Yesterday while putting together the Kindle 4 shortcuts post, I was experimenting with different things and stumbled upon a way to get the Kindle 4 to display a blank screen instead of showing screensaver advertisements and special offers. It’s an odd thing for Amazon to overlook, but if you are so inclined you never have […]
Kindle 4 Shortcuts
Below is a table that lists Kindle 4 shortcuts. Since the Kindle 4 lacks a physical keyboard, the same shortcuts don’t apply as with the Kindle 3. Amazon posted a table of Kindle 4 shortcuts over on the Kindle help page. Why they didn’t include it in the user guide is anyone’s guess. I modified […]
Review: Reader Wi-Fi Cover with Light (PRSA-CL10B)
When I first opened the packaging and inspected the lighted cover for the Sony PRS-T1, I wasn’t impressed.

Nook Touch Now $79 Pre-Owned, Nook Color $149 – New Nook Incoming?
About two weeks ago, shortly after the new $79 Kindle 4 launched, Barnes and Noble dropped the price of certified pre-owned Nook Touches from $112 to $99. Apparently they weren’t selling fast enough because now B&N has the pre-owned Nook Touch marked down to $79. Not only that but Barnes and Noble shaved $30 off […]
