I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: There’s something weird going on with the entry-level Kindle. It seems like every time Amazon puts Kindles on sale the entry-level model becomes instantly unavailable for several weeks. At some point you’d think they would get enough to keep up with demand. They don’t seem to […]

How to Add Wireless Charging to Kindle eReaders
I saw a post on Reddit the other day about how someone added wireless charging to their Kindle Paperwhite and I thought it was a pretty interesting workaround. It doesn’t require any technical work and only costs a few bucks. Looking over some of the reviews at Amazon this is something that has worked for […]

Valentine’s Day is coming up on February 14th, and as you would expect Amazon has their Kindle ereaders on sale for the holiday.

The banner says: “The most advanced Kindle just got faster. Kindle Oasis now with faster page turns.” This new banner just started showing up but there’s been […]
Get 20% Off When Buying 2 Kindles, Plus $39 Kindle Deal
Kindles are on sale at Amazon once again, but it’s not a typical sale that takes $30-40 off the regular price like most Kindle sales. This offer requires buying two Kindles to get 20% off the total price. It applies to all the Kindle models that Amazon sells new, except the Kids Kindle, and it […]
Could New Kindle Releases Start Becoming Much Less Frequent?
Last year was the first calendar year since 2008 where Amazon didn’t release a new Kindle model, and that was the year after the very first Kindle was released so that’s going all the way back to the beginning. The current Kindle Paperwhite was released in 2018, and both the entry-level Kindle and Kindle Oasis […]
