Mashable publishes 2025 gift guides with Kindle’s new pinning feature

Gift guides cover tech, home, and lifestyle categories

Mashable’s 2025 gift guides, curated by Senior Shopping Reporter Leah Stodart and a team of experts, offer a wide range of product recommendations for wives, moms, and men. The guides span categories such as tech, home appliances, beauty, fitness, and lifestyle, with options for various budgets and occasions like Mother’s Day, birthdays, Christmas, and Hanukkah.

Products featured include the Ember mug, Dyson Airwrap, Kindle Paperwhite, Apple AirPods Max, and Ninja Specialty Coffee Maker, among others. The guides emphasize personalization and practicality, with some items marked as "Promoted" or "Sponsored" to distinguish them from independently selected products.

Mashable’s team tested and reviewed the products, and the site may earn an affiliate commission if purchases are made through its links.

Kindle’s new pinning feature enhances reading experience

Mashable also highlighted a new Kindle feature that allows users to pin text or images for quick reference. To use the feature, users highlight the desired text or image and click a pin icon. Pinned items appear in the footer of the Kindle screen, making it easier to revisit important sections.

The article notes that Kindle’s resolution is 300 ppi, lower than most smartphones, but increasing brightness can improve image contrast. Users can also zoom into pinned images and text for a closer look.
