When Amazon first announced they would be ending support for all Kindles released before 2013, I thought it wasn’t that big of a deal and was something we should have expected to happen eventually. 14 years is a long run for any handheld electronic gadget. Nothing works forever, and it’s unrealistic to expect any ereader […]

Kobo is Such a Boring Company
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 […]
Amazon is Making Cuckoo Clocks Now Instead of New Kindles
Yesterday I came across Amazon’s new Build It program and when I first saw it it got my hopes up about possibilities for new Kindles because it says this at the top of the page: “Help make your favorite device ideas real. Want to decide which devices we build next?” My first thought was if […]
It’s Crazy How Slow Kindles Evolve and Get Upgraded
Back in 2010 you could buy a Kindle 3 from Amazon, also known as the Kindle Keyboard, with 4GB of storage space and a new upgraded E Ink Pearl display with a resolution of 800 x 600. Fast forward to 2018 and you can buy an entry-level Kindle with 4GB of storage space and an […]
Amazon Needs to Stop With the Phony Kindle Sales
It’s time for another ebook reader rant. This one has been bugging me for awhile now, and Amazon just keeps doing it over and over again hoping to take advantage of people that aren’t paying close attention. Usually Amazon is fair and on the level when it comes to advertising and not intentionally misleading people, […]
The New Kindle Homescreen Sucks, It’s Just One Big Ad
The new homescreen layout that was introduced with the latest Kindle software update sucks, and it sucks bad. It’s the worst homescreen I have ever seen on any device ever. Sorry to be blunt folks, but that’s how I feel. I’m surprised there aren’t more people complaining about how bad the new homescreen layout is. […]
I Can’t Believe Best Buy is Still Selling Sony eBook Gift Cards
You’ve always got to be careful when shopping online. There are always those that are looking to make a buck by selling you an outdated or useless product. That’s the case with Best Buy and their bogus Sony eBook Gift Cards that they are trying to sell for $25 and $50 each. The problem with […]
No New Kindle Voyage 2 in 2015, the Rumor was a Lie
It amazes me how many people fell for and still continue to believe the rumor that a Kindle Voyage 2 will be released this November. Only one website claimed that a new Kindle Voyage would be released this year. Given the source’s reputation for making up stories just to get attention, I knew it was […]
