Kindle ereaders haven’t supported text-to-speech for five years, not since the original Kindle Touch from four generations back, but the question still comes up all the time.

Screen Protectors and E Ink eReaders a Bad Mix
It’s surprising to me how many screen protectors there are available for E Ink ereaders, Kindles especially.

In February Amazon is expected to release an update for their Kindle for PC program that could make removing DRM from Kindle ebooks problematic. When Amazon came out with their new enhanced typesetting engine in 2015, they started to change the Kindle ebook format from AZW to KFX to accommodate the added features. Since then […]
Amazon Should Release a Kindle eBook Reader Projector Device
Today I had a crazy idea. Imagine if you had an ebook reader with a built-in projector capable of displaying ebooks, magazines, and newspapers in a much larger scale. You could set it up to display a giant 4 foot page on the side of a wall. It could be beneficial for people with vision […]
