The Kindle developer’s section over at MobileRead has been a lot more active lately ever since the updated Kindle jailbreaking method was released for newer Kindles with current software.

Kindle vs Kobo Aura One Comparison Review (Video)
Last week I posted about the size difference between the 7.8-inch Kobo Aura One and 6-inch Kindles.

Kindle vs Kobo Aura One Size Difference (Pics)
Yesterday I posted some first impressions of the Kobo Aura One, and by far the most impressive thing about it is the larger screen. I and many others have been hoping for a larger Kindle for the past few years and it never happens. Luckily Kobo isn’t afraid to change things up a bit. I […]

Kindles support 3G wireless connectivity in over 100 countries and territories across the globe. If you’re thinking about getting a Kindle with 3G wireless support or if you’re going to be […]
Updated Kindle Paperwhite 3 Video Review for 2016
It’s been a little over a year since Amazon first released the Kindle Paperwhite 3. I was looking back at my review of the Kindle Paperwhite 3 and it’s pretty outdated so I decided to put together a new updated video review for 2016. Amazon changed a number of things this past year with the […]
Review: Amazon Capacitive Stylus for Kindles and Tablets
If you saw my last video review of the new entry-level Kindle for 2016 you probably noticed that I was using a stylus to interact with the touchscreen for most of the review. I don’t know why I didn’t think of using a stylus sooner; it helps not having my hand blocking the view of […]
