One thing about Kindle ereaders that’s kind of unique (and strange) is the fact that newer models don’t offer very many upgrades if you’re coming from an older model, even going back as much as 10 years. When it comes to other types of electronic gadgets, most companies are trying to get people to upgrade […]
Kindle Software Update Released, with Changes to Your Lists
It’s that time again. Amazon’s Kindle ereaders are getting another round of software updates, and they’re getting a bit carried away with decimal points on this one. The new firmware version is 5.16.10.0.1, and it’s available for all 10th and 11th generation Kindles, as well as the Kindle Scribe. That covers all Kindles released over […]
Kindle Scribe On Sale for Only $235, Refurbished
Last week Amazon had the Kindle Scribe on sale for its lowest price ever at $234.99 for Prime Day, and while that sale has ended, you can still get a Kindle Scribe for that same price. Amazon currently has certified refurbished Kindle Scribes on sale, and the 16GB version is $234.99, which is $75 off […]
Certified Refurbished Kobo Libra 2 Now Available for $159
The Kobo Libra 2 is back and it’s available to purchase from Kobo’s website again. Both the black and white versions are in stock, and they’re selling for $159 with free shipping. The only catch is they are certified refurbished, not new. On the plus side, that’s $30 less than they sold for new, and […]

Is Kindle Scribe to Blame for Meager Kindle Sales?
Something changed with Amazon’s approach to putting Kindles on sale late last year when they only took $20 off the Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite for their vaunted Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. Since then, Kindles have been going on sale less frequently than they used to, and when they do go on sale the […]
Kindle Prime Day Deals List 2024 – Worst Deals Ever
Amazon’s Prime Day sales are now live, and the deals on Kindles are the worst I’ve ever seen, with the exception of the Kindle Scribe. My Prime Day predictions were way off because I was using last year’s sales as a starting point, and the deals aren’t nearly as good this year. Prime Day used […]
Still No Replacement Parts for Kobo’s New eReaders
When Kobo announced their new ereaders back in April, one of the selling points was the fact that they made them user repairable so customers could buy replacement parts if something breaks. They put up a Kobo Repair Hub on the iFixit website with repair guides and lists of parts that you can buy for […]
