Kindle might have another competitor headed to shelves
C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR an online bookstore, was launched in January 2020 to help independent bookstores survive Amazon. Now the company may be introducing its first physical e-reader, presenting a direct competitor to the Amazon Kindle. There is currently a blank landing page for an e-reader visible on the site. In a compelling new development for e-book readers, known for championing independent bookstores, might soon bring a fresh competitor to the hardware space dominated by Amazon's Kindle. Since its launch in 2020, has carved out a niche as the Amazon alternative for people who want their online purchases to support small, local shops. Over the past five years, the platform has funneled millions of dollars to independent bookstores, cementing itself as a functional, reader-friendly marketplace. Don't want to miss the best from Android Authority? Set us as a preferred source in Google Search to support us and make sure you never miss our latest exclusive reports, expert analysis, and much more. In early 2025, the company turned a new page by launching its own e-book store and reading app. The app offers an extensive catalog, from bestsellers to niche titles, and lets buyers choose which indie shop gets a cut of their purchase. Right now, digital reading experience lives entirely in software. But that could change. CEO Andy Hunter has openly floated the idea of a dedicated e-reader, possibly launched via crowdfunding to keep the project aligned with the company's community-driven ethos. As spotted by GoodEReader, the site now features a landing page for the potential hardware. The presumed vision for this hardware isn't a walled garden like Kindle, but something more open to multiple formats. Think along the lines of Kobo or Boox devices, but with the clear identity baked in. For readers, that could mean breaking free from the 'one-store, one-device' model and choosing an ecosystem that better fits their values. For indie bookstores, it could be a tangible product to sell alongside print titles and a way to reach tech-savvy readers they might otherwise miss. For the e-reader industry as a whole, it could be another voice in the ongoing conversation about digital rights, open formats, and fair revenue sharing. For now, this is mostly rumors, but if hints turn into hardware, a e-reader could be an intriguing shake-up of the e-reader space. Follow

Struggling To Buy Your First House? You're Not Alone: Homebuyers Over the Age of 70 Now Outnumber Those Under 35
The U.S. housing market has entered a paradoxical new chapter: more senior citizens are buying homes than Gen Z and millennials combined. Once dominated by young first-time buyers, the American real estate landscape is now increasingly tilted toward older generations, raising questions about the future of homeownership and the American Dream itself. The Shift in Who Buys Homes Data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows just how stark the reversal has been. In 2024, 22% of homebuyers were 'older' baby boomers, while only 14% were younger millennials and a mere 5% were Gen Z. Nearly half of all homes purchased last year — 46% — went to buyers aged 60 and older, according to Deutsche Bank's global macro research team. Shop Top Mortgage Rates Your Path to Homeownership A quicker path to financial freedom Personalized rates in minutes This is a dramatic reversal from the norm. In 1991, the median age of a first-time buyer was just 28. By 2024, that number had ballooned to 38. Even more telling, the median age of all buyers reached a record-high 56 years old, up a full decade from 2021.

Why Young Americans Are Locked Out The reasons for the generational imbalance are clear but troubling. Home prices remain historically elevated, while mortgage rates — hovering near multi-decade highs — are crushing affordability. The result is that younger buyers simply can't get their foot in the door. According to Americans need an annual income of around $114,000 to afford a median-priced home. Yet the average U.S. salary sits at just over half that figure. The gap between what homes cost and what people earn has widened dramatically, leaving many younger Americans stuck renting or living with family longer than expected. Meanwhile, older buyers — often with decades of accumulated wealth, home equity, and savings — are able to weather high interest rates and steep prices. Many boomers downsize into smaller properties or purchase second homes outright, further skewing the market. The Stalled Generational Hand-Off Owning a home has long been a cornerstone of financial stability in the U.S. It's not only shelter but also a primary source of wealth creation, providing equity that can fund future purchases or retirement. Traditionally, as older generations sell homes, younger ones step in to buy them — ensuring a cycle of renewal. But that hand-off is now stalling. Unless interest rates fall, housing prices correct, or wages rise meaningfully, millennials and Gen Z face the prospect of being a 'lost generation' of homeowners — one that never quite catches up.

But as the barriers to entry grow, that dream looks increasingly out of reach for younger generations. The long-term implications could ripple across the economy, from retirement savings shortfalls to reduced mobility and weakened consumer spending. Still, experts caution against assuming today's imbalance will last forever. Eventually, younger generations will inherit homes from parents and grandparents. But the critical question remains: at what price, and after how many years of delay? For now, America's housing market is upside down. Instead of the young claiming their first homes, it's the elderly who are driving the market forward — a reversal that underscores the nation's deepening affordability crisis and raises sobering questions about the future of generational wealth.
