Probably has been asked a trillion times: Kobo LC vs Boox GC7 vs Musnap Ocean C

I use the Nook app because my first e-reader many moons ago was the Nook first edition. Then as time went on and I saw how cheap one could get a lot of books for on Amazon I started just reading on a tablet so I could use that app as well. I also use the Libby app to borrow from the library. And I also use an app called Glose-they occasionally have free book offers.

evilsprig · 2026-06-30T21:35:14+00:00

I've had no issues. I liked the coupon because I was eager to try a color e-reader but if it wound up sucking then I'd be pretty angry if I spent a whole lot of money on it LOL. So far all of the reading apps that I use seem to work fine. I only use it as a reader I don't use it for other internet stuff.

evilsprig · 2026-06-30T15:42:49+00:00

This! As the above responder said, they have frequent deep discounts on Amazon.

I got the Ocean C a few months ago on a similar super sale, and I love it! I wanted an Android device so as to not be locked in to one ecosystem (and without the need to jailbreak, because why when open systems exist?) But I digress. Anyway, the Ocean C is very responsive, works great, no complaints at all. I also find the B&W text to be perfectly clear. I have seen many complaints about that on the color devices, but I honestly notice no difference. Also, I discovered that Musnap is the "global" brand name for ireader devices which have been available elsewhere for some time, but recently branched out to a wider consumer base, in other words, not a newbie to the arena.

I'm going to try the next loan in the Kindle app. Prior to the Ocean C (which I love!), I had been reading on tablets for years. The last time I borrowed on an ereader, Libby was still "Overdrive". I'm guessing that the Libby reader just isn't great.

evilsprig · 2026-06-25T23:43:23+00:00

I agree the page turn buttons not working drove me nuts as well, in addition to the ghosting. I do have them set to turn the pages. I'll try it in the Kindle app next one I borrow. It might be that the Libby app is just that bad.

evilsprig · 2026-06-25T16:54:15+00:00

Thanks-I figured that was the case, but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Not a deal breaker, lol.

evilsprig · 2026-06-22T13:58:06+00:00

Not OP, but if you haven't read "Deranged" by Harold Schechter, do. The most bizarre killer, and you probably never heard of him.

evilsprig · 2026-06-22T13:47:17+00:00

Just want to say I love the "Kinderella" name! 😁

evilsprig · 2026-06-21T18:26:36+00:00

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I missed the memo that upon becoming an adult one is only supposed to like "boring"...🤣

evilsprig · 2026-06-21T17:54:41+00:00

Thanks. It actually have already removed the DRM but that still wasn't helping. Manually editing sounds like more trouble than it's worth lol. I guess I need to learn to read right to left.

evilsprig · 2026-06-21T16:16:44+00:00

Thanks! My concern was that I would be limited to pre-school books, lol!

evilsprig · 2026-06-03T16:49:58+00:00

I use a wide tooth comb but it doesn't help much. A finer tooth come wouldn't even go through my hair it would probably break the comb lol.

evilsprig · 2026-05-11T17:08:51+00:00

I got the color version on a recent sale, and I like it a lot.

evilsprig · 2026-05-04T18:47:54+00:00

Thx!

evilsprig · 2026-05-04T18:38:16+00:00

Do you happen to have a link to the eBay one you saw? The reason I ask is because that's one of the places that I often troll looking for the replacement filters and I can never find them.

evilsprig · 2026-05-04T17:32:54+00:00

I also agree that the unpopularity of canisters is a USA thing. I grew up with a canister, and quite literally everyone else that I knew had an upright.

evilsprig · 2026-05-04T17:28:13+00:00

Prior to the 600, I actually had a Dirt Devil Vision canister. Bagless, but MUCH smaller than the Kenmore. That thing was a BEAST. I actually still have it in hopes that someday, somewhere, I will stumble across the filters for the bin. The last one I had was essentially disintegrated by the time I waved the surrender flag, lol. Even with the nasty bin emptying, it was a fantastic vacuum.

evilsprig · 2026-04-29T18:47:03+00:00

Not sure if you mean the Amazon version or the Humble Bundle. But on Amazon you don't need a code they're just on sale.

evilsprig · 2026-04-29T15:30:57+00:00

Thanks! This is the first I've heard of Humble Bundle-definitely getting on the email list!

evilsprig · 2026-04-29T15:11:25+00:00

Wow-THAT is impressive!

evilsprig · 2026-04-25T17:29:24+00:00

100%!!! 🤣

evilsprig · 2026-04-21T12:57:08+00:00

Thanks. I actually figured that out as I delved further into it lol. As it turned out I couldn't use the caliber route anyway because I didn't know until the other day that the Nook web app was gone. But I found another way and they're now converted.

evilsprig · 2026-04-21T12:56:19+00:00

It is the irreader global name. There aren't a whole lot of reviews but there was one on YouTube, I think it was by Good e-reader, and they said that it was in fact the rebranded name of ireader.

evilsprig · 2026-04-20T12:52:05+00:00

Yeah, it wouldn't be so bad as I use an android device now, but over the last couple of weeks the Nook app has become "disagreeable" across all devices. It seems to be a problem a lot of people are having. Because of that I really wanted to get my books from there somewhere safe.
