With Mother’s Day coming up tomorrow, now is a good time for a reminder about Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited gift subscriptions that are available for 20-40% off the regular monthly price. This isn’t a new deal but Amazon doesn’t advertise it and it’s nearly impossible to find. In fact if I didn’t have the page bookmarked […]
Kindle Paperwhite Still #1 By Far
The Kindle Paperwhite has been the most popular Kindle for a long time, and the current version is no exception. In fact the Kindle Paperwhite 4 is probably the most popular Kindle model of all time in terms of gross sales, except we’ll never know that for sure since Amazon never releases any Kindle sales […]
Workaround for Dark Mode on Older Kindles
I came across a post on reddit the other day that outlines a workaround to use dark mode—white text with a black background—on older Kindles that lack the official dark mode feature. In fact this would work on any E Ink ebook reader, not just Kindles, and it’s so easy to do I’m surprised more […]

Kindle Prices Vary Widely by Country
I’ve been paying more attention to Kindle prices lately now that Amazon has started rolling out the new book cover feature on Kindle e-readers, and it’s surprising how much prices vary from one country to the next, especially when it comes to the Kindle Paperwhite. In most countries Amazon doesn’t sell ad-supported Kindles so in […]
Kindle Book Cover Feature Could Take “Weeks” to Appear
Ever since Amazon started rolling out a new feature that gives users the option to display book covers on Kindle lockscreens instead of random images, many people have been waiting for the option to appear on their Kindles without success. At first only people in India and Mexico were getting the new book cover option, […]
