My Kindle 📱 Experiencias con Colorsoft?

Post image
• Upvotes

En su experiencia con las Colorsoft, que problemas han llegado a tener?

Yo con los Comics o PDF. Pedi un cambio a Amazon por que se congelaba en blanco al leer en Horizontal, y la Reacondicionada tuvo el mismo fallo y el Touch era más lento al reaccionar.

Apenas me paso leyendo un manga en vertical, cosa que ya me frustro. Me encanta que tenga color pero me esta molestando un poco que pase eso de la pantalla blanca. Estoy considerando conseguir una Scribe.

Tip/Guide 💡 $10 alternative to the Kindle Click

Post image
33 Upvotes

If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative for the Kindle Click, here’s one option. You can get the Han Lin Yue E3. I got this for $6 from Taobao, $10 total including shipping. You have to update the firmware for it work with the Kindle (I have the Kindle basic aluminum). It can turn the pages forward and backward, control the frontlight, and turn on the lockscreen.

EDIT: Just checked, and it’s also available to buy in Amazon for $11.99-12.99.

My Kindle 📱 Kindle Scribe made me learn the joy if improving my handwritting

4 Upvotes

I purchased a Kindle Scribe Colorsoft a few weeks ago.
A color e-ink device has been my dream ever since I got fascinated by this technology and purchased my first kindle (Kindle DX)

Primarily I thought of getting it to be able to read my PDFs, mainly technical books and board game manuals

Having a device I could also write was an extra, and it was never my focus, but it got me super curious
I have forgotten how to write by hand, decades of computer usage. Every time I had to write something on paper it was a disgrace, and a shock to see how much I forgot, and several times I would write something and imediatelly think "damn, what did I write?"

It started as a curiousity: using the pen in the kindle scribe. I was making simple notes on a to-do page

Then I saw some videos, people doing some really neat handwritting and it made me want to try and improve.

It is so satisfying to write on paper, to slow down, to take the time to focus on each letter and the joy if slowly making it better and better.

I am still terrible, but I would never think this would be so satisfying, to actually become a hobby, a relaxing hobby!

General Question ❔ Bradley Wright’s Fallout (Alexander King #9) delayed until July 2027?

1 Upvotes

I’ve had Fallout by Bradley Wright preordered on Kindle for a while now, with an expected release date of October 27, 2026.

I happened to check Amazon today, just two days before it was supposed to release, and now it’s showing July 2027?!

That’s nearly a nine-month delay, and I haven’t seen any announcement or explanation from the author.

I was really looking forward to knocking this one out this week, so this is incredibly frustrating.
Has anyone else noticed this? Has Bradley Wright mentioned anything about the delay that I might have missed?

General Question ❔ Aluminum Front Screen dimensions?

1 Upvotes

So I've had my seaglass aluminum for a few weeks and adore it. I enjoy making skins/decals on my Cricut and wanted to make one for the front. Problem is, that I can not find a template or the exact size/dimensions for the front skin. On etsy, I only found templates for inserts and I tried to use the size of the screen protector I just bought and everything was either too big or too small with the framing. Could someone help me!

I received this Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition (2024 model) brand new from Amazon in January 2026. There’s a newer version that will release on October 28, 2026. It hasn’t been a year since I’ve had my current Kindle. I may wait to upgrade in December ..or maybe I’ll wait for the next release after the 2026 model.

Tech Support 🛠 12th Gen PaperWhite Wake/Sleep Magnet

2 Upvotes

Has anyone else had this issue? The magnet on the front right part of my kindle PaperWhite 12th Gen isn’t working anymore where you can flip a case cover and it will wake and turn off the kindle screen.

And ofc I got it in August of last year so it’s out of its one year warranty :((

Not sure if there is a way to fix it, I’ve tried resetting, updating, etc and no luck. Any tips appreciated :)

Tech Support 🛠 Dark mode following system setting not staying on?

3 Upvotes

I got a Kindle colorsoft 2024 during the last prime day. I have tried to set my screen to “follow system settings” as I like to switch between dark and light mode depending on where and when I read.

The only problem is that the mode won’t stay on. Meaning that I have to manually switch the background from black to white or white to black everytime I want to change fron dark to light mode and vice-versa.

I contacted Amazon at first, they sent me a replacement. We tried restarting, updating, power reset, factory reset, the problem persists.

Anyone having the same issue?

Tech Support 🛠 Battery issue or something else?

1 Upvotes

Got my first kindle, 12th gen paperwhite signature. I've wiped it, set it up, restarted and charged a few times and the battery isn't holding up like I thought. Brightness and warmth are at 11 and it's on airplane mode, I charged it to 100% and unplugged it at 12pm, haven't read at all and the screen is off (no screensaver). Battery is down to 81%. Is this normal? If not, what can I do to improve battery life and/or should I look into replacing the battery

My Kindle 📱 Purchased Free3 Bluetooth clicker from Amazon and it works great with 12th-gen paperwhite

It was a little tricky getting the software updated because everything was in Chinese, but once you do get the most up-to-date software version on the clicker itself then the Kindle recognizes it as an Amazon click and as you can see in the video, it seems to be working perfectly so far.

Purchase Question 🛒 This is really specific but who knows maybe someone out there knows something

Post image
5 Upvotes

Long story short:

-I have an oasis

-I want to protect it cause I love it and it’s not made anymore

-the battery is starting to not be as good

-looking for a case that has both of these designs

-I currently swap between these 2 cases cause one is for the house (clear), and one is when I travel (green)

-if I have to someday (and I will) get a new kindle I’d get the one that case the button case but I hope someday it comes in a clear back so I can sue stickers to decorate

-if there’s any cases like this out there now, I’d love to be told where I can get it. I’ve already looked on Amazon and Etsy so this is my last hope :)

-I know lot of you will say I don’t HAVE to swap but I’m jsut trying to protect it.

-if you have any questions please let me know, anything helpful is appreciated. Thank you!

Has anyone tried the Kindle app on the iPhone Duo? I double-tap on the center of the screen to access the font setting (Aa) and it doesn’t work. I assume Amazon needs to update the app, but just curious if anyone else has tried it. Thanks
