Kindles are the most popular dedicated reading devices by far. In fact a lot of people think all ebook readers are Kindles even when it’s a Kobo or a Nook. As much as I like Kindles, they are far from perfect. Amazon is much slower to innovate that other brands, and they have a tendency […]

Now that Amazon has started rolling out an update that adds a Dark Mode toggle to the quick settings menu, there’s some confusion over which models have it and which models don’t. Dark Mode isn’t available on all Kindles and it’s not a new feature. It was previously referred to as Inverted Mode, and it […]
