While working on the Kobo Clara HD and Kindle Paperwhite comparison review yesterday, it became plainly clear to me that it’s time for Amazon to move on from the Kindle Paperwhite. At this point the idea of a Kindle Paperwhite 4 makes little sense when you stop to think about it. Amazon (and consumers) would […]

The Kobo Clara HD is the latest 6-inch ebook reader to hit the market, so let’s compare it to the most popular 6-inch ebook reader, the Kindle Paperwhite. The Kindle Paperwhite 3 was released three years ago now, and it has been sporting the exact same design since 2012, so it feels kind of odd […]

One day after Kobo announced the new Kobo Clara HD, Amazon is stirring up questions about a potential new Kindle Paperwhite. Today on the product page for the Kindle Paperwhite 3 there’s suddenly a notice about a newer version being available, but when you click on the link it leads to a dummy page labeled […]

If you’re an Amazon Prime member you can get big discounts on select Kindle ereaders and Fire tablets for the next week. They have the Kindle Paperwhite marked down to just $79, its lowest sale price ever (for Black Friday and Cyber Monday it was $89). Additionally, the entry-level Kindle is on sale for $49 […]

For a long time that was the only option for a waterproof Kindle, until the new Kindle Oasis came along. Now Waterfi has a cheaper option available where you can get a refurbished Kindle Paperwhite for $99 that’s waterproof. The 3G […]

When you look closely at the current Kindle Paperwhite, it’s starting to lag behind other ebook readers in certain areas. Not just other brands like the Nook Glowlight 3 and Kobo models that offer more storage space and have frontlights with adjustable color temperature, but also other Kindles. For instance, the basic $79 Kindle has […]
