Barnes and Noble has a new Nook available to pre-order on their website, and it’s expected to get released on November 20th, but the weird thing is it’s not really new. Barnes and Noble is effectively re-releasing the Nook Glowlight 4 that came out in 2021. But this new version is an Ocean Teal color […]
New Kindle Jailbreak Released, Works With Latest Software
There’s a new jailbreak method called AdBreak for Kindle ereaders that works with newer software from version 5.18.1 through the latest software update 5.18.5 that added a new DRM to Kindles (eventually this jailbreak could help get around the new DRM).

This comes after Amazon removed the ability to download […]
Don’t Get Rid of Your Black and White Kindles and Kobos
Kobo has a new white version of the Kobo Clara Colour coming out tomorrow, and Amazon is expected to release a new Kindle Scribe with a color E Ink screen soon, and possibly a 6″ color Kindle too, but what about new ereaders with black and white E Ink screens? This year has been a […]
How to Bypass Invalid ASIN Error on Kindles
It looks Amazon has bestowed yet another bug onto Kindle software with their recent software updates. There are a growing number of reports online about Kindles showing an “Invalid ASIN” error when trying to open certain ebooks, making it impossible to open those books.

Kobo Now Supports Exporting Annotations From Kobo eBooks
It looks like Kobo is in the process of finally adding support for exporting annotations from Kobo ebooks, with support for exporting notes and highlights in PDF, HTML, TXT, and Markdown formats. The weird thing is I haven’t heard anyone talking about this anywhere yet, and I haven’t seen any official announcements from Kobo, but […]
