I saw this posted on reddit and thought some folks over here might find it interesting to speculate about. Kobo’s CEO is always posting stuff on social media, and the picture above shows a recent post with a tease about some new hardware coming soon.

2025 Has Been a Down Year for New eReaders
So far 2025 has been pretty disappointing when it comes to new dedicated reading devices getting released. Most companies are just re-releasing existing models with minor changes, like a new bezel color.

Is Kobo Done Releasing eReaders with Black and White Screens?
Yesterday Kobo announced the upcoming release of a new white version of the Kobo Clara Colour, but, mysteriously, they didn’t release a white version of the Kobo Clara BW to complement it.

It looks like Onyx is preparing to launch another new Boox Palma soon, possibly a Palma Color, one that might actually function as a phone instead of just looking like one. There’s an article over on The Verge with literally zero details about the possible new device other than what can be gleaned from the […]
The Constant Random Kindle UI Changes are Really Obnoxious
Companies are always changing the appearance of the user interface on just about everything, but why is it that whenever Amazon makes changes to Kindles it always seems to be for the worse? A lot of people really dislike the look of the new page view layout on Kindles that Amazon switched to with recent […]

Onyx is in the midst of releasing a new software update, version 4.1, for Boox eNotes and ereaders, and some of the new features and UI tweaks look pretty interesting.
