Night Shift is kind of amazing

So I updated my iPad mini to iOS 9.3 beta, and I've been testing out the new Night Shift feature.

For those of you who haven't heard about it, Night Shift basically takes the blue out of your...

You might like a promising new series called Thrones & Bones by Lou Anders. The first book, Frostborn, just came out this summer, and book 2 is coming out in 2015. It's really fun!

Amazon and B&N, which I decrypt and put on my Kobo. What a strange world we live in.

Bitter Slab, modified

I thought I'd get in on this game! I took the open source font, Bitter, and darkened it a bit for the e-ink screen. I'm kind of in love with it right now, and I thought others might want to try it....

Installed today on the Kobo Aura 6". Fixed two huge problems I was having: 1) Device instantly goes to sleep instead of taking 30 seconds (after toggling the switch), and 2) Boots much faster with an...

I won't buy a Kindle because they've turned e-readers into a race for the bottom. Since Amazon got involved, I think e-readers across the board have gotten more fragile, more cheaply made, and have...

I have this cover, have been using it for about two months, and bending the cover back NEVER causes the Aura to go into sleep mode. Perhaps you had a defective case?

Mine arrived in perfect shape, and I love the form factor. My only issue is slightly immature software. If I had to give Kobo any suggestions, it would be to make sure that the software becomes...

I factory reset the device and re-uploaded the books with the latest Calibre (1.5), and that solved the problem. So odd! When I had uploaded with 1.4, that's when I ran into trouble.

Just got my Aura today, and thankfully it's in perfect shape. I'm sorry some people were getting ones with poor QC. I hope the defective units are the exception, not the rule.

Overall, I really...

The front light is one thing. Software, form factor, etc. I think all are wins for Amazon and Kobo. I feel like both companies are trying to make e-readers more modern and usable. By contrast, Sony...

People are making the comparisons because Kobo is one of the last major companies producing ePub e-readers that are competitive with Amazon.

For whatever reason, Sony doesn't seem interested in...

Yes, the new Aura. I am a PRS-T1 user who was hoping Sony would release a front-light reader with the PRS-T3. Since Sony doesn't feel like adding such a cool and useful feature, I had to...

I'll definitely give you battery life, but without revealing any inside information, let me say that B&N has something coming up for people who don't like their white nooks.
