QVC is currently running some Black Friday sales in July for some reason (along with Christmas sales), and they have both the Kindle Colorsoft and the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition on sale for cheap. The Kindle Colorsoft is marked down to $159.98 from $249.99, and the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is on sale for $144.98, […]
Kobo eReaders Are Way Overdue for a Design Update
Last week I posted about how Onyx keeps re-releasing the same devices over and over again, and it’s kind of the same story with Kobo. It’s been a long time since they put any real effort into designing a new model, and whenever they do come out with something new they usually abandon it after […]
Boox Devices Have Become Too Derivative and Uninteresting
I don’t know what’s going on with Onyx lately, but their current lineup of Boox devices has become really stale and boring. They just keep re-releasing the exact same products over and over and over again with minor changes. They haven’t come up with any new ideas since the original Palma came out in 2023. […]
Pocketbook’s Included Font Types Suck – Here’s One That Looks Better
The Pocketbook Era Lite that I ordered from Amazon arrived yesterday, and I’ve been trying to get things setup how I like, and so far I’m pretty impressed with the device (the screen looks nice and clear), but there’s one thing that’s simply unacceptable for an E Ink device. The included font types are terrible. […]
Is Amazon Going to Release Any New Kindles in 2026?
People are starting to wonder if Amazon has any new Kindles coming out later in the year, but I don’t think the odds are very high since there’s really only one model that could get replaced in 2026.

Is the Xteink X4 Going to be Discontinued Soon?
The Xteink X4 running CrossPoint has quickly become my new favorite ereader (I’d been waiting for a small, pocketable, basic ebook reader for years and Xteink finally delivered), but I’m concerned that it might get discontinued soon. Xteink is expected to release a new model later this month, the X4 Pro with a touchscreen and […]
Limited Edition Harry Potter Cases for Kindle Paperwhite and Colorsoft
Amazon is now selling limited-edition Harry Potter cases for the 12th generation Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Colorsoft. The Harry Potter covers are available in four different designs and colors, one for each of the four Hogwarts houses—Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw (I forgot the Hufflepuff mascot was a badger—it’s the meanest looking one of the […]
New Page Turner for Kobo eReaders is Half the Price of Kobo’s Remote
There’s a company on Amazon that’s selling a new Bluetooth Remote Page Turner that’s marketed specifically for Kobo eReaders, and it’s selling for half the price of Kobo’s official remote. The list price is currently $15.99, but there’s a coupon that takes the price down to $14.39. Kobo sells their official Kobo Remote for $33.99 […]
