There are a lot of reports of the Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Colorsoft (which is exactly the same as the Paperwhite but with a color screen) having frontlights with a yellow tinge at the cool end of the frontlight spectrum. And some have a yellowing that is more pronounced at the bottom of the screen. […]

New Kindles Still Shipping with Old Software Compatible with Jailbreak
Last week I said the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition was the best Kindle deal for Prime Day this year, and that wasn’t just a shameless plug. I really felt that way, so much so that I couldn’t resist buying one myself, even though I already have a 12th gen Paperwhite. I traded-in an old Kindle […]
Prime Day Kindle Deals are Much Better This Year Than Last
I saw some reports online about how Prime Day sales are down this year. I don’t know it that’s true or not, but there’s also the fact that Amazon turned Prime “Day” into a 4-day event this year instead of 2 days like in years past so the sales are still ongoing through today. I […]

When Amazon released the latest 5.18.3 software update for Kindles last month, they left the release notes blank, as they often do, so it was easy to assume it was another minor software update without any notable changes. It turns out that is not the case at all. The 5.18.3 update was actually a pretty […]

Prime Day doesn’t officially kick off until July 8th, but Amazon has already rolled out a bunch of early sales on Kindle ereaders, and some of the deals are seriously impressive (the full updated list is below). The base Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite probably won’t go on sale until Prime Day, but Amazon has a […]
Kindle DX Selling on Amazon Again – What Year Is This?
Amazon’s website has gone haywire again. It seems to think it’s 2009 because the Kindle DX has suddenly resurfaced in Amazon’s search results, and it’s even available to order again for $489. Yeah, right. The listing says it’s “Temporarily out of stock,” but you can place an order and Amazon will “deliver it when available”. […]
