Amazon has both kids versions of the entry-level Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite on sale, and the prices are nearly as low as they were for Prime Day. In fact if you buy two of them you can get an extra $20 off, making the price of the entry-level version lower than it was on Prime […]
How to Use Custom Screensavers on Kobo eReaders
I came across a post on reddit yesterday with directions on how to set custom images on the screen when Kobo ereaders are turned off or sleeping, and it’s really easy to set up. Apparently the newer software on Kobos has an option to use custom screensavers but the feature is not being advertised. This […]

Would You Buy a Phone-Sized eReader for Reading On the Go?
About a week ago Onyx released a new hybrid device called the Boox Palma, but it was an “Early Adopter Edition” that was only available for a few hours before it sold out so I didn’t post an article about it. Onyx is apparently trying to determine if there’s a market for smaller phone-sized reading […]
