Kindles and Regular Kindles
Last week Amazon posted an article, The top 7 questions about Kindle for kids, answered, on their News website, and it’s kind of misleading; the AI that wrote it, as you’d expect, is confusing the facts. For example, under the first section, right off the bat, there’s a factually false statement. It says that Kindle […]
