I noticed this morning that Amazon is selling the Kindle Oasis 3 again. It’s in new condition too, not refurbished like you might expect at this point, and they have the 8GB version and the 32GB version in stock. It was around this time last year when Amazon started phasing out the Kindle Oasis, and […]

Kindle Unlimited Deal is Back – 3 Months for $0.99
Amazon is currently offering 3 months of Kindle Unlimited for $0.99 again like they did a few weeks ago for Black Friday. They’re advertising the deal on their homepage so I took a screenshot to prove the deal is real. However, these types of offers are notorious for only being available under certain circumstances.

The Kindle Colorsoft started shipping at the end of October, but soon after it was released the shipping date got pushed back to 3-5 weeks because of the well-publicized frontlight issue. A few days ago shipping was still several weeks out, but now all of the sudden the Kindle Colorsoft is back in stock at […]

The newer Kindles have a different software version (5.17.1.0.4) than previous gen models (5.17.1.0.3), and the Kindle Colorsoft is still missing from the updates page so it’s not included […]
