Last December I posted about how it’s now possible to borrow library ebooks on Kindles using the new updated web browser, but I still don’t think most people know that library ebooks can work that way on Kindles, and Amazon doesn’t advertise that fact anywhere.

I thought it would be interesting to compare the current state of the lower end Kindle with the new Kobo Clara BW and the Kobo Clara Colour.

Here’s a video showing how the two new Kobo Clara ereaders compare to each other, and some of the differences are surprising.

It’s been eighteen months since Amazon released the Kindle Scribe, and I still can’t figure out their motivation behind it, or why it’s on sale all the time at what seems to be unusually low prices. The Kindle Scribe is the only Kindle currently on sale at Amazon, and it starts at $239 for the […] The post Something About the Kindle Scribe Doesn’t Add Up first appeared on The eBook Reader Blog ..read more

I decided to put together a comparison video showing the two new color Kobo ereaders side-by-side to give an idea of how the screen sizes compare, and to show the different features between them.

It started last fall when the Kindle Oasis started to periodically show up as “currently unavailable” on Amazon’s website, and then by December it was no longer available to purchase in the US, with some exceptions when a few would show up again occasionally.
