New Kindle Colorsoft Has Obvious Light Bleed Issue
The new 2026 Kindle Colorsoft was officially released today, and my pre-order actually showed up on time (unlike my Paperwhite pre-order that got delayed). Fortunately for me, I no longer have a first gen Colorsoft so I don’t have to compare them to try and detect minute differences with the E Ink screen (yeah, that […]

Kindle Android App Now Supports Handwritten Notes Like Kindle Scribe
Amazon recently updated their Kindle Android app to add some new notetaking features for ebooks. If you have a device that supports using a stylus, the update basically turns the Android app into a Kindle Scribe, at least when it comes to annotating ebooks. I don’t have an Android phone or tablet that supports this […]

Amazon Opted to Release AI Recorder That Attaches to Phones Instead of Mini Kindle
With Xteink’s devices and other mini ereaders that magnetically attach to the back of phones surging in popularity, many people were hoping to see Amazon release a mini Kindle this fall as a mainstream alternative. Unfortunately that isn’t going to happen. But Amazon is releasing a new device with a similar form factor and a […]

Screensaver Ads Disappeared on My Kindle Ube in Airplane Mode
I’ve been railing against the screensaver ads that come on the new plastic-backed Kindles for 2026 ever since I got the Kindle Ube, so I was surprised when the advertisements suddenly disappeared. For some reason my ad-supported Kindle Ube is no longer showing ads on the lockscreen; it’s now showing one of the new screensavers […]

Amazon Marketing New Kindles as Pocketable is a Stretch
One of Amazon’s marketing points regarding the new 6″ Kindles for 2026 is the claim that they are pocketable. They even have pictures on the product page showing people putting a new Kindle in the back pocket of their pants. There’s a caption that goes along with the pictures that reads: “A library in your […]
