When PocketBook announced the InkPad X Pro last August I knew it was going to fail miserably, and it looks like that’s exactly how things are playing out.

Kobo’s eReader Lineup Now More Confusing Than Ever
After Kobo released three new ereaders at the end of last month, and then discontinued their most popular and best selling model earlier this month without releasing a direct replacement, their current line of ereaders is rather confusing now and doesn’t make much sense when you look at it as a whole. Some people didn’t […]
How to Borrow Library eBooks Directly on Kindles (Video)
Last December I posted about how it’s now possible to borrow library ebooks on Kindles using the new updated web browser, but I still don’t think most people know that library ebooks can work that way on Kindles, and Amazon doesn’t advertise that fact anywhere.

Get 3 Months of Kindle Unlimited for Free (YMMV)
I saw a forum post about Amazon giving away 3 months of Kindle Unlimited for free so I went and checked it out and the promotion is indeed available for me too, and I don’t have Prime so it appears to be available for regular accounts. You can check the main Kindle Unlimited landing page […]
Kindle eReaders are Lagging Behind, Again
Somehow Kindles continue to dominate the ereader market, and yet if you follow the industry closely it’s readily apparent that Kindles are the least innovative and the slowest to change and get upgrades compared to other brands. All the other main ereader companies now offer devices with color E Ink screens in addition to ereaders […]
