NEW VIDEO - ‘Will this mini Bluetooth keyboard pair with these E Ink tablets?’⁣
⁣
While scrolling through the Amazon website, I noticed that this dinky little Bluetooth keyboard from B.O.W. cost around £50 (affiliate link: https://amzn.to/3XEbFsj). Is it any good, and will it work with anything with a screen, including the Kindle Scribe or Note Air 3C E Ink tablets?⁣

NEW ARTICLE: ‘AirPods Pro 2 are Now Hearing Aids’⁣
⁣
Unless you know me personally, you wouldn't be aware of something about me that might surprise you. It's something that can turn everyday social interactions into a mental workout. It's not something you can obviously see, like a limb in a cast or glasses on a face.⁣
⁣
It’s my hearing.⁣

Could this spell the end of traditional hearing aids for those with mild, but still significant, hearing loss?

⁣
The Orbitkey Nest v2 is a desk organiser that aims to keep your workspace neat and tidy while offering a wireless charging option for your devices. Its sleek design and practical features make it a helpful addition to any desk. But with a price tag of around £109, is it actually worth the money?⁣

Substack article - ‘What is a Photo?’⁣
⁣
It seems that until very recently, answering the question, "What is a photo?" was simple. In my childhood, a photo was just a picture. A moment in time captured on film, frozen forever. It was as close as we could get to preserving memories.⁣
⁣
But reality is starting to look a bit different these days. Clever AI tools (such as Google's Gemini and Pixel phones) are beginning to allow us to do things with photos that once would have been unthinkable.⁣

These days the question isn't as easy to answer as you might think!

‘How Replying to Comments Can Skyrocket Your Subscriber Count’⁣
⁣
Let me tell you from personal experience that growing a YouTube channel (or any social media account) is not just about numbers but also about building a community and a sense of belonging. The weekly grind of creating compelling videos and being consistent with uploads can be challenging, but it's the sense of community that keeps me going.⁣

Amazon created the Kindle Scribe for a broad range of users, combining digital reading with writing. It's designed for readers, note-takers, and professionals who want to read and annotate documents in one place. The high-resolution display and responsive stylus make it easy to use. It supports various formats, making it versatile for different needs. Whether for leisure, work, or study, the Kindle Scribe is a useful tool in the digital age.

Why can’t you write directly onto books on the Kindle Scribe the way you can on Boox tablets and others like them? In this video, I try to work out why Amazon might be holding back despite using the technology that would enable us Kindle Scribe owners to do so!

‘Why Do E-Ink Tablets Like Boox Allow Writing on Books, While the Kindle Scribe Does Not?’⁣
⁣
Of all the comments and questions I receive on Scribe videos over on my YouTube channel, the question: “Why can’t I write directly onto my Kindle Scribe books?” is one that I see quite often. That is enough for me to want to investigate and think about why this might be the case when the technology certainly seems capable.⁣

Whether you’re aiming for a personal goal or tackling a major life change, this video is here to remind you that every small, consistent step counts.

Am I ditching my M4 iPad Pro? Not a chance! But there are some things we need to talk about 🤓 #MarkKelly #TheSpark #Tech #Technology #Apple #MacBookAir

Amazon recently released a software update that users have been crying out for - the ability to change the template of an individual page within a notebook! In this video I show you how to manually update the software of your Kindle Scribe if your Kindle Scribe hasn’t automatically updated! The software version referred to in this video is 5.16.9 - I’m based in the UK.

The Boox devices are amazing gadgets and they’ve got so much going for them, not least the colour display on the Go Color 7 and Note Air 3C - an e-reader and a tablet that I’m going to do a deeper review of, I promise! But are they just a little too customisable and ‘open’ for their own good and therefore a little overwhelming for the first time user?
