Mine was Amelia Bedelia. Then Harry Potter. Then various books by Margaret Peterson Haddix. And then Hunger Games. Then taherah mafi. Then Holly Jackson. I’ve always been a reader. FUN FACT! In fourth grade, I was in high school-level reading.

I just got my new Paperwhite and started sideloading books through Calibre. The process worked fine, but the book covers aren’t showing up on my Kindle. I’m sure the covers are fine since these are books I’ve already loaded on my Kobo without any issues. Am I missing a step or doing something...

I ran into an issue and need advice before contacting customer service. I borrowed a book through Kindle Unlimited but decided to buy it since I’ll use it long-term. The purchase went through, but the book stayed marked as a KU title. I clicked “Return to Kindle Unlimited” in the app, and now...

I bought a book from Amazon, but I can only read it on read.amazon.com. Sending it to my Kindle doesn’t work. How can I get it to show up on my Kindle or in the Kindle app?

I love my Kindle Paperwhite and use it exclusively for reading books, having fully transitioned from physical books in 2022. Lately, I’ve been considering the Kindle Scribe to reignite my love for writing. Does anyone here own one and absolutely love it? Would it be a good choice for someone...

I just got a new from my mom, and my wife was like, "Why do you need a new Kindle?" (She’s probably right, but hey, I’m not complaining!) I told her, “I’m going to turn you into a Kindle fan.” She agreed to give it a shot. Now, my wife’s never been a reader—she's hated it since high school...

I was asked to review a book, and though it sounded interesting, I'm about 25% in and it's not resonating with me. The book seems geared toward a corporate American audience, with lots of references I don't get as a British reader, plus a focus on real estate and stocks, which isn’t my thing...

Book bans are on the rise in U.S. schools, with PEN America reporting over 10,000 bans during the 2023-24 school year, up from 3,362 in 2022-23. Florida and Iowa lead these bans, accounting for more than 8,000 collectively. The bans disproportionately target books by authors of color...

Amazon has recently been discontinuing a range of services, including Kindle Vella, Kindle Flashcards, and Freevee, sparking speculation about whether Amazon Book Clubs might also be on the chopping block. Amazon Book Clubs launched in early access in late 2020, providing users with a platform...

I’ve been borrowing books from my local library through Libby for a while because I prefer not to buy books unless I know I’ll read them again. I recently finished the first book in a series and got hooked, so I asked a friend to lend me their Kindle copy, something I’ve done before without an...
