The 7.8-inch screen on the Kobo Aura One makes it better suited for larger-form content like comics and manga than the more common 6-inch ereaders. The 7.8-inch 300 ppi E Ink screen does indeed look great for text and graphics when it comes to comics and manga. Text is sharp and easy to read and […]

Updated Kindle Paperwhite 3 Video Review for 2016
It’s been a little over a year since Amazon first released the Kindle Paperwhite 3. I was looking back at my review of the Kindle Paperwhite 3 and it’s pretty outdated so I decided to put together a new updated video review for 2016. Amazon changed a number of things this past year with the […]
Review: Amazon Capacitive Stylus for Kindles and Tablets
If you saw my last video review of the new entry-level Kindle for 2016 you probably noticed that I was using a stylus to interact with the touchscreen for most of the review. I don’t know why I didn’t think of using a stylus sooner; it helps not having my hand blocking the view of […]

New Kindle Page Flip Feature Review (Video)
Earlier this week Amazon announced a new Page Flip feature for Kindle ereaders, Fire tablets, and the Kindle reading apps for iOS and Android. I put together a quick video showing how the Page Flip feature works on a Kindle and the Kindle for Android app. The feature works a bit differently on each. The […]
Kindle Audio Adapter Review, Text to Speech and VoiceView (Video)
Earlier this month Amazon brought text-to-speech back to Kindle ereaders by releasing a new Kindle Audio Adapter. At least that’s what many of us thought at first. More accurately, Amazon has brought accessibly features to Kindle ereaders in the form of VoiceView; text-to-speech just happens to be a by-product of this feature. Unlike Fire tablets, […]
