BookTok is obsessed with this Amazon reading chair—and it pairs perfectly with this Kindle Colorsoft early Prime Day deal

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support OK, I don't really need the Kindle Colorsoft even though it's down to its lowest price yet of AU$278 in this early Prime Day 2026 deal — as someone who has reviewed some of the best ereaders for TechRadar, I have plenty of them from different brands. What I do want — nay, need — is a lovely, cozy reading nook. It's been a dream of mine to sprawl by a window, sunshine streaming into a cozy corner where I can spend hours doing the one thing I truly love — read. I can read for hours on end and, right now, I end up lying in bed for that. I don't even move to my couch because it just doesn't feel... cozy. Then a 'reading chair' on BookTok caught my attention and I've been keen to find something like it in Australia. Well, guess what? Amazon has a version of it ... actually, there are a few versions of the same chair going for diff...

'I wouldn't even be able to afford the speaker stands' — two big-name audiophile brands just went head-to-head to release the best elite hi-fi tower speaker

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Focal unveils yet another floor-standing speaker Sonus faber reveals a series of speakers, including a floor-stander... ...and several more-affordable options While country-versus-country derbies are playing out on pitches across North America, a certain France vs Italy rivalry is taking center stage... or should that be soundstage? Sonus faber, of Italy, and Focal, of France, have both lined up in the tunnel to bring out new floor-standing speakers; the overlapping timing means that we'd be remiss not to show them at the same time. It really is like Italy vs France… if Italy had qualified. These are all premium hi-fi offerings that are far out of reach for the average speaker buyer — I wouldn't even be able to afford the speaker stands — but one series does, at least, have a more reasonable alternative. The Focal Scala Utopia Evo M (Image credit: Foc...

Easemate.ai review

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Easemate.ai launched in 2025 with a simple pitch: one platform for everything AI. It doesn't make you choose between a chat assistant, an image generator, or a video tool. You get all three, alongside study utilities, document readers, and image editing features. The range of supported models is equally wide, covering GPT, Gemini , Claude, DeepSeek, Grok, Kimi K2, and Qwen 3 on the chat side alone. The creative side is where things get particularly ambitious. Easemate integrates image models including Nano Banana, Midjourney, Flux Kontext, GPT-4o, and Seedream, with a video catalogue stretching to Sora 2, Google Veo 3, Kling, Seedance, and Runway. Few platforms at this price point give you that many models in one place. We've been reviewing B2B software and AI platforms at TechRadar Pro since 2012. Easemate sits in a crowded but useful category of mul...

Playground Games says Fable uses the same engine as Forza Horizon with 'a ton of additional technology on top' — 'Using that base for Fable is just a match made in heaven'

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Playground Games confirms Fable uses Forza Horizon 's tech engine The studio "built a ton of additional technology" on top of the base engine Creator of the Fable series, Peter Molyneux, wasn't involved with the game's development "at all" Fable will utilize the same engine as the Forza Horizon series, which Playground Games says has been a "gift" for the upcoming role-playing game (RPG). During a press Q&A at an Xbox event adjacent to this year's Summer Game Fest (SGF) attended by TechRadar Gaming, associate game director Craig Littler discussed how the team applied the Forza tech engine to create Fable 's sprawling fantasy world, as well as how it evolved certain elements. "In terms of synergies with Forza , so we're on the same technology base, the same engine, the Forza tech engine,...

I expected to hate Enola Holmes 3, but the new Netflix movie and Millie Bobby Brown are incredibly entertaining — despite some laughable flaws

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support When I think of Enola Holmes , one word springs to mind: naff. Average, run-of-the-mill, mundane, as our friends across the world might put it instead. It's been four years since the sequel and six years since the original movie came to Netflix , and I have no bearing on where it sits culturally. As an avid internet user in my pre "I have a job reviewing film and TV" days, the Millie Bobby Brown-led franchise felt like a complete flop. But look at the trilogy from a critic's perspective, and it's been a solid entry into the streamer's canon. Watching Enola Holmes 3, I finally get it. As Sherlock's little sister takes on her wildest case — Sherlock (Henry Cavill) himself being kidnapped — I understand the brief writer Jack Thorne is trying to fulfil... a harmless one. Suitable for all the family thanks to its genuinely fun and co...
