Adobe Digital Editions vs Kindle in our news:

2025. Amazon is re-making Send to Kindle



Amazon has decided to give its beloved Send to Kindle system a rather stern talking-to. From now on, only fully-dressed, respectable email addresses (like “kindlecustomer@xyz.com”) will be allowed through the door, while scruffy, half-baked addresses (such as “@xyz.com”) will be left shivering outside in the cold digital rain. This, they assure us, is to ensure only pre-approved, non-nefarious and presumably very polite senders can lob documents at your Kindle. Anything from an uninvited sender will vanish into the electronic abyss, accompanied by a sorrowful "send failure" email, which is the internet’s equivalent of a sad trombone noise. Ordinary users, blissfully unaware of the drama, will continue merrily forwarding PDFs to their Kindle Scribes and e-books to their e-readers, none the wiser.


2019. Kindle firmware update makes it easier to read ebooks



Kindle Basic, Kindle Oasis, Kindle Voyage and Kindle Paperwhite have just received a new firmware update 5.12.2 that will make it easier to read ebooks. Amazon is basically making it easier to read ebooks when you are done reading or clicking on product recommendations. This system is ideal if you purchase lots of ebooks or are a Prime Member, it also helps if you subscribe to Kindle Unlimited.
