Why is the Base Kindle Always on Backorder?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: There’s something weird going on with the entry-level Kindle.

They don’t seem to […]
How to Add Wireless Charging to Kindle eReaders
I saw a post on Reddit the other day about how someone added wireless charging to their Kindle Paperwhite and I thought it was a pretty interesting workaround.

The P10 is an unusual device because it has a different screen than all the other 10-inch ereaders on the market. Most have 10.3-inch E Ink screens with 227ppi, but the […]
