Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite Need Larger User Interface Settings
One thing that’s weird about Kindles is the fact that different models have different settings when it comes to displaying the size of user interface icons and text.

Kindle Trade-In Time – Planning for Prime Day 2024
Prime Day is coming up in July, and it’s the best time of year to buy Kindles at the lowest prices, and you can also trade-in an old Kindle to get an even better deal. If you have an old Kindle that you don’t use anymore, now is a good time to start thinking about […]

Amazon released the current Kindle Paperwhite model in October of 2021, so it’ll be turning 3 years old in a few months, and Amazon usually comes out with a new version every 3 years.

So far there aren’t any details about how the person accomplished this feat, but they say everything works, except the display keeps […]

Kindle Apps Now Have Assistive Reader Feature (Text to Speech)
Over the past couple months I’ve seen a number of reports of people saying the Kindle apps for Android and iOS now support text-to-speech through a new “Assistive Reader” feature that Amazon has quietly added without saying anything about it. In fact, someone left a comment here two months ago about the new Assistive Reader […]
