Looking back at 2023, it was one of the worst years in the past decade for new dedicated reading devices. Very few new devices were released this year, and most new models that did come out were just basically re-releases of existing models with a few minor changes. Amazon didn’t release a single new Kindle […]
List View or Cover View, Which Do You Prefer?
Pretty much all ebook readers have the option to display your library of ebooks in list view or cover view, and I was wondering which view do most people prefer? Some brands do things differently than others, and some offer more layout settings. With Kindles and Kobos you only have the two options. With PocketBooks […]
Kindle Oasis No Longer Available to Purchase in the US
Last month I posted about how it looks like Amazon is starting to phase out the Kindle Oasis, as some of the sub-models started to become unavailable, and now it’s gotten to the point where none of the Oasis models are available to purchase in the US. That’s right. The Kindle Oasis is no longer […]

This isn’t new but I doubt most people know about it, and it’s not […]

Amazon has the Kindle Paperwhite and the Kindle Scribe marked down, but not the entry-level Kindle or the Kindle Oasis, and the prices aren’t as low as they were […]
Kindles Can Now Borrow Library eBooks Using Updated Web Browser
Last month Amazon quietly updated the web browser on 10th and 11th generation Kindles, along with the Kindle Scribe, and now the web browser is a lot more functional than it used to be, and you can even use it to borrow ebooks from public libraries now. I just used my Kindle Paperwhite to borrow […]
It’s Normal for Kindle Batteries Not to Charge to 100%
One question I see come up fairly often is people asking why their Kindle stops charging before the battery meter hits 100%.
