A couple weeks ago I posted about how Amazon had started intentionally hiding the original Kindle Colorsoft on the Amazon US website after they released the new cheaper 16GB Colorsoft. Amazon removed the listing for the Signature Edition Colorsoft from their search results, making it impossible to find when running searches on Amazon’s website, but […]
New Veidoo 8.2″ eNote Looks Interesting, But There are Red Flags
A couple new Veidoo ereaders/eNotes have turned up for sale on Amazon, and the prices seem pretty reasonable, but it looks like there might be a good reason for that. There’s a Veidoo 10.3″ eNote for $268.99, but it’s temporarily unavailable, so we’ll focus on this Veidoo 8.2″ model for now, which is currently available […]
More Companies Should Copy the Boox Palma’s Pocketable Design
When Onyx first released the Boox Palma in 2023, I thought we’d finally start seeing more pocketable ereaders hitting the market, especially considering the fact the Boox Palma appears to be one of Onyx’s most popular models over the past two years. In fact, it just might be their best selling model in terms of […]
Is it Better to Keep Kindles Offline or Online Now?

Some people prefer to keep their Kindles disconnected from the internet most of the time for a number of reasons, […]
B&N Rep Says New Nook Devices are Coming Out in 2026

Literally no details were given beyond that. We don’t even know for sure if she was talking about E Ink Nooks […]
New Features Added With Last Kindle Update Have Disappeared
Last week I posted about a new software update that Amazon released for Kindle ereaders, version 5.18.4. It added some new accessibility features and a new page view that looks similar to Kindle apps, but now all of the changes have disappeared on my updated Kindles. The day after I installed the update on my […]
Amazon is Trying to Hide the Original Kindle Colorsoft Now
Last week Amazon released a new 16GB version of the Kindle Colorsoft, along with a kids bundle. They’re exactly the same as the original Kindle Colorsoft that Amazon released last fall, minus the Signature Edition upgrades, and the original is still available to purchase, but now Amazon is making it very difficult to find it […]
New Assistive Reader Feature on Kindles Has Problems
Yesterday Amazon released a software update for Kindles that adds some new accessibility features, including text-to-speech like Kindles used to have a long time ago. I tried testing out the new text-to-speech feature (Amazon calls it Assistive Reader) on my 12th gen Kindle Paperwhite, but I encountered some problems. I was going to upload a […]
