We recently saw a patch for the Kindle Touch which adds a lot of the new features that were introduced in the Paperwhite. I remember a similar thing happening with the 4th-gen Kindle and Kindle Keyboard, where the new features shipped with the 4th-gen Kindle were added to the Keyboard, but quite a few months later. I'm skeptical that it takes them this long to prepare these new features for older devices. And even if it did, they could be working on these patches at the same time as they're...

Is it just me, or is the user experience when dealing with free samples on Kindles pretty terrible? I'm not sure if it's the same on the Fire, so let me know if it's different. But here's how it works on the e-ink Kindles. You find a book in the store that you want the sample for, so you download it. Great. You read the sample and get to the end, and there's a link to the store to buy the full book. Great. This is where it starts going wrong. You now have both the sample and the full book on your...

Do you plan to/did you pay to remove them? I just picked mine up today, and while the ads are entirely unobtrusive, they are poorly targeted (Discounted spa treatments are completely uninteresting to me). Any thoughts here?
What did you and your fellow gdgt users consider the most wanted gadgets for the month of November? Check out the following list! Samsung's Galaxy Nexus reigns supreme.
I have seen a few reviews comparing these e-readers. Which one comes out on top depends on what the reviewer decided to focus on. I thought I'd share how I chose the Kindle Touch over competing touch screen e-readers: Audio support The Kindle supports audio books, text-to-speech, and music while you read. It's nice to be able to block out the world with some music while I read (without juggling multiple devices). Wire-free library loans The Kindle doesn't require sideloading files to get books from...

It looks like Kindle Touches are starting to arrive in customers hands today. Have you gotten yours yet? If you had a previous Kindle, how do you think it compares?
So i think it is time for an e-reader, but the big question is which one? Do I go with the B&N Nook, or Amazon Kindle touch? I hear the Nook has a batter display and is more responsive but I feel the Kindle has a better industry backing.
This holiday season I'm planning to get into the e-ink reader fun, and I'm looking for a simple one to use - an important aspect for me because I also plan to get one as a gift for my 80 year old grandma who is still quite the avid reader who's running out of book shelf space.
Why do you think would be a better buy (with special consideration that the device would be used by an not so tech-inclined elderly individual).
Hey guys! I just got this email from Amazon informing me of some new improvements to documents that are launching as a part of the Kindle refresh. Dear Kindle Customer, As a past user of the Kindle Personal Documents Service, we are pleased to let you know about some improvements: • Your documents are now automatically archived in your Kindle library (you can control this from the Manage Your Kindle page at www.amazon.com/manageyourkindle). • Archived documents can be re-downloaded from your...

I'm drooling at the mouth probably as much as everyone else with he announcements of the new Kindles. A $79 Kindle!!!! A $99 Kindle touch!!!!!!!! $149 Touch w/ 3G!!!!!!!!! The blogs were all going nuts about it and spamming us with the information. People were writing home B&N's doom (again). Even on Amazon's homepage they are sort of advertising these prices. I have to say though as I went to the Kindle page's on Amazon I found that all of those advertised prices were for the "ad supported"...
