PocketBook announced a successor to the InkPad Color back in April, and now it’s finally available to purchase from PocketBook’s official Amazon store for those looking to get a color ereader. The PocketBook InkPad Color 2 is selling for $329 with free shipping, the same exact price as the first generation model. PocketBook is also […]
Which eReader has the Best Page-Turn Buttons?
I came across a post on reddit asking Which e-reader has the best page turning buttons? As a big fan of having dedicated page-turn buttons on ereaders, I thought that was a good question. However, after thinking about it for awhile I concluded that I can’t come up with a definitive answer to say one […]
Navigating Kindles is Still a Slow and Clunky Process
After reviewing the Onyx Tab Ultra C last month, I got used to using the gesture-based navigation on it and it’s so much smoother and more intuitive than the interface on Kindles. Every time I go back to using a Kindle it feels like going back in time ten years. Just about every action requires […]
Would You Buy a Phone-Sized eReader for Reading On the Go?
About a week ago Onyx released a new hybrid device called the Boox Palma, but it was an “Early Adopter Edition” that was only available for a few hours before it sold out so I didn’t post an article about it.

I’ve seen this topic come […]
Why Don’t eBook Readers Have Reading Timers?
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could enter a time on your ebook reader when sitting down to read, say like 30 minutes, and then a popup notifies you when the time runs out? One thing I don’t like to do while reading is keeping an eye on the clock. It takes me out of […]
Kindle Paperwhite Kids No Longer the Better Deal Thanks to This Change
During the Prime Day madness, I noticed something about the Kindle Paperwhite Kids bundle that makes it not as good of a deal as it used to be, so I’m no longer going to be recommending it as a better deal than the regular Kindle Paperwhite. When Amazon first released the Kindle Paperwhite 5 back […]
