Last month Onyx announced the upcoming release of a new 13.3″ model called the Boox Note Max. It still hasn’t officially been released yet, but it’s getting closer. The Note Max is now available to order from Onyx’s Amazon store for $649, and it’s expected to start shipping later this month. It always surprises me […]
Why Aren’t White eReaders More Common?
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.

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.

I guess I didn’t know that Kobo’s devices supported Bluetooth […]
Gallery 3 Screens Look Surprisingly Bad Compared to Carta Screens
Over on reddit, someone posted side-by-side pictures of the new Remarkable Paper Pro (left) next to the Boox Go 10.3 with a Carta 1200 screen (middle) and the SuperNote A5X2 with Carta 1300 (right), and it’s hard to believe how much worse the Remarkable’s color screen looks compared to regular black and white E Ink […]

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 […]
