The Nook HD+ is one of the best large-screen tablets on the market thanks to its 1920 x 1280 high resolution screen and relatively low price, and it just got a whole lot better with the release of N2A cards to give it Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. I’ve reviewed N2A cards in the past for […]
The Best and Worst Selling Kindles Are…
Today I was looking over the electronics bestsellers list at Amazon.com and thought the way the various Kindle models stack up against each other is interesting. Currently the #1 bestselling Kindle is the 7″ Kindle Fire HD for $199. That’s somewhat surprising considering the fact that Amazon just ran a couple of sales on the […]
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.

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 […]

It can be had for around $100 from Chinese wholesale websites and is somewhat comparable to the iPad mini in terms of screen ratio and resolution. Thanks to James Cloud for the review. And once again, if […]
Software Update for Kindle Fire HD Version 7.2.2 Adds New Features
The Kindle Fire HD got some new features via a firmware update yesterday. The new firmware is labeled version 7.2.2, and it’s for the 7″ Kindle Fire HD. The 8.9″ model has different firmware, and there isn’t any mention of the new features on its software update page yet—it will probably be updated soon. Here […]
PopSlate: An iPhone with a 4″ E Ink Screen, Kind of…
One way or another E Ink is going make its way onto smartphones. A couple of months back Onyx International showed off an Android-powered phone with an E Ink screen, and the company E Ink themselves demonstrated a prototype of a dual-sided Android phone with an LCD screen on one side and an E Ink […]
