Best of both worlds 😅

I’m finding the Musnap Ocean C the best of most worlds. It has color, or you can turn color off to make the whole device black and white. It has the Google Play store for the Kindle, Libby, Kobo, Hoopla, and B&N apps. A pen is available, there’s a nice case, it’s also very lightweight. The only thin

Pocketbook, Bigme, Musnap?

I have the Musnap ocean 7 inch and it's fantastic. Snappy android experience. Great ereader. Haven't tried their color devices though

Looking for e-reader with Libby, dictionary, side buttons & article reading (7–8 inch)

The Musnap Ocean is a good device and usually discounted on Amazon. It’s an Android device with buttons so you can install all the reading and news apps.

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

Are there any good 7 inch bw options right now?

I like my Musnap Ocean quite a lot. Carta 1300, very snappy processor, very basic skin of android. It is also frequently on sale and is generally the cheapest option with physical page turn buttons. It also has a recessed screen which I think gives it more clarity.

Why are B/W button devices dying out?

So there's a few solid options. The cheapest 7 inch with buttons and Carta 1300 is the Musnap Ocean, which is usually on sale. Very basic android but works well. Pen input sucks if you care but that's how it is on all of the 7 inch devices with capacitive stylus I've used. Higher end from a more rep

Libby user looking for an e-reader

Out of those, I only have experience with my boox go 7 (monochrome), which I love. That being said I’ve heard it’s not great for note taking (which I don’t do), I think the go 6 has a much better note taking experience. From what I can gather musnap ocean is pretty similar, with a newer version of a

Polished vs unpolished software: does it matter to you?

I've got the Musnap Ocean and yeah the software is a bit unpolished and has some very weird bugs. I decided to keep mine cuz the bugs it has don't really affect the reading experience. Still annoying though.

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
