Every week I post a roundup of 10 free Kindle ebooks to start off the week. I used to post lists for free Kobo and Nook ebooks too but not enough people cared so I stopped doing them. Plus Kobo and B&N don’t keep a list that’s updated hourly with the most popular free ebooks […]

A couple of months ago I posted about how things have become oddly quiet with Kobo. You rarely hear any news coming from them anymore, nothing about new products or new features. They haven’t even updated the software for Kobo ereaders in over seven months (they used to issue updates about every month or two). […]
