Those of you who have tried Kindle models with special offers know too well how Amazon run ads on those devices. The company now seems to be toying with the idea of selling ads on the welcome screen of the Kindle Fire. It is not going to be cheap by any means as Amazon is [...]

Remember Lendle? It is the e-book lending site that got in trouble with Amazon in the past (had its API access revoked). The site is back in the news but this time around for a different reason. It is up for sale. The 3 co-founders are looking to exit this business. We love being part [...]

The Kindle Fire may be an affordable tablet but it is more than capable of keeping you entertained at home and on the go. It’d be useless to you when it runs out of battery though (unless you have a way to charge it fast). The Solio Bolt is an exciting solar charger that uses [...]

The Nook with GlowLight is a pretty decent e-reader. It is compact, easy to carry around, and does not require you to buy a reading light. We have known for quite some time that Amazon has been working on Kindles with front-lit displays. B&N may have gotten its lighted NOOK to the market first but [...]

Amazon has already released a color-screen e-reader to the market. But that just happens to have a LCD screen. The company was supposed to adopt color e-paper a while ago. It may be ready to do so this year. According to DigiTimes, Amazon could make that move as early as the second half of 2012. [...]

In the past few months, we have heard a lot about Apple’s plans to release a smaller iPad to the market. A 7 inch iPad could put pressure on Samsung, Amazon, and B&N. What we don’t hear a lot about are over 11 inch tablets. As someone who still considers Kindle DX the best e-reader [...]

What’s better than a decent protective case for your e-book reader? A case that can charge your device or its accessories using solar energy. There are not too many such products around. But these 3 solar cases for Kindle / iPad are well worth checking out: Logitech Solar Keyboard Folio: a highly versatile case for [...]

We have heard a bunch of rumors about Apple releasing a smaller iPad to the market in the upcoming months. Apple is already selling a ton of iPads. But a 7 inch device would let the company go head to head against Amazon’s Kindle Fire and other devices competing in this market. According to PriceGrabber’s [...]

The Kindle Fire reached impressive heights in a very short period of time. But the demand for it seems to have cooled off in the past couple of months. According to IDC, while iPad has achieved a higher market share in this market, the Kindle Fire has gone from 16.8% market share to only 4% [...]

A new Kindle software was released yesterday that brings even more browsing control to the Kindle Fire. The Kindle Fire 6.3.1 update will have more parental controls. It gives users the chance to password-protect purchases, disable access to specific content libraries, and completely block access to the Kindle web browser. These updates will be made [...]

The new NOOK has generated quite a lot of buzz among e-reader fans. We have all been waiting for an E-ink e-reader that would let us use it in dark rooms without needing an external light source. The new NOOK Simple Touch with GlowLight offers just that. It has a front-lit design to save you [...]

Since the announcement of the $605m deal between Microsoft and B&N, many e-reader fans have been wondering whether future NOOKs will run Microsoft Windows instead of Android. That doesn’t seem to have been discussed. At least that’s what B&N CEO William Lynch explained: Currently, we’ve not communicated anything related to the roadmap about any hardware [...]

Microsoft’s 300m investment in B&N could be a game changer in e-book reader wars. Microsoft really wants to compete against Apple and Amazon. So the move to invest in B&N does make sense. As TechCrunch reports, Microsoft is paying $180M in advance for Nook for Windows 8. This is a revenue sharing agreement. The move [...]

Many of us spend a lot of time with our Kindles. There is nothing wrong with using your Kindle Touch anywhere you go. But you may want to disguise your Kindle as a book in certain situations. The Klever Case is just the accessory you need to pull that off. It lets you hide your [...]

E-ink is quite an exciting company that is behind the e-paper displays in Kindles and NOOKs. E-ink devices have gained traction in the market in the past few years. But E-ink seems to have trouble making enough money these days. It had to post $27m in losses in Q1 2012. The net sales fell 53% [...]
