Over the course of the past few days, the Good e-Reader Store has added a ton of new products. This includes the Amazon Echo Buds, Hisense Pro CC, the Padmu sheet music reader and pre-orders are now available for the Amazon Fire 8 HD and Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus.
The Amazon Echo Buds are only available to be purchased from the main Amazon.com website and they do not sell them outside of the United States. Good e-Reader is now making these noise cancellation and high-definition buds available to our audience, worldwide.
The Hisense Pro CC is the premium version of the Hisense A5C, which should be shipping soon. The Pro CC has a better processor, more RAM and internal storage up to 128GB. It features a single color E INK screen. Hisense is the only phone manufacturer to make color E INK a thing in 2020.
In other Hisense news, the A5c was delayed by Hisense for a couple of weeks, they should be available to ship from the Good e-Reader store in the next week or two. Apologies on the delay.
Padmu has only been around for a few years and they focus on the software side of things to produce a great sheet music experience. They have a hardware deal with Onyx Boox for the 13.3 MAX 3 and Padmu produces cases that allow you to order one reader or two and have them magnetically attach to each other. You can connect up foot pedals or any other Bluetooth accessory to the Padmu, to turn pages. It also comes with a stylus so you can edit existing sheet music with annotations or notes, or create your own compositions.
