We may earn a commission from links on this page. Since its release 2023, the Boox Palma e-reader—and its successor, the Palma 2—has sown confusion. It’s the same size and shape as a cell phone and it has an e-ink screen, but it isn’t an e-ink phone, because it doesn’t have a SIM card slot […]

What People Are Getting Wrong This Week: Are Aliens Invading in November?
We may earn a commission from links on this page. To the disappointment of Judgment Day fans, The Rapture did not happen as predicted at the end of September, but keep your fingers crossed for November, when aliens are expected to invade.

In fact, if you mostly use your Kindle for novels or even black-and-white manga rather than color comics or […]
AI Is Coming for Television, Whether We Like It or Not
YouTube may have been the official partner at MIPCOM this year, but AI was the unofficial winner.
