Earlier this year a new brand of ereaders and eNotes started turning up on Amazon under the Musnap name. They run Android, and they appear to be heavily inspired by Onyx’s Boox devices. Two new Musnap ereaders called the Ocean and Ocean C recently turned up for sale on Amazon. Both have 7″ E Ink […]
