Amazon recently announced a new Kindle, called the Kindle Colorsoft, which is set to ship October 30. While color features on a Kindle are exciting, I’ve had a Kindle Paperwhite for nearly a decade. I sometimes use my Kindle, but I always find myself going back to physical books. Here’s why… MAKEUSEOF VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT 1 I Don’t Use a Kindle Enough to Justify the Price The Kindle Colorsoft is available for pre-order now, coming in at a whopping $279. I got my Kindle Paperwhite for about $100 almost ten years ago. While I…

Latest smartphone releases Apple iPhone 16 and 16 Plus A revised rear camera bump, Action button and new Camera Control touch surface mark the iPhone 16 out as one of the bigger upgrades to Apple’s mainstream model in recent years. New, more vibrant colours are on offer, and performance has taken another step up. Apple Intelligence will eventually be on board, too – though not at launch. Apple iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max This year’s flagship iPhones go even bigger, with 6.3in and 6.9in screens. They get the same Camera Control button as the vanilla iPhone 16, alongside the…

The first video game I remember playing was a gigantic coin-op. It was a monolith of a thing, with its glowing screen and terrifying invader painted on the side. Or at least, that’s how it appeared to me, knee-high to a grasshopper at the time. Regardless, it cultivated a love of gaming, which I took home from the holiday. Alas, the arcade cabinet stayed put. Fortunately, my parents soon bought an Atari 400. A crude console, not only by today’s standards but even compared to those machines that swiftly followed. But those old Ataris had an immediacy about them. Plug and play.…

NewsWritten by Falyn WoodEditor, Time Out MiamiFriday October 18 2024ShareCopy LinkFacebookTwitterPinterestEmailWhatsAppWe didn’t need a whole study to tell us this, but people really seem to like living in Florida. As someone born and raised here (and who moved and came back twice), I can comfortably say it’s a pretty great place to call home. (Especially Miami, though I am admittedly a little biased there). However, a new analysis by WalletHub actually confirms it: Florida is the second-best state to live in the nation. The personal finance company compiles a list of the best states to live in each year, taking into consideration factors such as…

Earlier this week saw the release of three new Xbox Series X/S console options as Microsoft sets out its stall for the holiday season. Not quite as new and shiny as a PlayStation 5 Pro though. You might think the same of yesterday’s Xbox Partner Preview, a showcase focused on third-party releases rather than anything from its first-party studios. Nevertheless, there was already a good reason to tune in based on a few previously announced titles confirmed to make an appearance, which turned out to also include new game reveals as well as several shadow drops, with Remedy bookending proceedings.…

Ever the popular smart device, Amazon’s Fire TV Stick gives you instant access to an arsenal of shows and films. The Fire TV Stick Lite was my top pick, giving you the most value for your money. But there’s something even better that’s just been released – the Fire TV Stick HD. This device replaces the regular Fire TV Stick and Lite version, while bridging the gap between features. Better still, it’s still pretty affordable at $35/£40. Design-wise, it’s the same sleek black stick you’ll jam into the HDMI port on your telly. Amazon’s still sticking with a micro USB…

When it comes to the latest coffee making tech, most hardware is focused on espresso. But with all the extra bells and whistles, actually making your brew can get a little confusing. That’s why the new Sage Oracle Jet makes things easier than ever with a huge 5-inch touchscreen. It can crank out both hot and cold coffee drinks. The Oracle Jet is built around Sage’s ThermoJet technology, which is a heating system that’s apparently 32% more energy-efficient than the standard Thermoblock setups. That means the thing heats up in seconds, so your espresso isn’t waiting around. There’s also a second…

It’s been a big week for Amazon’s market-dominating family of e-readers. In a win for graphic novel fans (and people who just like admiring book covers), the Kindle Colorsoft is the first Kindle to sport a colour display, while the Kindle Scribe has a fashionable new look and is the latest gadget to make use of advances in generative AI. The best-selling Paperwhite also got a much-needed upgrade.  It’s the biggest Kindle refresh in years, and the perfect opportunity to upgrade from an aging model like my own – but I’m reluctant. You see, I’m the owner of what we…
