I’ve seen a few reports online about Kobo adding some new sorting options to the ebook wishlist on their website (and reading apps). I’ve never used Kobo’s wishlist feature so this is something I would’ve never noticed, but apparently this was a much-needed change. For one, some folks like how the new sorting options make […]
Where to Buy Kobo eReaders in the US
Every few years I write a rant about how Kobo makes it needlessly difficult to buy Kobo ereaders in the US.

Kindles Have New Spacing Settings After Last Update (Video)
I’ve been following Kindles since 2009 when I first started this website, and for as long as I can remember Kindles have always had the same three line spacing settings, with no option to adjust character spacing, word spacing, or paragraph spacing. That is no longer the case. With the latest 5.18.3 software update, Kindles […]
