A few days ago I posted a review of the Kindle Paperwhite 2. When doing the video review I forgot to discuss comics so afterward I put together a quick video showing how Kindle Panel View works for comic books and graphic novels on the Kindle Paperwhite 2. Kindle Panel View has been around since […]

Kindle Paperwhite 2 Review
Review Date: October 2013 – Review unit purchased from Amazon.com Kindle Paperwhite 2 Review Like with my recent review of the Kobo Aura, I’ve decided not to do a super-long detailed review for the 2nd gen Kindle Paperwhite because it’s 90% the same as the original Kindle Paperwhite from last year. I’ll cover the new […]
Review: Noreve Leather Cover for Nexus 7 2
I’ve posted a couple of reviews of covers for the Nexus 7 2 over the past couple of months. The first review was for the official Asus travel cover, and I didn’t like it very much at all. Things got better with the Snugg cover that I reviewed last month; it proved to be a […]
Kobo Aura Sleepcover Review
A few days ago I posted a review of the Kobo Aura. It’s the seventh Kobo ereader that I’ve reviewed over the past three and a half years, and it occurred to me that not once have I ever reviewed a Kobo cover. So this time around when ordering the Kobo Aura I decided to […]

Kindle Paperwhite 2 Has Much Improved Frontlight, But Difference with Carta Screen is Marginal
My Kindle Paperwhite 2 arrived yesterday so I’ve had a few hours to analyze the new screen and frontlight. The first thing that jumps out about the new Paperwhite is that from the outside it is pretty much an exact replica of last year’s Paperwhite. The only noticeable difference is the new one says “Amazon” […]
Kobo Aura’s Screen Has Visible Pattern, and is Darker than Aura HD
The Kobo Aura is the latest 6-inch ebook reader from Kobo. It has a really cool edge-to-edge screen that isn’t recessed in the front frame like other ebook readers. This gives it a sleek tablet-like look. It’s also the first Kobo ereader to use a capacitive touchscreen, which adds some extra zooming options and other […]
Snugg Cover Review for Nexus 7 2
Last month I posted a review of the official Asus travel cover for the Google Nexus 7 2. Because of its cheap, flimsy design I didn’t like it very much, and now it just sits on a shelf gathering dust. As I set out to find a better cover, the folks at TheSnugg.com offered to […]
