A couple weeks ago Onyx revealed their first eNote with a 13.3-inch color E Ink screen called the Tab X C. They’ve started shipping initial orders, and it’s now available to purchase directly from Onyx’s official Amazon store. The price is pretty steep at $819 in the US. That’s almost $200 more expensive than the […]
Why Can’t Amazon or Kobo Make an eReader Like This?
I came across an interesting-looking no-name ereader that was recently listed on Amazon. It has some unique characteristics, and it’s cheap, but does anybody have any interest in buying it? Probably not. While it doesn’t have a name, it has a model number: E603. You can find listings for the product on websites in China. […]
Is Kobo Planning to Stop Selling eReaders in the US?
Either Kobo is in the process of downsizing (or possibly phasing out) their US distribution or they’re incompetent. I’m not sure which, but the fact of the matter is Kobo’s ereaders are constantly out of stock in the US or priced above the MSRP, while they’re readily available in other parts of the world. You […]
Amazon Closing Android Loophole That Allows Backing Up Kindle eBooks
I saw a post on MobileRead about how Amazon is sending out emails in regards to using older versions of the Kindle for Android app to download purchased Kindle ebooks. Basically, Amazon is going to stop allowing downloads using older versions of their Kindle for Android app starting on May 26th, 2025, so people who […]
Mother’s Day Sale on Kindles and Kindle Bundles – Full List
If you’re looking for a Mother’s Day gift or if you just want to buy a Kindle at a discount, Amazon has a bunch of Kindles on sale right now. At first glance, you might think that the basic Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite are being left out of this sale (again), but their bundle packages […]
Anyone Want a Kindle Paperwhite with Stylus Support?
Amazon missed a big opportunity with the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. Instead of just adding a couple of extra fairly useless features like the light sensor and wireless charging, they should have added stylus support. The Kindle Scribe is the only Kindle that supports using a stylus, but the simple fact of the matter is […]
The Kobo Elipsa Was a Flop and People Still Aren’t Buying It
Over the past few years, just about every ereader company has jumped on the eNote bandwagon after seeing how successful the Remarkable Paper Tablet was, but it appears that few people are interested in buying Kobo’s eNotes, especially their first gen model. The Kobo Elipsa was released in June of 2021, and then Kobo released […]
Dead Kindle Designs – Favorite Models That Are Gone for Good
One thing that’s interesting about Kindles is how some people prefer using older models over newer ones. Part of the problem is Amazon’s habit of changing the designs of Kindles that people liked in the past. Now it’s gotten to the point where Amazon just basically keeps re-releasing the same Kindles over and over again. […]
