Yesterday a new jailbreak package was posted over on MobileRead that works on all currently available Kindle Paperwhites with 5.2.0 or 5.3.0 firmware.

Marvin is a New eBook Reader App with Artificial Intelligence (Video)
There’s a new ebook reader app for the Apple iPad called Marvin. What’s unique about Marvin is its Artificial Intelligence engine that analyses the book you are reading and then provides additional information about the characters and places mentioned in the book, and more.

It’s Not Going to Be a Paperwhite Christmas
This is some weird timing. Two days ago I posted about how I thought it was odd that Amazon has had the Kindle Paperwhite listed as shipping on December 21st for several weeks, even after the busy Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping weekend, and especially when you can go to a Best Buy or […]

I keep expecting the date to change, for them to be sold out for Christmas, but it hasn’t happened yet, and I wouldn’t be surprised […]

I’ve been meaning to write an article about the Best Tablets for eReading for a long time to go along with the Best eBook Readers page, but when you start to think about it it’s not an easy task to complete given the sheer volume of tablets on the market these days. How could I […]

With the PRS-T2 it will notify you that the update is available after connecting to Wi-Fi and then ask to download and install it. I’m not sure if the PRS-T1 has automatic updates […]
