By Digital Trends Staff February 16, 2010

Eyes bleary from poring over the latest high-tech news, do-it-yourself guides and brutally honest product reviews from your computer? Not anymore. Digital Trends just jumped onto the Amazon Kindle.

As of today, Kindle owners can get fresh content from Digital Trends delivered straight to their eReader via a subscription to Digital Trends Kindle Edition. Users can expect the usual mix of comprehensive coverage of everything from cell phones to 3D TVs, computers, laptops, digital music players, home theater equipment and GPS systems.

“Whether riding on the subway, flying cross-country or just relaxing in a coffee shop, readers can now read up on and discover the hottest new gadgets and technologies wherever they go,” said Digital Trends CEO Ian Bell. “With millions flocking to the Kindle, we’re excited to bring connected readers the latest high-tech news, guides, features and more.”

A monthly subscription goes for $1.99, which includes automated daily updates via Amazon Whispernet. And as usual, Amazon offers a free 14-day trial to make it worth your while.

Amazon Kindle Oasis vs. Kindle Paperwhite: don’t buy the wrong one

A man reads a text on an Amazon Kindle Oasis.

If you're a voracious reader and you like to travel, an e-book reader is an ideal device for you. Many of the best e-readers are made by Amazon, but working out which model to go for is easier said than done. Much depends on what features you crave. Should you push the boat out and go for the top-of-the-line Kindle Oasis? Or, should you save yourself some cash to buy more books and opt for the latest Kindle Paperwhite?

Amazon has continued to refresh its range over the years, but the choice between these two models is still a tough one to make. Here's how the choice between the Kindle Oasis and Kindle Paperwhite breaks down and which one you should buy.

It took me 20 minutes to make Amazon’s new Android tablet perfect

The Google Play Store, YouTube, and Google Docs installed on an Amazon Fire Max 11.

I heartily recommended the Amazon Fire Max 11 in my recent review. In fact, I was so impressed by it that I wanted to continue using it during my daily life after my review period was up. The problem was the Amazon App Store — and to a lesser extent, the Fire OS software — as they stopped me from making the absolute most of this great device.

Could I modify the Fire Max 11 so it was useful enough to replace my Apple iPad Pro? Yes, and it was shockingly easy.

Why I replaced my Kindle with an $1,800 Android phone

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and books

Kindles are cheap, long-lasting, and easy on the eyes. Depending on the variant you pick, they can even fit in your jeans pocket, just like a phone. Amazon’s e-reader owns a lion’s share of the market with a diverse hardware choice and a rich portfolio of titles in its digital library. It’s a dream device for bookworms that can carry thousands of books in a package that is just over five ounces.

But the Kindle comes with its fair share of pitfalls, and over time, you start craving the feel of real books with all their colors. It happened to me, and the result was a long, dry spell of not reading books, even though my Kindle library is still about 70% left unread. But that’s not the end of it.
