Here’s an interesting development. It’s now possible to get 20% off on the new Kindle Scribe when trading in an old Kindle, and it doesn’t even have to work to get the discount. I’m surprised Amazon is allowing trade-ins on the Kindle Scribe considering how much more the discount amounts to than a typical Kindle […]
New Kindle Scribe with 10.2″ Screen and Pen for $339
It’s finally happening. Amazon is releasing a new Kindle with a larger screen and stylus support called the Kindle Scribe. It’s available to pre-order starting today and it’s expected to get released on November 30th. The price starts at $339 for the 16GB model with the basic stylus pen. It’s also available with the option […]
Kindle Software Update 5.15.1 Released, Adds Cover Images for EPUBs
Amazon has released another software update for all Kindles dating back to the Kindle Paperwhite 3 from 2015 (also called the 7th generation Kindle Paperwhite). The new software version is 5.15.1, and it appears to be a relatively minor update overall, except it does add the ability to show thumbnail covers for personal documents that […]
10 Free Kindle eBooks – September 26
It’s time for another list of 10 free highly-rated Kindle ebooks to start off the week. I usually post Kindle deals along with the list of free Kindle ebooks, but there isn’t much for Kindle-related sales lately, unless you live in the UK where all Kindles are currently on sale, except the new model.

Comparing New Basic Kindle with New Fire HD8 Tablet
Over the past couple weeks Amazon has released a new 6-inch Kindle ereader and a new 8-inch Fire HD8 tablet, and oddly enough they both sell for $99. When you start comparing the features, it’s hard to believe they sell for the same price because the Fire HD8 tablet has a lot more going for […]

The new Kobo Clara 2E is set to get released tomorrow, September 22nd, and now there are a couple of different ways to order one. In addition to being available on Kobo’s website, the Kobo Clara 2E is also now available to purchase on Amazon and from Walmart. The price is $129.99 with free shipping […]
New Kobo Software Update 4.34 Released
Kobo has released another software update for their line of Kobo ereaders, and it’s available for all models dating back to the original Kobo Touch (except, as always, the neglected Kobo Mini). I thought it would just be a minor update with the new Kobo Clara 2E getting released this week, but it’s a regular […]
Is the Kindle Oasis Going to Be Discontinued Soon?
Last week Amazon announced the upcoming release of a new basic Kindle on October 12th, and some people are still eagerly awaiting an announcement about a new upgraded Kindle Oasis or other premium Kindle. At this point I would say that is very unlikely to happen, and it’s looking more likely that the Kindle Oasis […]
