Amazon has released another software update for all Kindles dating back to the Kindle Paperwhite 3 from 2015 (also called the 7th generation Kindle Paperwhite). The new software version is 5.15.1, and it appears to be a relatively minor update overall, except it does add the ability to show thumbnail covers for personal documents that […]
10 Free Kindle eBooks – September 26
It’s time for another list of 10 free highly-rated Kindle ebooks to start off the week. I usually post Kindle deals along with the list of free Kindle ebooks, but there isn’t much for Kindle-related sales lately, unless you live in the UK where all Kindles are currently on sale, except the new model. Please […]
Comparing New Basic Kindle with New Fire HD8 Tablet
Over the past couple weeks Amazon has released a new 6-inch Kindle ereader and a new 8-inch Fire HD8 tablet, and oddly enough they both sell for $99. When you start comparing the features, it’s hard to believe they sell for the same price because the Fire HD8 tablet has a lot more going for […]

New Kobo Software Update 4.34 Released
Kobo has released another software update for their line of Kobo ereaders, and it’s available for all models dating back to the original Kobo Touch (except, as always, the neglected Kobo Mini). I thought it would just be a minor update with the new Kobo Clara 2E getting released this week, but it’s a regular […]
Is the Kindle Oasis Going to Be Discontinued Soon?
Last week Amazon announced the upcoming release of a new basic Kindle on October 12th, and some people are still eagerly awaiting an announcement about a new upgraded Kindle Oasis or other premium Kindle. At this point I would say that is very unlikely to happen, and it’s looking more likely that the Kindle Oasis […]
Kindle Paperwhite Now Available with 16GB of Storage – Don’t Fall For It
With the release of the new basic Kindle for 2022, Amazon has added the option to get a standard Kindle Paperwhite with 16GB of storage, and it’s available with or without ads. The new basic Kindle comes with 16GB of storage space and it sells for only $99, so it seems rather silly for Amazon […]
Differences Between New Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite
Now that Amazon has started taking orders for a new base Kindle, there’s some confusion about how it compares to the current Kindle Paperwhite that Amazon released last year, so here’s a list of the differences between the two models. Amazon refers to both Kindles as 11th generation models. The Kindle Paperwhite was released in […]
