It finally happened. After sixteen years of using ereaders with E Ink screens I finally broke one today. I’ve had batteries die and the power button stopped working on my Kobo Glo, but this is the first time I’ve actually broken one of my ebook readers to the point where it is no longer usable. […]
Onyx Now Giving Away Free Covers With Some Amazon Purchases
Onyx recently started selling bundle packages for some of their devices on Amazon that includes a case, and the interesting thing is the bundle packages are the exact same price as buying the devices individually by themselves. You can get a Boox Go 10.3 with a case for $409.99. The case normally sells for $50.99 […]
Boox Go 7 BW vs Boox Go Color 7 Comparison (Video)
Last week I posted a review of the Boox Go 7 BW, and since Onyx also sells a version with a color E Ink screen, I wanted to post a quick comparison between the two. There are two generations of the Boox Go Color 7, but the BW version was only released as the second […]

Amazon Changing Page View on Kindles to Look Like Kindle Apps
Last week I posted about the new spacing settings that were added to Kindles after the latest software update, and it looks like there were some other changes hidden in the software update as well. I’ve been seeing a bunch of posts online about a new layout change that appears while reading when you open […]
Kobo Has Added New Sorting Options to eBook Wishlist
I’ve seen a few reports online about Kobo adding some new sorting options to the ebook wishlist on their website (and reading apps). I’ve never used Kobo’s wishlist feature so this is something I would’ve never noticed, but apparently this was a much-needed change. For one, some folks like how the new sorting options make […]
Where to Buy Kobo eReaders in the US
Every few years I write a rant about how Kobo makes it needlessly difficult to buy Kobo ereaders in the US. Things will get better for a while, but time and again Kobo’s retail partnerships fall through, and would-be customers are left with few options. Kobo’s distribution problems actually make some level of sense when […]
Kindle Paperwhite vs Boox Go 7 BW Comparison Review (Video)
The latest Kindle Paperwhite from 2024 and the new Boox Go 7 BW both use the same 7″ E Ink Carta 1300 screen with 300 ppi, so comparing the two is inevitable, but there are a lot of differences between the two brands. Kindles are designed to do one thing really well, but they aren’t […]
