I turned on my Kobo Glo yesterday and it informed me there was a new firmware update available so of course I went ahead and installed it. The biggest change that I’ve noticed so far with the new 2.3.1 firmware is that Kobo added a nifty reading stats menu that’s accessible from within Kobo ebooks […]
Kobo Glo Review
Well, it’s finally finished. Here’s the link to my Kobo Glo review. The Kobo Glo has been out for over 2 and a half months now so I guess this review falls into the better late than never category. When a device has been out that long it is really hard to get motivated to […]
eReader and Tablet Sales and Deals 12/18/12
With Christmas only 1 week away and shipping deadlines drawing near, there are some really good deals on tablets and ereaders. By far the best current deal is the one Staples is running on the lineup of Nook devices. They’ve got the Nook HD+ for $200! That’s $70 off the regular price. And the regular […]
Nook HD+ Gets Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with N2A Cards

Kindle eBooks Now Being Sold From Amazon Canada
Amazon has recently started selling Kindle ebooks directly from the Canadian Amazon website, Amazon.ca. I’ve been waiting for Amazon to make an official announcement on the subject, but it looks like they aren’t going to. I guess they are going for the silent marketing approach on this one. Up until recently all Kindle ebook purchases […]
8.9″ Kindle Fire HD $50 Off Today Only – All Models
Amazon has decided to run a sale on the 8.9″ Kindle Fire HD today. This is a bit unusual because Amazon almost never runs a sale on current Kindle models. Perhaps they aren’t selling as well as the cheaper 7″ models, or maybe Amazon has an overload of stock. Either way, getting $50 off is […]
B&N Permanently Drops Price of Nook Touch to $79
Barnes and Noble has decided to shave $20 off the price of the Nook Simple Touch as of tomorrow, December 9th, dropping the total expenditure down to just $79 plus tax. And it’s not a sale; the price is staying at $79. That’s a pretty good price considering it sold for almost double that ($139) […]
