One thing that I’ve come to realize over the years is that I much prefer using an ebook reader without a cover on than using one with a cover. It doesn’t matter if it’s a Kindle, a Kobo, an Onyx ereader or something else. I don’t like how covers add unnecessary bulk and extra weight, […]

Kindle Paperwhite 5 vs Kindle Oasis Comparison Review (Video)
Here’s a quick comparison review between the new 6.8-inch Kindle Paperwhite for 2021 versus the 7-inch Kindle Oasis that was released in 2019.

Kindle on Sale for $49 – New Low Price
Amazon has the entry-level Kindle on sale again, and this time the price is lower than usual. In fact I’m pretty sure this is a new low price for this particular model, at least from Amazon (I think it might have sold for this price from Woot recently). During the sale you can get a […]
