There’s a new scam going around when it comes to buying Kindle ebooks that people need to be aware of. I’ve seen this mentioned a few different places lately, but I didn’t know exactly what people were talking about until now. There’s a post at reddit describing how the scam works, and it’s coming through […]

Going Back to Paper Books After Using an eReader?
It would be interesting to know how often people ultimately decide to go back to reading paper books after using an ereader. Obviously I’m a bit biased in this regard, but I haven’t wanted anything to do with paper books in a long, long time. I don’t like all the space they take up, and […]
Is the Kindle Oasis 3 the Last Kindle with Page Buttons?
Looking over the history of Kindles, Amazon has always offered a Kindle with page buttons since the very beginning.

Kobo Needs to Release a New Entry-Level eReader
Looking over Kobo’s current lineup of ereaders, most of them are still relatively new. They released the 6-inch Kobo Clara 2E last fall, and the 10.3-inch Kobo Elipsa 2E earlier this year. The Kobo Sage and Kobo Libra 2 were both released in October of 2021. There’s a chance Kobo could replace them, perhaps with […]

The fact is ereader screens tend to break a lot easier than most other types of devices like phones and tablets with LCD and LED screens, and broken screens aren’t covered […]
