Amazon has started rolling out a bunch of early deals on various products, including Kindle ereaders and the Kindle Scribe. Some of the deals are Prime exclusive sales, but some of the deals don’t require a Prime membership at all. Either way, it’s a good time to buy a Kindle at a discount. Most of […]

New Kindle Jailbreak Released, Works With Latest Software
There’s a new jailbreak method called AdBreak for Kindle ereaders that works with newer software from version 5.18.1 through the latest software update 5.18.5 that added a new DRM to Kindles (eventually this jailbreak could help get around the new DRM). You can find the directions and download over on the AdBreak thread at MobileRead. […]
New DRM Added to Kindles with 5.18.5 Update, Breaking DRM Removal
It looks like Amazon is closing off one of the last remaining methods that allows people to remove the DRM from their purchased Kindle ebooks, locking down the Kindle platform even more than it’s ever been before with a new type of DRM for Kindle devices. This comes after Amazon removed the ability to download […]
How to Bypass Invalid ASIN Error on Kindles

Kindle Software Update 5.18.5 Released, Adds New Features
It’s time for yet another Kindle software update. Amazon has been releasing software updates at a prolific pace lately (by my count this is the 7th Kindle software update that Amazon has released so far this year), and while some updates seem to do nothing, this latest update officially adds all the new features that […]
New Kindle Predictions for 2025 – New Kindles Coming Soon
Last year Amazon released a whole new line of Kindles with a new basic Kindle, a new Paperwhite, a new Kindle Scribe and the first Kindle with a color E Ink screen, the Kindle Colorsoft. That was the most action the Kindle brand has seen in many years, and it’ll probably be a long time […]
Kindle Anniversary – Amazon Giving Kindle Owners a Special Discount
Amazon is sending out emails to some Kindle owners about an anniversary of Kindle ownership, with a 20% off discount code to buy a new Kindle. It’s a targeted discount so it won’t be available for everyone, but I noticed something odd about the offer. I received one of the anniversary emails, and one of […]
