MagicX One 35 review: A fresh twist on handheld gaming

The MagicX One 35 is a budget Android handheld that offers near-first-class support for both horizontal and vertical gameplay. It is available for $85 or $109 with a 128 GB SD card. The device features a 2 GHz chip and 4 GB of RAM, making it capable of handling most retro emulations and native Android games. However, it struggles with some modern systems and has ergonomic issues due to its compact design. The One 35 excels in handheld emulation, particularly with Game Boy Advance and PSP games, and its proprietary launcher, Dawn, makes changing screen orientation easy.

Amazon will offer DRM-free ePubs with its e-book purchases starting next year

Starting January 20th, Amazon will offer DRM-free ePubs and PDFs for some e-book purchases, reversing its previous anti-consumer DRM policies. This change will allow customers to download DRM-free files for e-books published after December 9th, 2025, if the publisher opts to provide them.
