Last week I posted about how Onyx keeps re-releasing the same devices over and over again, and it’s kind of the same story with Kobo. It’s been a long time since they put any real effort into designing a new model, and whenever they do come out with something new they usually abandon it after […]

New Page Turner for Kobo eReaders is Half the Price of Kobo’s Remote
There’s a company on Amazon that’s selling a new Bluetooth Remote Page Turner that’s marketed specifically for Kobo eReaders, and it’s selling for half the price of Kobo’s official remote. The list price is currently $15.99, but there’s a coupon that takes the price down to $14.39. Kobo sells their official Kobo Remote for $33.99 […]

Kobo eReaders Now $20-$30 More Expensive After Price Hike
Kobo has raised the prices of their ereaders again for the second time since they were released in 2024. At first I thought it was just BlueProton, Kobo’s US distributor, charging above retail yet again, but now even Kobo US has suddenly raised the prices on their Amazon store. Midway through writing this article, the […]
Why Does Kobo Still Refuse to Release a 7″ Libra BW?
With Pocketbook releasing the new Era Lite with a 7″ black-and-white E Ink Carta 1300 screen, I can’t help but notice it’s exactly what Kobo customers have been asking Kobo to release for the past 2 years. It highlights the fact that Kobo still isn’t listening to what their customers want by refusing to release […]
