PocketBook’s German division has announced the upcoming release of the PocketBook Era Color with a 7-inch color E Ink Kaleido 3 screen. The new model shares the same design as the original PocketBook Era, but it adds some upgrades, including a faster quad-core CPU and more storage space (32GB), and of course it has a […]
It’s Time for Color E Ink Screens to Go Mainstream
Some people won’t like to hear this, but I think this is going to be the year where we start to see a lot more ereaders and eNotes using color E Ink screens. Last year when I reviewed the Onyx Boox Tab Ultra C with the latest generation color E Ink screen, a Kaleido 3 […]
Price History for Kindle eReaders – Lowest Sale Prices List
Amazon is known for putting Kindles on sale all the time, but lately that hasn’t been the case. In fact, it’s been over 5 months since the Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite were last on sale at what would be considered low sale prices.

Is the 8GB Kindle Paperwhite Being Phased Out?
I wonder if Amazon has decided to phase out the 8GB version of the Kindle Paperwhite, or maybe they’re just having stock issues, but it’s been out of stock for a while now. You can still order the 8GB Kindle Paperwhite from Amazon for $139.99, but the webpage says it isn’t expected to ship for […]

Kindles are a good example of how bezels have become narrower over the years. The Kindle Paperwhites 1-3 all […]
New Color Kobo eReaders Leaked (Probably)
Yesterday someone over at Mobileread posted links to a website that sells Kobo ereaders with listings for three new Kobo ereaders, including two models that seem to have color E Ink screens, and it looks like these new devices might in fact be the three Kobo ereaders that are listed on the FCC website. Every […]
Is Customer Support Really That Bad in the eReader Industry?
One thing I often see on forums and reddit posts is people complaining about horrible experiences with customer support from different companies that sell ereaders. It seems like all brands get called out for this somewhat regularly, and it’s not a good look for the ereader industry as a whole, but I think poor customer […]
