Here’s a quick comparison between the new Kindle for 2024 and the previous 2022 model. Amazon only changed a few details with the new 2024 model. In fact, they changed so little they’re still calling it an 11th generation Kindle like the 2022 model (yeah, that’s going to lead to some confusion). The overall design […]
Two Ways to Avoid Seeing Ads on Ad-Supported Kindles
As I posted about earlier, I really like the screen on the new 12th gen Kindle Paperwhite, but I stupidly bought the ad-supported version, so now I have to either put up with the ads or fork over another $20 to Amazon to get rid of them. Having already paid the fee several times on […]

Kindle Colorsoft Doesn’t Support Color on Sideloaded PDFs
Here’s something that’s going to bring out some more criticism about the Kindle Colorsoft. I was testing different PDF files and it turns out the Kindle Colorsoft doesn’t support color on PDFs that are sideloaded via USB. If you use Amazon’s Send to Kindle to send PDFs to the Kindle Colorsoft wirelessly they will show […]
