iPads Tablets & eReaders

The Kobo Elipsa 2E brings back the stylus that made the previous model unique amongst the company’s eReaders, including the big screen.

Who doesn’t love lounging on the beach, reclining by the pool or sitting on the deck reading a book in the summer sun? E-books make the experience even better, but only if you do it the right way. Don’t risk expensive damage or torture your eyes with a smartphone or tablet, use a dedicated e-reader instead and make the most of the reading opportunity.

The Kobo Clara Colour is the company’s first budget-friendly eReader to bring colour to its E Ink display.

Kobo has brought the Clara back in the form of the Clara 2E, an eReader that sits in the middle between entry-level and premium.

If there’s one thing better than sitting on the beach, it’s sitting on the beach with a good book. An e-book, preferably. Unfortunately water, sand and e-readers don’t mix and protective cases can be a pain. Kobo has fixed that problem once and for all with the all new Kobo Aura H2O, a waterproof, sandproof and dustproof e-reader.

     Hacking into mobile accounts is all over the news these days, with either cyber criminals compromising consumer data, or the FBI wanting to break into criminals’ phones for evidence. Security is on everyone’s minds and you should be thinking about it, too. Your first line of defence for any mobile account, of course, is a solid and strong password. So, stop using “password” or your cat’s name, and read on for a few tips for creating the best password for your mobile accounts.

Amazon has finally turned on the lights for its entry-level Kindle eReader, letting you read eBooks at night and in the dark anytime you want.

If you’re looking for some luxury with your eBooks, Amazon’s Kindle Oasis eReader turns the lights up or down for a more comfortable read.

A few years ago, you couldn’t have paid me to switch to a tablet that cost less than $150. However, one of the great things about technology is the trickle down effect and that has changed the tablet game. Just like you can now buy an entry level car with tech that used to be exclusive to premium vehicles–like anti-lock brakes or a Bluetooth capable sound system—many entry level tablets now offer features that used to set the more expensive models apart. I just wrapped up a few days using the Insignia 8-inch Windows 8 tablet and came away impressed. This device is proof that an entry level tablet is more than capable of filling many peoples’ casual tablet needs without spending a fortune.

If you want a really big Android tablet, they don’t get bigger than the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, and the size really does matter.
