Amazon added a Storage Management feature to Kindles quite awhile ago, and it still seems like one of the lesser-known features that most people don’t know about. If it gets to the point where you’re Kindle is starting to run low on storage space, there are a couple of ways to free up additional storage […]

Why Does the Web Browser Still Suck on Kindles?
One of the strange things about Kindles is Amazon has always referred to the web browser as “experimental”. In fact the Kindle’s web browser has been experimental for over 10 years now. At this point it’s safe to assume it’s never going to move past the experimental stage, but why don’t they ever improve it? […]

It’s nice to be able to […]
Why Don’t Kindles Support ePub Format?
One of the biggest complaints I hear about Kindles year after year is the fact that they don’t support ePub format. Kindles are never going to support Adobe DRM for ePub ebooks (frankly it’s time for Adobe to get booted to the curb anyway), but Amazon could easily add support for DRM-free ePub files if […]
Do You Like the Warm Frontlight on New Kindle Oasis?
When Amazon released the 3rd generation Kindle Oasis in July 2019, it was the first Kindle to get the option to use a warm or cool frontlight. Kobo started the warm frontlight feature with the release of the Kobo Aura One in 2016. Since then just about every new ebook reader released has a frontlight […]
