Here’s why sideloaded books might not be working on your Kindle

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-20 10:22:01

If you’ve recently tried to open a sideloaded book on your Kindle and hit a wall, you’re not alone. Starting this week, users across Reddit’s r/kindle community began reporting a sudden “Invalid ASIN” error message. The alert claims the selected title is not valid for Digital purchase on the Kindle, even when the book was loaded via USB or email rather than bought through Amazon’s storefront. Notably, the error only seems to affect unread sideloaded titles. Books that had been opened previously

How to Change Your Kindle’s Language: Spanish, French, Japanese, and More (2025)

wired.com Nena Farrell 2025-09-26 06:17:21

Looking to learn a new language? Reading is a great way to start, and you don't need a physical book to do it: Here's how to change your Kindle's language (and download books in other languages!) to learn right from your favorite e-reader. Reading a different language helps you expand your vocabulary and nail down nuances like sentence structure, and for visual learners like myself it can be the ideal way to start really learning information.

What to expect from Amazon's event on September 30

Amazon will host a press event at the end of the month with some new hardware developments. It's scheduled for September 30 at 10AM ET in New York City. Here's what we think will be discussed at the fall event. In February, Amazon introduced some improvements to its voice assistant, promising that Alexa+ would be more conversational and more helpful thanks to generative AI.

Kindle, take note: It’s time for a pocket-sized Scribe

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority Amazon’s Kindle Scribe shines at home or in the office, where its oversized canvas is perfect for notes and sketches. Take it on the road, though, and it quickly feels cumbersome. That’s why reMarkable’s new Paper Pro Move feels like a direct challenge. If reMarkable can shrink its notepad to a 7.3-inch form, Amazon has no excuse. It’s time for a pocket-sized Scribe.

The best e-reader to buy right now

theverge.com Sheena Vasani 2025-10-05 01:33:26

Any ebook reader will let you cram a Beauty and the Beast-sized library’s worth of books in your pocket, but so will your phone. An ebook reader offers a more book-like reading experience, with fewer distractions and less eye strain, and many include extra features, like adjustable frontlighting. Some really are pocketable. Others are waterproof or offer physical page-turning buttons, while a few even let you take notes. I’ve been using ebook readers for nearly a decade, and I’ve gone hands-on

This newish Kindle feature compensates for my terrible memory

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority Like anyone who hates picking out new books, I absolutely love a good series. A lineup of three to five books off a single decision is just efficient. Yet, keeping storylines straight between installments isn’t always seamless. To that end, Kindle Recaps might be the most underrated tool on my e-reader. The feature quietly solves a very real problem for anyone who juggles long series, busy schedules, or a brain that just can’t keep every plot twist straight. H

I want to ditch my Kindle, but one feature keeps stopping me

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority I love my Kindle, but it isn’t always within arm’s reach. Like a lot of readers, I don’t just use one device; I use whichever one fits my context. I often read on an eReader, but via the Kindle app, I’m also highly likely to finish a chapter on my phone in the grocery store or listen to an epilogue in the car. That’s where Whispersync comes in.

Libby is hands down my favorite part of using my Kindle

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-24 09:30:35

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority As a kid, my library handed out tokens for every chapter kids read as part of a summer reading program. At the end of the season, those tokens turned into currency for spending at a karaoke BBQ, with games and toys up for grabs. I’ll never get over the trauma of singing American Pie (I had not realized just how painfully long that song really is), but I will always foster the same love for mass consumption of oversized chapter books.

Kindle Colorsoft Kids Review (2025): Great for All Ages

wired.com Nena Farrell 2025-10-26 10:37:00

The age-old question (if “age-old” can be used for technology developed in the past 20 years) persisted as I tested the newest designed-for-kids Kindle: Should you give kids a screen when you could give them something else? If you are going to give your kids a screen, a reflective e-paper screen that's easier on the eyes than an emissive screen is one of the best ways to go. While a Kindle can't fully replace the experience of turning a page on a physical book, I loved reading from a young age

8 reasons why I replaced my Kindle with an iPad Mini for reading ebooks
