Kobo has released another software update for their lineup of ebook readers. All models are included in the update, except the poor ole Kobo Mini which seems to have been banished for reasons unknown. The new software version is 4.19.14123. According to Kobo’s changelog, they’ve made some changes to the settings for headers and footers, […]

Kobo has put the 6-inch Kobo Clara HD on sale again for $99, the same sale they had over Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend.

Kobo Celebrating 10th Birthday – Interactive Timeline
Kobo is celebrating their 10th birthday this month. Before they were Kobo they were Shortcovers so they’ve been around longer than that, but they rebranded the company to Kobo in December 2009.

Why is the New Kindle Kids Edition So Disliked?
Amazon’s latest attempt at a Kids Kindle looks like it’s going to be another bomb just like the previous two attempts. The weird thing about it is it’s the exact same Kindle as the entry-level model.

$50 Walmart eBook Gift Card for Kobo eBooks On Sale for $40

Amazon has put the Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite on sale again for the holiday shopping season. The prices aren’t quite as low as their Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, but you can still get up to $35 off the regular price. The new Kids Kindle is on sale too, and the 32GB Kindle Oasis […]
Kobo Forma Marked Down to $235 on Amazon
