Get Kindle Unlimited Free for 3 Months
I saw a post over on reddit where some folks are getting 3 months of Kindle Unlimited for free. I think a Prime membership is required for the deal because I’m not seeing the offer without Prime (it shows up as 2 months for $4.99 for me). Other people are getting the 3-months for free […]

Kindle Scribe on Sale for Prime Members, Up to $90 off
Amazon has the Kindle Scribe on sale again, and this is the second lowest price it has sold for since it was released last year (prices are $10 higher than they were on Prime Day back in July). It’s another Prime Exclusive deal, of course, but the prices are $75-$90 off so it’s worth picking […]

Amazon Only Updating 10th and 11th Gen Kindles Now
It’s been over a week since Amazon released the 5.16.3 software update for Kindle ereaders, and it’s still only available for the 10th and 11th generation models so it looks like they’ve drawn a new line in the sand when it comes to what models are getting updates moving forward. There’s a slim chance that […]
