One thing that keeps annoying me with Kindles over the past couple of years is a bug that sometimes reverts the font type back to the original publisher’s font. I always use a custom font called Merriweather that I got off my old Windows 7 computer (it’s my favorite font type for ebooks), and I’m […]
What are the Most Important Hardware Features on eReaders?
I got to thinking about what features are most important when it comes to dedicated reading devices like Kindles and Kobos and PocketBooks. I often think companies have a very different idea of what is important than the actual customers that are buying their products. Companies sometimes try to make a big deal out of […]
Kindle Scribe Annotations Now Viewable on Kindle iOS App
I received an email from an Amazon rep this morning saying that all in-book annotations added to ebooks using the Kindle Scribe, including sticky notes, are now viewable on the Kindle app for iOS. Amazon added support for viewing Notebooks created on the Kindle Scribe using the iOS app a long time ago, but now […]
Kindle Deals List for Prime Day Part 2 – Prime Isn’t Required!
Amazon is running another sales event called Prime Big Deals Days on October 10th and 11th, so of course all Kindle ereaders are on sale again, and a Prime membership isn’t required to get in on these deals, although there are some Prime Exclusive deals on bundles. The prices aren’t quite as low as they […]

Moaan InkPalm Plus Mini eReader Now on Amazon for $215
I noticed a new listing on Amazon for the Moaan InkPalm Plus, a mini ereader with a 5.84″ E Ink display that looks more like a phone than a typical ereader. The InkPalm Plus was released last year in China so it’s not exactly new, but now it’s available to purchase on Amazon. It’s being […]
What is the Most Comfortable eReader Design?
With all the different shapes and sizes that are available across all the various ebook readers from Kobo, PocketBook, Onyx, Amazon, and the other brands, which design is the most comfortable to hold? I’ve always favored ereaders with buttons over ereaders without buttons. For me, it’s more comfortable to use buttons than having to move […]
Another Mystery Kindle Software Update Released
Amazon has released another software update for the current line of Kindles, as well the previous 10th generation models (the Paperwhite 4 and 2019 entry-level Kindle). They just tacked on another .1 to the previous update from late August so it’s probably just a minor update that fixes a bug or introduces a new mystery […]
