Users turn to jailbreaking their older Kindles as Amazon ends support

I got an old Sony Reader, PRS-300 to replace my broken PRS-500. It has NO ecosystem and I love it. Calibre does a fantastic job in managing the library. I've got some gripes with Calibre, but it's mostly about the interface and for a free, open source tool, not enough to really make a lot of hay ove

Suggest a eink device for a 8 th grader

If you could find a Sony Reader PRS-300 from way back in the day with a functional battery (Sony doesn't make that particular battery anymore and it's hit or miss if they can still hold a charge now), I've always said it would be perfect for a kid because it's JUST book, no wifi/internet or games or

I adore Sony e readers. I have a PRS 300 (or 350 I forget which exact model) I got at a car boot sale for £4 last year with the Sony leather folio (with the inbuilt light) and I finally fitted a new battery in it a month ago.

It feels so solid without a case on it and it doesn't feel like it will slip out of my hands. - I got it for the size and I love i

Time to replace the Kindle Paperwhite

i got a sony PRS-T2 for $7 at an op shop last week, and i love it. super simple and easy to use, has a microSD card slot for expansion up to 32gb, and it's fairly snappy with page turns, plus you can rotate the text to read horizontally if you like. i also like the clicky navigation, home and menu b

Amazon to end support for older Kindles, prompting user outcry

I'm amazed they they haven't realized that by being so petty pushes people away. Almost all of my reads are free ebups because of these silly games. I started with Sony E Reader, went to Nook reader because the evil aura Amazon's been exuding for decades. Once I lost the ability to download my ebook

My foster puppy destroyed my 10-year-old Sony e-reader… what do I buy now?

I'd suggest pocketbook. Either a verse pro or the era for a larger display option. The system is open and they also have some kindle-like functionality like send books via mail or cloud. It also is very easy to install koreader on it, which is beyond awesome of you're into tweaking your reading soft
