Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been reading Kindle ebooks on the Boox Palma 2, and I noticed that the Kindle Android app now supports in-app ebook purchases. I don’t know when that happened, but it must be a recent change. Amazon removed in-app purchases from their Android app back in 2022 when Google […]
New Kindle Jailbreak Works With Any Kindle on Any Firmware
Over at MobileRead, there’s a thread about a new jailbreak method called WinterBreak that claims to work with any Kindle on any firmware, at least from the Kindle 5 and up. All that is required to jailbreak is a PC, a registered Kindle, and a valid WiFi network to connect your Kindle to. Every time […]
New 13.3″ Boox Note Max Now Available to Purchase on Amazon
Last month Onyx announced the upcoming release of a new 13.3″ model called the Boox Note Max. It still hasn’t officially been released yet, but it’s getting closer. The Note Max is now available to order from Onyx’s Amazon store for $649, and it’s expected to start shipping later this month. It always surprises me […]
Why Aren’t White eReaders More Common?
When it comes to dedicated reading devices, black is by far and away the most common color. In fact, probably close to 80% of ereaders are black, and most are only available in that color. There are a few exceptions, like the matcha green Kindle, but even the different colored Paperwhites have a black front […]
Amazon Erroneously Locking Accounts, Making Kindle eBooks Inaccessible
Amazon is giving customers yet another reason not to trust them with ebook purchases. Over the past couple days, social media and reddit is littered with reports of people getting locked out of their Amazon accounts, and consequently being unable to access their purchased ebooks on Kindles and Kindle apps because they get locked out […]
The Kindle Oasis 3 is Now Back In Stock for Some Reason
I noticed this morning that Amazon is selling the Kindle Oasis 3 again. It’s in new condition too, not refurbished like you might expect at this point, and they have the 8GB version and the 32GB version in stock. It was around this time last year when Amazon started phasing out the Kindle Oasis, and […]
Kobo eReaders Support Remote Page Turners Like the 8BitDo Micro
Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of people posting about using an 8BitDo Micro as a remote page turner with Kobo devices, and apparently it’s super easy to setup using the 8BitDo Ultimate Software app and it doesn’t require altering the Kobo software at all. I guess I didn’t know that Kobo’s devices supported Bluetooth […]
Gallery 3 Screens Look Surprisingly Bad Compared to Carta Screens
Over on reddit, someone posted side-by-side pictures of the new Remarkable Paper Pro (left) next to the Boox Go 10.3 with a Carta 1200 screen (middle) and the SuperNote A5X2 with Carta 1300 (right), and it’s hard to believe how much worse the Remarkable’s color screen looks compared to regular black and white E Ink […]
