What is happening with Kobo? They are the global number two player in selling e-readers, books and audiobooks? Audible, Barnes and Noble will no longer support purchases over the next few days and are simply telling their customers to go and buy stuff on their website.

They have upped the commission rate to 30% for every single audiobook or ebook sold through the app and everyone now has use the new Google Play Billing API. This is primarily due to a new Google Policy that just went into effect for anyone who is making over one million dollars per year. Seeing it in action might make the difference between keeping your old Kindle and maybe upgrading.There are many audiobook and ebook companies that are disabling in-app purchases on Android.

If you are more of a visual learner or just want to see what all of the fuss is about, you can watch it. The 10th Generation Paperwhite and older models, do not have a color temperature system, ditto with the base model Kindle, but they do have a front-light.ĭo you want to see Dark Mode active on the Kindle? We have a YouTube video below. However, mixing and matching the front-light and warm lighting only applies to specific Kindle models, such as the 1 1th generation Kindle Paperwhite and the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, along with the Kindle Oasis. I would recommend turning the warm lighting on between 10% to 40% to get the best reading experience. I actually found mixing the front-light and color temperature system looks better, since there is less contrast. Instead of the text bring white, it also becomes a lighter brown, similar to old parchment. Instead of the background being black, it becomes brown. If you engage the color temperature system, or warm light, in conjunction with the front-light, the reading experience is vastly different. I recommend turning on the front-light from 5% to 25% to get that sweet spot. The black background is more muted and the white text is really bright, making it harder to read. When you turn on the front-lit display when Dark Mode is on, it is less of a great experience, if you have the light cranked to the max. What I like about the Dark Mode is the black background blends in with the black bezels. The text is enabled on the home screen, menus, sub-menus, the entire UI and the reading experience. When you turn Dark Mode on, it engages it on a system level. Dark Mode is one of the settings next to Airplane Mode and Sync. Modern Kindles have it in the dropdown menu, by clicking on the inverted arrow at the top of screen, above the search bar. The latest generation Paperwhite has a front-lit display and color temperature system, which allows users to augment Dark Mode further.Īmazon used to make Dark Mode buried in the settings menu and it was hard to find. This makes reading on the Kindle easier at night, so you won’t disturb others. This is a system that inverts the text and background, so the background would be black and text is white.

The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite and the Kindle Oasis has a feature called Dark Mode.
