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.

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. […]
Kindle Paperwhite Finally Released in India
Amazon just launched the Kindle Paperwhite in India, which is interesting considering Amazon had stopped selling Kindles in India a while ago for some reason.

Amazon Blocking eBook Downloads for Backup on Kindle for PC Now
Amazon’s ongoing battle against letting people download and backup purchased Kindle ebooks has taken another step in the wrong direction. There are discussions on MobileRead about how newer Kindle ebooks published after April 22nd, 2025 cannot be downloaded using the Kindle for PC 2.4.0 method, thus making it harder to create backups and convert purchased […]

Yesterday Onyx let the cat out of the bag about a couple new 7″ ereaders that are getting released soon, the Go Color 7 (Gen II) with a color E Ink screen and the Go 7 with a black and white Carta 1300 screen. It’s only been 10 months since Onyx released the 1st gen […]
Kindle Software Update 5.18.2 Released
Amazon has released another software update for Kindles. It’s only been a month since the last update, and since it usually takes a few weeks for Kindles to update automatically, don’t be surprised if you find your Kindle updating once again. This appears to be a fairly minor update, according to the release notes, but […]
