I’ve seen a few reports online about Kobo adding some new sorting options to the ebook wishlist on their website (and reading apps).

New Kobo eReaders Listed on FCC, But Don’t Get Your Hopes Up
I’ve been keeping an eye on this Netronix page for new FCC listings for Kobo devices, and a couple of new entries turned up this week. Unfortunately, it looks like both listings aren’t really new models at all. They have the same model numbers as previous Kobos, the Kobo Clara BW and Kobo Clara Colour. […]
Kindles Have New Spacing Settings After Last Update (Video)
I’ve been following Kindles since 2009 when I first started this website, and for as long as I can remember Kindles have always had the same three line spacing settings, with no option to adjust character spacing, word spacing, or paragraph spacing.

Solar Powered E Ink Displays are Now a Reality
E Ink and their partners recently demoed some new products at this year’s SID Display Week, including a new 32″ solar powered E Ink poster called the Solis 32 Display. It uses E Ink’s full-color Spectra 6 technology, which is part of their digital signage line so it isn’t directly related to ereaders, but it’s […]
New Musnap Aura C has 10.3″ Color E Ink Screen, Runs Android
I came across a new eNote on Amazon that I’ve never heard of before, and a quick Google search suggests that pretty much nobody else has heard of it yet either. The Musnap Aura C Paper Tablet appears to be a new eNote out of China with a 10.3″ color E Ink screen (Kaleido 3) […]
New Bigme HiBreak Pro E Ink Phone with Android 14 Now on Amazon
The Bigme HiBreak Pro is a new Android-powered E Ink phone that’s been available to order from Bigme’s website for the past couple months, and now it’s available to order on Amazon as well. Bigme released two E Ink phones last year, one with a regular black and white screen and one with a color […]
