E-reader recommendation

So unless you remove the DRM from your existing Kindle books (can at this point in time still be done if you have a Windows PC), you need either another Kindle or a Kindle app to read those - and if you want to borrow from a library as well, that basically means Android. You won’t get anything close

Kobo Clara BW vs. the new Boox Go 6 (Gen 2)

https://ereadercatalog.com/e-readers/compare/musnap-neo-2/boox-go-6-gen-ii Neo 2 has larger battery, faster and more power efficient SoC/chipset too. I've owned a lot of boox devices, they usually get around 18-22~ hours of on time. My new musnap ocean is doing 44 right now, still it's on initial fu

musnap ocean bw or boox go 7?

Musnap ocean, this is basically an internationalized ireader ocean 5c but with a bw recessed screen like their more expensive ocean 5 pro: Better screen (it's recessed, text will be clearer and look better under any light. In China only the ireader ocean 5 pro has this, which is very well received b

Gen 1 paperwhite finally died - need advice!!

The closest you're going to get to a new 7" around $150 is the Musnap Ocean with the 35% off coupon @ $160. 8" is 2nd hand Kobo Sage territory. It's currently out of stock though, you'll need to check Amazon every day for it to appear again, add it to a list or cart and then wait for the coupon to a

Completely lost on which e-reader to buy

I would lean musnap ocean or neo 2. If you need colour they have colour versions but I prefer the bw versions because bw only screens have higher contrast. Beauty of android is you can get and use any app, including kindle. The battery is very good too, better than any boox device. Also higher quali

Musnap Ocean arrived! First impressions, and comparisons to Boox, Kobo, etc

I am SO glad I stumbled upon this post. Like others here, I was going to settle for a Boox Go 7, not knowing this little device even existed. I also looked at the Viwoods AiPaper Mini, but the combination of outdated screen tech/hardware and an old version of Android killed that idea. The absurd pri

Kobo Libra Colour vs. Onyx Boox Go 7 (or alternatives?) – Looking for advice on annotation & translation workflows

Musnap Ocean or Musnap Ocean C if you want Android. It has the exact same pros as the Go, but it comes with a newer version of Android, a better screen (it's recessed), better hardware, it's faster and more power-efficient, and it has a larger battery. Also, less ghosting/artifacting than any Boox I

musnap ocean bw or boox go 7?

And batteries that swell up after your warranty is over and destroy your screen. Would not recommend boox to anyone. It's a well documented issue. I also don't see having to enable play services as a con. It drains battery. I prefer to enable it once in a while if I need something then being able to

Need advice to choose a new e-reader for my sister.

Pocketbook era lite, or musnap ocean. Pocketbook has nice software but it's kinda slow sadly. If that isn't a big deal it's a decent option. The musnap is pretty recent and has good hardware, better than all the other android ereader alternatives at the same size. Also currently the best battery and

Boox Go 7 Gen 2 Colour advice?

I will just copy and paste what I said on another post since this gets asked a lot. I find boox hard to recommend cause they dont last long and break (serious, just do a little searching and you'll see). It's a well known problem and I come from a place of having owned a lot of different ereaders, i
