Pretty much all dedicated ereaders have Bluetooth built-in these days, but most of them don’t support connecting remote control page turners using Bluetooth. Some devices, like Onyx’s Android ereaders, have supported Bluetooth page turners for a long time now, but Kindles, Kobos, Nooks and other ereaders still don’t offer that feature. They all have Bluetooth […]
Kobo Should Add More Wireless Transfer Options for eBooks
I’ve seen some complaints about Kobo’s lack of options when it comes to transferring ebooks to Kobo ereaders wirelessly, and I think it’s a valid criticism. Most Kobo devices don’t officially support wirelessly transferring personal documents and ebooks at all. Only the Kobo Forma, the Kobo Sage, and the Kobo Elipsa officially support Dropbox. All […]
New Kindle Software Update 5.15.1.1 Now Available to Download
Amazon has released a new software update for Kindle ereaders. It’s been nearly 5 months since the last software update was released so it’s been quite a bit longer than usual. The update still isn’t showing up on Amazon’s software page just yet, but thanks to a heads-up by jhowell at MobileRead you can download […]
9 Ways to Transfer Files To and From Onyx Boox Devices
Yesterday Onyx posted a guide for transferring files to and from Boox devices on their website, and it’s surprising how many different ways there are to do it. Given the fact that Onyx’s devices run Android, there are a lot more ways to transfer content that with a typical ereader like a Kindle or Kobo. […]
Why is Amazon So Bad at Recommending Kindle eBooks?
Do you ever find the ebook recommendations on Kindle ereaders and Amazon’s website useful? I used to check the Kindle ebooks section of Amazon’s website regularly, but now it’s just row after row of useless recommendations that I could care less about. It’s the same story on the homepage of Kindle ereaders. It seems like […]
Another Kindle Bug – Document Covers No Longer Displaying on Lockscreen
There’s yet another Kindle bug going around. This is at least the third one this year, along with the blank screen issue and the disappearing notes bug on the Kindle Scribe. This new issue is relatively minor but annoying. Basically, documents are no longer showing covers on the lockscreen when the Kindle is turned off. […]
Woot Sale: Kindle Paperwhite $69, Signature Edition $109
If you’re looking to score a Kindle ereader for cheap, Woot has some really good deals on the current Kindle Paperwhite. Like usual with these Woot deals, the Kindles are listed as refurbished so they aren’t brand new. But most people report their condition being like new when they receive them so they’re usually a […]
Kindle Scribe Disappearing Notes Issue – Make Backups!
There have been some reports on reddit, MobileRead, and Amazon’s own Kindle forum about notebooks and annotations (both with ebooks and PDFs) suddenly disappearing on the Kindle Scribe for no apparent reason. Unfortunately it seems to be a random issue and there doesn’t appear to be a way to recover notes after this happens. Obviously […]
