Amazon’s website has gone haywire again. It seems to think it’s 2009 because the Kindle DX has suddenly resurfaced in Amazon’s search results, and it’s even available to order again for $489. Yeah, right. The listing says it’s “Temporarily out of stock,” but you can place an order and Amazon will “deliver it when available”. […]
My Kindle Voyage Broke Today – Avoid Doing What I Did
It finally happened. After sixteen years of using ereaders with E Ink screens I finally broke one today. I’ve had batteries die and the power button stopped working on my Kobo Glo, but this is the first time I’ve actually broken one of my ebook readers to the point where it is no longer usable. […]
Onyx Now Giving Away Free Covers With Some Amazon Purchases
Onyx recently started selling bundle packages for some of their devices on Amazon that includes a case, and the interesting thing is the bundle packages are the exact same price as buying the devices individually by themselves. You can get a Boox Go 10.3 with a case for $409.99. The case normally sells for $50.99 […]
Boox Go 7 BW vs Boox Go Color 7 Comparison (Video)

Amazon Changing Page View on Kindles to Look Like Kindle Apps
Last week I posted about the new spacing settings that were added to Kindles after the latest software update, and it looks like there were some other changes hidden in the software update as well. I’ve been seeing a bunch of posts online about a new layout change that appears while reading when you open […]
Kobo Has Added New Sorting Options to eBook Wishlist
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. Things will get better for a while, but time and again Kobo’s retail partnerships fall through, and would-be customers are left with few options. Kobo’s distribution problems actually make some level of sense when […]
