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. That is no longer the case. With the latest 5.18.3 software update, Kindles […]
Kobo Released Revised Kobo Clara BW Made By Different OEM
At some point earlier this year Kobo started selling a new revised version of the Kobo Clara BW and they didn’t bother to announce it or even update their website with the new details. Someone on reddit noticed a new listing for a second Kobo Clara BW with a different model number on the iFixit […]

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 […]
NetGalley Adds Send to Kobo Button to Deliver Books to Kobos
Earlier this year NetGalley switched their ebooks over to a new type of DRM (LCP) that isn’t compatible with Kobo ereaders, and some folks that use NetGalley were disappointed they could no longer use Kobo ereaders to read NetGalley ebooks. Fortunately the two companies worked together to provide a solution, and that solution is now […]
