It’s time for another ill-advised internet rant. I like Kobo’s ereaders and their ebook store is a good alternative to Amazon, but as a blogger, Kobo gives me practically nothing to work with. They do like two things a year that are worth talking about. Last year all they did was release the Kobo Clara […]

If you’re looking to get a Kindle ereader for cheap, Woot has the previous generation Kindle Paperwhite 4 available for only $39.99 for the 8GB model. They also have the 32GB version available for $49.99. Like most Kindle deals from Woot, these are listed as “refurbished”. Who really knows what that means these days, but […]
Amazon Issuing Partial Refund for Kindle Scribe Cover
I received an interesting email from Amazon today. Apparently they’ve decided to issue partial refunds to people who bought the Brush Print Leather cover for the Kindle Scribe back when it was still called the Premium Leather Cover and the price was $10 higher.

Kindle Scribe Update – Video Summary
Earlier this week Amazon released the first software update for the Kindle Scribe since it was released about 3 months ago. I put together a quick video showing the new features with the 5.16.1.2 update. A lot of people complained about how basic the Notebook features were after the Kindle Scribe was first released so […]
Will B&N Release a 10″ Nook with Stylus Support?
Just about every company that makes ereaders has jumped into the eNote market by releasing an E Ink device with stylus support. One company that hasn’t so far is Barnes and Noble. Nooks aren’t nearly as popular as they once were, but B&N continues to churn out new models at a regular pace. Last year […]
Kindle Scribe Still Needs Better PDF Support
Yesterday Amazon released the first software update for the Kindle Scribe since it was released in November that added some new features. Most of the improvements center around the notetaking experience with the addition of more writing tools and subfolders to help organize notebooks. Amazon also states the Kindle Scribe will be getting copy and […]
