I’ve been using the Kobo Aura One for a few days now so I thought I’d post some thoughts and first impressions about it. First off, the 7.8-inch 300 ppi E Ink screen is absolutely fantastic. Kudos to Kobo for taking a chance on a larger ereader. If Amazon doesn’t follow suit and release an […]
New Upgraded Fire HD 8 Released for $89
Today Amazon released a new updated version of the Fire HD 8 tablet. It comes with a number of improvements and a much lower starting price, so it’s a win win. I knew something was going on with the Fire HD 8 last month when all the various colors and model variations suddenly and mysteriously […]
Kindle Oasis Finally In Stock, Still Has Lots of Negative Reviews
The Kindle Oasis was officially announced on April 13th, 2016. That’s when it first became available to pre-order. The actual release date was April 27th, but ever since then Amazon has had most of the Kindle Oasis variations on backorder.

No Kobo eReaders in the U.S. is Still a Huge Problem
Kobo has two new ebook readers that officially get released this week, the Kobo Aura One and the Kobo Aura Edition 2, and it’s a shame that Kobo still doesn’t have a single retailer in the United States where potential customers can go to see Kobo’s ereaders in person before buying. Last year I posted […]
How Would You Change Kindle Cloud Collections?
Kindle ereaders, Kindle apps and Fire tablets all have the option to organize your ebooks and personal documents using Kindle Cloud Collections. Amazon first introduced cloud collections back in fall 2013, and they haven’t really improved the way organizing content on Kindles works since then. Some people don’t care for the way Kindle collections work. […]
Built-in OverDrive Support Exclusive to Kobo Aura One?
When Kobo’s parent company, Rakuten, purchased OverDrive last year it seemed like an obvious move for them to add OverDrive support directly to Kobo ereaders like Sony used to have on their ebook readers before they quit making them.
