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 […]

PocketBook has announced the upcoming release of a new InkPad Color 3 with a 7.8-inch color E Ink screen just a few months after they released the InkPad Color 2. It looks like the InkPad Color 3 is exactly the same as the InkPad Color 2, except they’re using a newer Kaleido 3 screen instead […]

Some folks were kind enough to […]
Anyone Else Experience This Recurring Kindle Font Bug?

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
