Around this time last year Amazon updated the software on the Kindle Scribe, and they changed the USB protocol from USB mass storage to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol), which works fine with Windows computers but Mac computers don’t support MTP without using 3rd-party software. I often see people complaining about having problems with the Kindle […]
Software Update for Kindle Oasis 3 – Another Peculiar Update
Amazon has released yet another Kindle software update, and so far it’s only available for the 10th generation Kindle Oasis, which is rather odd. Amazon usually updates all 10th and 11th gen Kindles at the same time, and the Kindle Scribe is usually updated concurrently as well, but the Scribe was left out of the […]
Out With the Nook 4e, in With Another 9″ Nook Tablet
Barnes and Noble is advertising a new Nook on their website, but it’s not really new and it’s barely even a Nook. It’s actually the same 9″ Nook Lenovo Tablet that was released earlier this year, but it’s now available in a Frost Blue color. It even has its own separate page and everything. It’s […]
The Kindle is Out of Stock Just About Everywhere
Here’s something that seems kind of interesting. The base Kindle, the latest model that was released in 2022, is currently unavailable to purchase new on Amazon, and it appears to be out of stock from most of Amazon’s international websites as well. What’s weird is the kids version of that very same Kindle appears to […]
Gallery 3 Screen Comparison vs Kaleido 3 and Regular BW E Ink (Video)
Last week the Remarkable Paper Pro was released. It’s the first eNote to use E Ink’s Gallery 3 screen with actual colored micropixels instead of an RGB color filter layer like E Ink’s Kaleido screens. Color quality is better on Gallery 3 screens, but it looks like they still can’t match regular E Ink screens […]
Replacement Parts for Kobo eReaders Now Available
When Kobo announced the release of their new ereaders back in April, they said replacement parts would be sold for them on the iFixit website, but several months went by and that didn’t happen. Some were starting to question if Kobo was ever going to offer replacement parts like they promised, but now the wait […]
Amazon Removing Kindle Flashcards Feature
Amazon has started sending out emails notifying customers about their plan to discontinue the Flashcards feature on Kindles. Apparently they’ve already started removing the Flashcards feature from Kindle apps, and they plan on doing away with Flashcards entirely in November of 2024. Users can request the flashcards associated with their account from this page at […]
Color Kindle Rumor Looking Much More Likely Now
Earlier this year, I posted about a rumor that was going around about how a reliable market analyst in China predicted that Amazon would release color Kindles in 2025, and now that the Remarkable Paper Pro has been released with an E Ink Gallery 3 screen, that rumor has gained a lot of validity. The […]
