If you’re looking to get a new Kindle for cheap, Best Buy currently has the 2022 Kindle on sale for $79.99 with free shipping. It’s the older model, but it’s still the same generation as the current Kindle, which, frankly, doesn’t make a lick of sense, but they only changed a few details on the […]
Is Amazon Trying to Lock Down Kindles, Or is Something Else at Play?
There’s a certain segment of folks that think Amazon is on a crusade to lock down Kindles and remove all features that are related to non-Amazon books, and make it so all purchased Kindle ebooks are forever tied to Amazon until death, at which time they’re supposed to disappear into the unknown with their license […]

Kindle Colorsoft’s Sales Numbers Hit a New Low
Ever since Amazon starting put the estimated “x number bought in past month” metric at the top of most product pages on their website, I find it interesting to use those numbers to see how well Kindles are selling. Right now it’s not looking good for the Kindle Colorsoft. After it was released it had […]
Are People Really Dumb Enough to Buy This?
I was browsing Amazon today and came across this listing for the Kobo Nia, and it’s selling for an absurd $389.68 from Triplenet Pricing, a reseller that’s been around for years and currently has over 70,000 items listed on Amazon, so they’re not just some new scammer listing. You see this kind of thing on […]
