Last week Amazon released a software update for all Kindles dating back to 2015, except the Kindle Scribe wasn’t included in that round of updates.

New Kindle Software Update 5.15.1.1 Now Available to Download
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?

Amazon’s Official Kindle Covers On Sale for Most Models
On Sunday I posted about how Amazon has put the new Kindle for 2022 and the Kindle Paperwhite on sale this week leading up to Valentine’s Day. I didn’t notice it at the time, but at some point Amazon also put their official Kindle covers on sale as well, and pretty much all of them […]
