Amazon's Fire TV Sticks come loaded with a variety of features that differ by model. For instance, the 4K Max and 4K Plus support all HDR formats, including Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG, while the 4K Select and HD models do not support Dolby Vision. All Fire TV Sticks also offer some form of cloud gaming: the HD supports Amazon Luna, whereas the 4K Select, 4K Plus, and 4K Max support both Luna and Xbox Game Pass.

When Amazon launched the Fire TV Stick 4K Select in October, one of its standout features was its use of Vega OS -- a new Linux-based operating system. For more than a decade, Fire TV devices have run Fire OS, an Android-based system, making this the first time a Fire TV device has shipped with a completely different OS.

Digital notebooks were never a technological step forward I considered before. Paper wasn't broken (it hadn't been for thousands of years) so why fix it? Between my paper planners, notebooks, MacBook, and iPhone, the gap between my analog and digital workflow was manageable, and I never noticed it unless I left one or another at home.

Nearly every piece of technology, whether it's your desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartwatch, eventually slows down. Why it's slowing down could be due to various factors, such as aging hardware, outdated software, or temporary files cluttering the system. Streaming devices and smart TVs are also prone to this issue since they are essentially mini-computers.

I'm the Kindle Scribe's newest fan, though I used to swear I'd never trade my pen and paper for a digital notebook. After spending the last month with the device, though, I can confidently claim that the E Ink tablet has completely revolutionized my productivity and workflow. It's silky smooth, convenient, and breaking it out in my local coffee shop makes me feel quite posh, I must admit.

Black Friday is back -- and over a week early this year on Amazon. This week, the shopping giant started rolling out a plethora of early Black Friday deals, or should I say 'steals.' In the Kindle department, the sales are borderline drool-worthy if you've been looking to get your hands on the fan-favorite e-reader.

It's that time of year again, and deals are popping up everywhere for Black Friday. Amazon has kicked off its "Black Friday Week" sales, and, as expected, all four of its Fire TV Stick streaming devices are significantly discounted, including the HD, 4K Select, 4K Plus, and 4K Max.

As a proud Kindle owner, you're probably thinking that your device is the final evolution of reading. Thousands of books in a slim E Ink tablet that goes wherever you do? Unbeatable. Not having to choose between three hardcover beach-reads to put in your carry-on luggage? The relief is palpable. But if you're just buying e-book after e-book from the Amazon Store, are you really using your device to its maximum potential?

Ever since Amazon launched its new Linux-based TV operating system, Vega OS with the new Fire TV Stick 4K Select, many questions have arisen about the future of Fire OS, its Android-based operating system that has powered all its Fire TV devices, including its popular Fire TV Sticks, for over a decade.

I've always claimed that the best gift someone could ever give or receive is a book with a handwritten note on the inside cover. It's the ultimate thoughtful gesture, also very budget-friendly, especially if you're looking at paperbacks over hardcovers. Unless it's a gorgeous limited-edition -- then, you might be headed toward the upper-echelon of price tags.
