Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2021 is out now with a big display and thinner bezels

The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2021 is finally out, with a handful of aesthetic upgrades and a few long-awaited improvements to one of the best ereaders on the market, which hasn’t been updated since the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2018.

The big upgrades to the Kindle Paperwhite 2021 are a much larger 6.8-inch e-ink screen than the 6-inch display on its predecessor. The ereader also has a USB-C port, finally moving on from the micro USB port of older Kindle Paperwhites.

The new ereader (6.9 x 4.9 x 0.32 inches) is a bit bigger than the 2018 model (6.6 x 4.6 x 0.3 inches), with thinner bezels to accommodate the bigger display. The standard Kindle Paperwhite 2021 has 8GB of storage like its predecessor – but if you want to upgrade to 32GB, you’ll need to pay for the significantly pricier Kindle Paperwhite 2021 Signature Edition.

While the Kindle Paperwhite 2021 is priced at $139.99 / £129.99 / AU$239, the Kindle Paperwhite 201 Signature Edition has a price tag of $189 / £179 / AU$289. The design is identical, but the latter has the aforementioned higher storage, wireless charging, and the capability to auto-set brightness based on environmental light level.

Kindle Paperwhite 2021 vs Kindle vs Kindle Oasis

The Kindle Paperwhite 2021 remains the mid-tier option among Amazon’s ereaders, and the updates make it an even more viable option, though buyers can save money by picking up the older Kindle Paperwhite 2018 at a discount by now.

Consumers looking for cheaper options can pick up the basic Amazon Kindle, which has a chunkier-bezel design but starts for much cheaper – $89.99 / £69.99 / AU$139 – if they’re willing to put up with ads, or go ad-free for $109.99 / £79.99 / (about AU$150). 

The luxury option, the Amazon Kindle Oasis (which hasn’t been updated since 2019), starts at $249.99 / £229.99 / AU$399 for the 8GB model, which has a larger 7-inch e-ink display backlit by 25 LEDs. Some of its features, like the warmness light setting, have trickled down to the Paperwhite series, though its physical buttons might be exactly what some consumers want.

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It? On every Windows drive—even external USB drives—you’ll find a “System Volume Information” folder. You’ll only see it if you have Windows set to  show hidden files and folders , but it’s always there. So what is it for? Why Can’t I Open the Folder? On drives formatted with  the NTFS file system , this folder’s permissions are set to prevent everyone from accessing the folder, even users with Administrator permissions. Double-click the folder and you’ll see an error message saying the “location is not available” and “access is denied.” This is normal. That’s because Windows uses this folder for certain system-level features. The permissions are set to prevent users—and programs without the appropriate permissions—from tampering with the files inside and interfering with important system functions. What Is It For? Among other things, Windows stores  System Restore points  in the System Volume

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side The Black Friday iPad deals are never any good, but in 2021 they've somehow failed to clear that laughably low bar, and we've still been surprised by just how poor the Apple-tablet discounts are this year. Seriously – we're talking just $50 / £50 off super-power iPad Pros , and sometimes no discounts at all on entry-level or Mini tablets – and this outlook very likely won't change for the Cyber Monday iPad deals . If you were wanting to buy a new iPad in the Black Friday sales, it might seem like you're plum out of luck. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for deals in your region). It's not all bad news though, not as long as you're willing to try new things (and aren't committed to the Apple ecosystem already). That's because there are a few worthy tablet Black Friday deals on Android slates that make them much, much more tempting than an iPad. Sure, sure, sure: i
