    Boox is improving the user experience of its e-readers.

    The company is rolling out new firmware (V3.5.3) that will address a common complaint with its E Ink devices. The update includes a redesigned user interface with cleaner icons plus navigation elements and toolbars that are more intuitive.

    The new firmware also introduces a new system-wide annotation tool, screen mirroring to any device with a browser, and a Dark Mode that boosts contrast by inverting text.

    A DIY Switch Lite OLED screen upgrade is coming for less than $50.

    That’s according to YouTuber Taki Udon who’s been teasing the mod they’ve created for months and today shared a proof-of-concept video demonstrating a Switch Lite with a much improved OLED display.

    There’s no word on availability, but with a confirmed price tag under $50 and an upgrade process that’s described as, “very easy,” we’re very tempted.

    Microsoft announced an update to Edge’s clipboard allowing SVG files — space efficient vector images — to be copy and pasted into web apps without any complicated workarounds.

    The company also contributed the updates to the open-source Chromium project so that other Chromium-based browsers can add streamlined SVG copying and pasting. Maybe Chrome will be next?
