Occasionally I used to post a list of trade-in values for all Kindles (the last time was August 2021), but then Amazon changed the format of their trade-in page so now you can only view the trade-in values of Kindles registered to your account. The oldest Kindle registered to my account is the Kindle Voyage, […]
Mini Kindle Scribe Instead of New Kindle Oasis?
Ever since Amazon announced the Kindle Scribe last September, a surprising number of people have voiced their disappointment in Amazon for not releasing a new Kindle Oasis. Some people like the larger notebook format of the Kindle Scribe, and others want something smaller with page-turn buttons. The Kindle Oasis is the last remaining Kindle that […]
$40 off 10.3″ Onyx Boox Tab Ultra
This is a bit unusual. Onyx has the 10.3-inch Boox Tab Ultra on sale at Amazon for $559 with free shipping. That’s $40 off the regular price and it’s the first and only time I’ve seen the Tab Ultra on sale since it was released last November. Onyx occasionally runs sales on their website but […]
Mandatory Software Update for Kobo eReaders
Kobo has started sending out emails to customers notifying them about a “mandatory software update” for older Kobo ereaders (the full list is at the bottom of this article), including the Kobo Clara HD, which they were still selling as recently as last year.

The seller is listed as BlueProton, not Walmart, but BlueProton has been selling Kobo ereaders for several years now and is listed as an official […]
Tips for Converting Documents to Kindle Format, Kind of…
Amazon has this help article on their website with some tips for converting personal documents to a Kindle Format, and there are some things listed there that I haven’t seen mentioned before, like the Kindle Scribe being unable to add handwritten annotations to documents with things like tables and mathematical equations. That last part is […]
Differences Between Kobo Elipsa 2E and Kobo Elipsa Pack
Over on the ereader section of Kobo’s website, they have the new Kobo Elipsa 2E and the older Kobo Elipsa Pack listed side-by-side, and both are the same price at $399.99. I can see this being confusing for potential buyers that don’t follow Kobo’s every move and know the differences between the two versions. It’s […]
