Anyone else kinda disappointed by the Boox “launch”?

I wanted an 8-inch monochrome device without BSR, 8GBs RAM, and 128GB ROM :c I don't understand the reasoning behind giving 8GB RAM to a 6-inch device (Palma 2 Pro) but that's just me

What would a solarpunk smartphone with today's tech be like?

This is more of an aesthetics & functionality answer than a best-business-practices one (though I would also like to see more companies with Fairphone-esc business practices of course), but I've been really fixated on this same question lately and this is the answer I've been gravitating toward: Har

Palma 2 Pro, P6 Pro, Palma 2 - Warm light comparison

Is your picture accurate to what you see with the naked eye? It looks like only the Palma 2 has a pleasant warm light. The Palma 2 Pro has an unpleasant red tint and the Palma P6 Pro doesn’t even look warm, although it does look good. I wonder how the Viwoods Reader compares in temperature.

Palma2 Pro, Palma2, and Viwoods Reader

The color screen on the Palma 2 Pro is terrible, I’m returning mine. The display is dark, grainy, and the battery barely lasts a day because the backlight has to stay on constantly. Without the light, the screen is practically unusable. This shows that color screen technology just isn’t ready for ev

Does Palma pro makes your eyes tired?

Please be just pure, evil troll, please... Basically using your eyes tires them. Not to mention reading high contrast pen/text on paper in dim-lit place, do not use paper to get your eyes feel refreshed :p. Please refrain from believing in everything that any LLM outputs. Palma 2 pro has an rink scr

The Boox Palma 2 is incredibly fragile and should be avoided

Unfortunately even putting the Palma in your pocket (I’m assuming it was your pants pocket) can cause pressure to be applied to the screen or bend the device enough to crack the screen. I’ve owned 2 Palmas (Gen 1 & then recently upgraded to Palma 2 Pro) and have always carried it everywhere with me

Kobo or Boox: Which did you choose? FAQ feedback appreciated.

I have a Boox Palma 2 pro and a Kobo Libra Colour. I was thinking yesterday how I wish I had an ereader that was both combined. So now I’m looking at the Boox go 7 lol. My main thing I love about the Boox is it runs android so I can copy and paste a quote directly into StoryGraph without switching d

Making do

The Palma 2 Pro feels more polished and reading-oriented with a color screen and stylus support, while the HiBreak Pro line is more versatile as a phone plus reader hybrid. If reading and annotations are your priority, Palma 2 Pro edges ahead. If you want full daily-phone capability in an E Ink devi

Disappointed with the boox Palma 2 Pro.

Yes it is known issue. Palma 2 Pro vs Palma 2 front light comparison https://youtu.be/wX5mjH18sR8 I have Nova Air C (Kaleido 2), which has much better warm/cold lighting. It was much more confortable than Palma 2 Pro (Kaleido 3). Assuming that the frontlights are built in to the eink panel, I wonder
