Digital Trends Writes New Chapter for Technology on Amazon Kindle

By Digital Trends Staff Updated 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.

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.
The Kindle bored me into book isolation

Who needs the Pixel Tablet? Amazon’s new Fire Max 11 looks great

Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet laying on a desk.

Amazon just announced a new tablet — and it's probably not what you were expecting. Amazon's latest foray into the Android tablet world is the Fire Max 11, and it aims to be far more premium and powerful than any of the company's previous offerings.

The announcement also comes at an interesting time. Google just opened preorders for the Pixel Tablet, the OnePlus Pad recently debuted to fairly good reviews, and rumors of new Samsung tablets are quickly picking up. But even with so much going on in the tablet space, the Fire Max 11 looks like it could make a compelling argument for itself.

Amazon is adding 4 big features to your Kindle Scribe — here’s what’s new

Ever since it launched in November of last year, we've been seeing plenty of new, solid updates coming to the Kindle Scribe. Starting today, four more great features are being added to the device.

While we noted that the Scribe was missing a handful of features at launch that we thought might be useful, Amazon has made up for it (and more) with the updates that the company has been pushing on a regular basis.
