I was digging around in the Kindle Paperwhite’s newly-redesigned settings menu after the new software update that was released yesterday, and I rediscovered the Storage Management section now that it’s no longer hidden below the list of other settings like it was before. Among the Storage Management settings there’s the option to “Quick Archive” downloaded […]

These are the Most and Least Popular Kobo eReader Models
I noticed that Amazon has started showing an estimate of how many units they’ve sold in the past month for some products, and I was looking at the list of Kobo ereaders on Amazon and thought the results were pretty interesting.

While 2023 was kind of a disappointing year for new ereaders, unless you’re a fan of color E Ink, things are bound to get more interesting in 2024, hopefully a lot more interesting. Amazon didn’t release any new Kindles in 2023 so they’ll most likely release something new at some point this year, especially with […]
