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. Whispersync is the secret sauce that makes Amazon’s Kindle ecosystem work so well together. And no matter how badly

Tony Gilroy Is Very Sad at How Relevant ‘Andor’ Has Become

When Tony Gilroy began his Andor journey, his original pitch was deemed “pretty mad and undoable” by Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the showrunner revealed how that initial take would later get revisited after Lucasfilm gave it some thought. “They came back to me and said, ‘We looked at this memo from a year and a half ago, and it makes a lot more sense to us now,'” he recalled. That, of course, led to a series expanding on the very foundation t

The Directors of ‘Project Hail Mary’ Explain Why the Movie Is a PC, Not a Mac

Making movies is all about compromises. This actor is unavailable, so you cast someone else. That location is too expensive, so let’s build a set. This shot is impossible, so let’s think of something better. At every step, the big, huge mechanism of filmmaking is always a work in progress. But on Project Hail Mary, directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord tried to embrace a new philosophy. “What’s great about this movie is there are so many things that make it harder to make,” Miller said in Hall H

TCL QM8K Review: The Best Mid-Tier TV

The main way to tell how old a TV is? Look at the bezels. Until about 10 years ago, they were thick picture frames, but they’ve slowly gotten smaller and smaller as the models turned over. With its new QM8K QLED, TCL has removed them entirely. Innovations in panel design mean that this blindingly bright screen looks like it's floating in space on its pedestal mount. It’s a classy party trick that makes it easy to hide on the wall with images or artwork on it, and it improves the viewing angle t

Researchers Solve 130-Year-Old Literary Mystery Involving Elves, Wolves, and a Medieval Meme

In 1896, Cambridge scholar and author M. R. James found English verses within a 12th-century Latin sermon in a Peterhouse Cambridge collection. James and another colleague identified the verses as excerpts of a lost romantic poem, dubbing it The Song of Wade. Little did they know that the discovery would trigger almost 130 years of fierce debate over the meaning of the excerpts—a debate that two modern Cambridge scholars may have finally put to rest. In a study forthcoming in Oxford University

The New ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Trailer Is an Actual Retro Throwback

The SuperFantastic summer at the movies has kicked off with the release of Superman, but Marvel Studios The Fantastic Four: First Steps is making sure you know it’s not too far behind. The release of the latest trailer for Fantastic Four evokes a feel-good, retro space-age vibe that complements the Man of Steel’s themes. Unlike Barbenheimer before it, the SuperFantastic double feature is primed to make you feel like it’s a return to the Silver Age of comic books. Take a look below: In the late

Google promotes ‘AI Mode’ on home page 'Doodle'

Google CEO Sundar Pichai addresses the crowd during Google's annual I/O developers conference in Mountain View, California on May 20, 2025. The Google Doodle is Alphabet's most valuable piece of real estate, and on Tuesday, the company used that space to promote "AI Mode," its latest AI search product. Google's Chrome browser landing pages and Google's home page featured an animated image that, when clicked, leads users to AI Mode, the company's latest search product. The doodle image also inc

‘Foundation’ Returns With Its Best Season Yet

Foundation is not a show that lends itself to casual viewing. Its nuances and details, not to mention its constantly shifting settings, mean you must pay close attention to understand what’s happening. It’s also not really a show you can decide to start watching midway through, something to consider ahead of its third season premiere. But the rewards are worth it: it’s wildly entertaining—thanks to its writing, layered world-building, and performances—and while it’s a show that deals with very

Nintendo Switch 2 Review: Price, Specs, Availability

Switch 2: Switch Harder. Sure, that's a glib summation of one of the most eagerly anticipated games console launches of all time, but it is, nevertheless, apt. The Nintendo Switch 2 isn't the sort of generational leap PlayStations or Xboxes offer, but rather a refinement of what's worked for the last eight years. In short, it elevates, hones, and polishes almost every facet of the original Switch to deliver what is almost its ultimate form. The similarities are apparent from the moment you open

Angular 16: Key Features and Best Practices for Modern Development

Introduction So, Angular 16 dropped in late 2023, and honestly, it feels like a pretty big jump forward for anyone building serious, enterprise-level apps. It’s not like they threw everything out the window – it still has that core Angular reliability and the ability to handle really big projects. But what they did add is pretty cool: better ways to catch those annoying type errors early on, some genuinely useful new bits and pieces in the Angular CDK, and a bunch of performance tweaks that sho
