The first few weeks after Amazon released the Kindle Colorsoft, a bunch of negative reviews were posted on Amazon’s website, with a lot of 1-star reviews because of the frontlight issue and a general lack of quality control. The overall rating for the Kindle Colorsoft was way lower than any other Kindle that’s ever been […]
Nook Users Getting Shafted Again on Lenovo M9 Tablets
I saw this post on reddit about certain Lenovo tablets not supporting the Nook Android app, and it’s exactly the kind of problem that you’d expect to hear about when it comes to Nook and Barnes and Noble. B&N sells co-branded Lenovo tablets that come preloaded with a customized Nook app. The same Lenovo M9 […]

My Kindle Voyage Mysteriously Turned Ad-Free
I haven’t been using my Kindle Voyage much lately since the Kindle Paperwhite 6 came along, but I decided to fire it up yesterday to charge it and I noticed something odd. The screensaver ads have mysteriously disappeared. It’s now showing a generic screensaver instead of an advertisement like ad-free Kindles. Furthermore, the banner ad […]
Kindles Do Support Sideloading Library eBooks (Except New Models)
There seems to be a common misconception about how Kindles work with ebooks borrowed from public libraries through OverDrive/Libby. Between Amazon randomly deleting USB sideloaded content and people trying to avoid getting automatic software updates that potentialy break things, especailly after jailbreaking their Kindle, some people feel like they’re asking for trouble by leaving their […]
