    It’s easier to read sideloaded files on Nook devices now.

    Users on Reddit have discovered a new feature for their Nooks. ePub files that have been manually added will now have their reading progress synced across devices — a feature previously only available for ebooks purchased on the e-reader.

    This feature is only available on Kindles for files that have been uploaded through Amazon’s email service, and is still not available on Kobo devices.

    1Password is introducing recovery codes.

    The password manager is finally making it easier for users who’ve forgotten their password, or lost their Secret Key, to regain access to their accounts.

    Starting today, users can generate (and make sure to safely store) a recovery code that streamlines the process of recovering their 1Password account. However, the recovery codes will only work for those who still have access to the email address associated with their accounts.

    Backbone and Post Malone have collaborated on a new translucent green smartphone controller.

    It will be available starting on June 25th and will update the original Backbone One controller with a translucent green shell (reminiscent of the Jungle Green N64), laser-etched buttons, an aluminum D-pad, and glow-in-the-dark Post Malone branding.

    The Backbone One: Post Malone Limited Edition Controller will be limited to just 500 units, and that exclusivity is reflected in its $199.99 price tag.
