Welcome to an exciting New Year’s edition of the Good e-Reader Radio Show. Michael and Peter break down all of the major occurrences in the e-paper, e-reader and e-note industry in 2022. You will learn about all of the major new products that came out and and their thoughts on them. Most of the time perspective changes from the day the products are first reviewed, to how they perform later in the year with a couple of firmware updates.
Michael and Peter break down the new products from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo. These are the largest companies in the world that release a number of new devices every single year. The Kindle Scribe was a bright spot, and makes a deadly e-reader, but their note taking functionality and editing books is pretty abysmal. There were over 120 new e-readers and e-notes released in 2022 and although there was no time to talk about every single one, the show was devoted towards the products that made the hosts excited, and also the few products that really sucked.
In this edition of the Good e-Reader Radio Show, Michael and Peter break down all of the top stories from October. Many new e-readers and e-notes have been released in this past month. The 11th Generation Amazon Kindle is the most notable, it has been upgraded with a 300 PPI display and 16GB of storage, which houses 4x the number of digital books. Onyx announced a new lineup of products that are on pre-order now and will be shipping out at the beginning of November. The Tab Ultra is the most notable, it is as fast as a typical Android tablet, however it has an E INK screen. The Leaf 2 has manual page turn buttons built into it and feels like a more refined Kindle Oasis. There are 2 variants, one with a flush screen and bezel and one with a sunken screen, it is great to have options. The Nova Air seems like a deadly note taker with great hardware. Additionally, Kobo Clara 2e has been taking the world by storm and the Tolino Shine 4 went on sale in Germany.
One of the biggest stories of the month was the advent of the Bigme Galy, which is the first Android tablet using the latest generation E INK Gallery 3. The most compelling aspect about this tech is that it can display 50,000 colors with 300 PPI in an 8-inch Android 11 tablet with Google Play. This device will be a co-brand between Bigme and Good e-Reader. We are really excited about being the first to market with a Gallery 3 device and it will start shipping in January 2023.
Welcome back to another utterly compelling edition of the Good e-Reader Radio Show and Podcast. Lots of new E INK related products have come out lately, some are dedicated e-readers such as the new Kindle, Tolino Shine 4, Hanvon N10 Mini and a bunch of new Onyx readers that are only available in China. There are also have been a few Fire tablets that have come out like the Fire 8 HD and also some cool monitors with an e-paper screen on one side and a full color LCD on the other. In this show we cover everything new that has come out lately, in addition to my thoughts on the new Kindle Scribe, and why I am going to buy it.
There has been upheaval at Amazon. The original developer of the Kindle and oversaw the entire division for the past 15 years has left the company and ditto with the guy who made Alexa. This is due to the new CEO, Jassy. Lots of the old guard are leaving and new executives are taking their place. This has resulted in many old Kindle legacy services being shut down, such as loaning out Kindle books to your friends.

Welcome to the Good e-Reader Radio Show with Michael Kozlowski and Peter Carotenuto. Once a month, the boys give you a sense of all of the latest news in the audiobook, ebook, e-reader and e-note industry. Today, you will understand why audiobooks and digital books are so expensive and some of the reasons why this has occurred. Audiobooks have always cost more, even going back to cassette and CD days. Engineers, well known voices and billable hours is what drives costs up and audiobook sales are the fastest growing segment in digital publishing for the past five years.
Kobo is going to be announcing a brand new Clara HD 2 sometime in the next few weeks. It will be similar to previous generation, except it will be waterproof, have a USB-C cable and Bluetooth compatibility for listening of audiobooks. It will be the first e-reader that is made of 100% recycled plastic, which will be one of the big marketing messages to customers.
Why has Good e-Reader been reporting on lots of Kindle news lately? People have been sending emails and leaving comments on our news articles and even our new Forum. One of the reasons why, is that it is the most popular e-reader in the world and lots of new readers have been checking out the website and are turning into regular readers. Most of the Kindle news online is either buying guides, or reviews. We try and provide new information or a series of tutorials that are not available anywhere else. Kindle drives views and this is how a niche website like Good e-Reader can continue to pay all of our staff and our growing expenses. Recently we gravitated from a dedicated server to Amazon AWS and EC2, so we are 100% in the cloud now. You might have noticed that our website speed has dramatically increased in the past two months, this why.
Lots of tech blogs have been reviewing our InkNote Color that we designed, in conjunction with Bigme. The ratings are generally 4/5 which is really solid and we are proud.
Good e-Reader Radio is back with Michael and Peter. Today on the show the boys discuss the co-branded color e-reader with Bigme and Good e-Reader.
