One of the coolest things about ebook readers is being able to fit an entire library of tens of thousands of books in a small handheld device that you can easily take with you anywhere, but the downside is you’ll never actually be able to read that many books before the device stops working or […]
Kindle eReaders Deleting Sideloaded eBooks?
Lately there have been a number of reports of Kindle ereaders suddenly deleting sideloaded ebooks under certain circumstances, with some reports going back several months. It appears to be a bug that onlys affects ebooks that were sideloaded using Calibre; it doesn’t seem to happen with Amazon’s ebooks or sideloaded books sent using Amazon’s Send-to-Kindle […]
New Kobo eReader on the Horizon – Let’s Speculate!
A listing for a new Kobo ereader turned up on the FCC website a few days ago so we can expect a new Kobo model to hit the shelves at some point in the near future (probably a few months from now). The FCC paperwork doesn’t reveal any specific information about the new device so […]
No New Kindles Released in 2023 – Not a Good Sign
If you’re a fan of Kindle ereaders, it’s hard not to be disappointed with Amazon as this now looks like it’s going to be the second calendar year in the past four years that Amazon hasn’t released a new Kindle. Up until 2020, Amazon released at least one new Kindle every year going all the […]

How to Add Custom Fonts to PocketBook eReaders
While reviewing the new PocketBook InkPad Color 2, I was critical of PocketBook’s seemingly random selection of font choices that don’t appear to be optimized for E Ink screens at all, and I posted an article complaining about how PocketBook doesn’t support adding your own fonts to their ereaders. Some folks were kind enough to […]
Anyone Else Experience This Recurring Kindle Font Bug?
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 […]
