Why You Shouldn't Expect a Tiny Kindle Any Time Soon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Earlier this week, I commented that the recent boom in tiny e-readers—I'm talking about those credit card-sized, Chinese-made e-ink devices that have become all the rage on BookTok and Reddit—was the most interesting thing to happen to e-readers in years. From the Xteink X4 Pro to the forthcoming Boox Picco, these wee little guys, which are small enough to slip into any pocket, have gathered a cult following of readers who prize ultra-portability above all else.Today's announcement of a redesign
Amazon Just Released New Kindles, but I'm More Excited About the Accessories (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Amazon raised the prices of most of its Kindle devices last month—some by more than 30%—it looked like a reaction to the ongoing RAM crisis, but it may have also have been a bit of clever timing: Today, the company has announced a near-total overhaul of its line of e-readers, which are now thinner, lighter, faster, and more thoughtfully designed than ever, and as we've all already absorbed the price hike, there's no bitter pill to swallow alongside the news. Certainly, the new Kindles are l
This Credit Card-Sized E-Reader Has a Front Light and a Touchscreen, and It's 15% Off for October Prime Day (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I've read 25 books in the past year, all of them on an e-reader with a screen roughly the size of a credit card. If you think that sounds untenable, I say: Don't knock it 'til you've tried it. Once you're immersed in a book, you'll find it really doesn't matter, and the convenience of being able to slip it into any pocket and forget it's there means you need never be without it. If you're the kind of person who prefers a soothing e-ink screen to the harsh distractions of a smartphone, this is go
This Credit Card-Sized E-Reader Is 15% Off in Amazon's October Prime Day Sale (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Prime Day is usually a great time to score a good deal on a Kindle device, but in the lead-up to Amazon's "Prime Big Deal Days" event, taking place Oct. 6-7, I would like to redirect your attention to another category of e-readers entirely. Tiny e-ink devices—I'm talking credit card-sized, with screens that measure around 4 inches—are all the rage in 2026, and if you too can see the appeal of carrying all of your books with you on a device so small you'll forget it's even in your pocket, it's no
The Boox Picco Is a Contender for My New Favorite Tiny E-Reader (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Forget the Kindle Colorsoft—the release of the Xteink X4 last fall felt like the first truly interesting thing to happen to e-readers in years. A cheap, slightly clunky Chinese device with a 4.3-inch screen, its perfectly pocketable size (and a smart marketing gimmick—"You can attach it to the back of your phone with a magnet! Never mind that that isn't really a practical or sensible way to read!") quickly attracted an online cult following of tinkerers. Xteink has since translated its viral soc
