When it comes to dedicated reading devices, black is by far and away the most common color. In fact, probably close to 80% of ereaders are black, and most are only available in that color. There are a few exceptions, like the matcha green Kindle, but even the different colored Paperwhites have a black front […]
Amazon Erroneously Locking Accounts, Making Kindle eBooks Inaccessible
Amazon is giving customers yet another reason not to trust them with ebook purchases. Over the past couple days, social media and reddit is littered with reports of people getting locked out of their Amazon accounts, and consequently being unable to access their purchased ebooks on Kindles and Kindle apps because they get locked out […]
The Kindle Oasis 3 is Now Back In Stock for Some Reason
I noticed this morning that Amazon is selling the Kindle Oasis 3 again. It’s in new condition too, not refurbished like you might expect at this point, and they have the 8GB version and the 32GB version in stock. It was around this time last year when Amazon started phasing out the Kindle Oasis, and […]
Kobo eReaders Support Remote Page Turners Like the 8BitDo Micro
Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of people posting about using an 8BitDo Micro as a remote page turner with Kobo devices, and apparently it’s super easy to setup using the 8BitDo Ultimate Software app and it doesn’t require altering the Kobo software at all.

Kindle Unlimited Deal is Back – 3 Months for $0.99
Amazon is currently offering 3 months of Kindle Unlimited for $0.99 again like they did a few weeks ago for Black Friday. They’re advertising the deal on their homepage so I took a screenshot to prove the deal is real. However, these types of offers are notorious for only being available under certain circumstances. First […]
Kindle Bugs List: Common Software Issues and How to Fix Them
Earlier this year a number of software problems starting cropping up on Kindles after Amazon released certain software updates. Most of these issues seem to be fixed now to some extent, but others have been ongoing for several years. For the most part Kindles don’t have a lot of software problems, in part because the […]
