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.

My Kindle Voyage Broke Today – Avoid Doing What I Did
It finally happened. After sixteen years of using ereaders with E Ink screens I finally broke one today. I’ve had batteries die and the power button stopped working on my Kobo Glo, but this is the first time I’ve actually broken one of my ebook readers to the point where it is no longer usable. […]
Amazon Changing Page View on Kindles to Look Like Kindle Apps
Last week I posted about the new spacing settings that were added to Kindles after the latest software update, and it looks like there were some other changes hidden in the software update as well.

Are Kindle eReaders Less Appealing Now Than Ever?
As someone who has been following the dedicated ereader market for the past 16 years, it seems like Kindles, to some extent, have lost their shine over the past few years. There has always been an anti-Amazon crowd, and there has always been plenty of Kindle detractors out there, but it just seems like Kindles […]
New Kindle Software Update 5.18.3 Now Available to Download
Amazon has started rolling out another round of software updates for Kindle ereaders and the Kindle Scribe, but this time the update is only available for certain models. Amazon usually updates all recent models at the same time, but they haven’t been doing that lately. So far this latest 5.18.3 update is limited to 11th […]
Some Good and Not So Good Kindle Deals at Woot
If you’re looking to score a Kindle for cheap, Woot is having another Amazon Devices sales event for their 21st anniversary. In typical Woot fashion, most of the Kindle deals were already sold out after like 5 minutes, but there are still a few deals to be had. They’re practically giving away some of the […]
