I think I’m giving up on my Palma
the original Palma has had a lot of issues since it was released. the Palma 2 pretty much no one has problems with, the Palma 2 Pro either.

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

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

Case or no case with your Boox?
Manufacturing lottery is my guess, remember, first batch in production is bad, last batch in production is bad, anything in the middle of production is usually the high-quality stuff. I'm using a caseless palma 2 pro that I've dropped 3 times and hit on the corner of the desk once and it's fine so f

New wekind case for Boox Palma is on the wayyy
Palma 2 Pro has handwriting capabilities, while the 6 inch or 7 Go doesnt (as far as I know). I'm looking to get a Palma 2 Pro because I want something more portable than my Go 10.3. And so I'm considering this case for the Palma. Does that make sense? And some people just enjoy the aesthetic of the

You’re not missing out on anything. People ride Boox hard but they’re just as shady as Amazon. Devices are charged up the ass. You can only get PARTIAL refunds on devices you decided didn’t work for you. The Palmas are known to be fragile, or you see more posts online about devices easily breaking (

Seamlessly scrolling Reddit?
These devices have really fast refresh speeds that makes scrolling very close to normal screens:- Bigme Hibreak Pro, Plus and their S model- Viwoods Reader- Boox Palma 2, 2 Pro, P6- Durobo Krono (im using this currently) its basically a non color stripped down version of the palma 2 pro that imo loo

Failed Boox Palma 2 Screen
"multiple reports of failing screens without physical damage" is not what happens with these, no. when damage happens you frequently don't see it at first because the screen hasn't tried to refresh yet. it also doesn't sound like screen damage is the only thing that happened to this device as it cra

Boox Palma 2 Pro vs Go Color 7
I have a Palma 2 Pro and a Go 7 (bw). I love the form factor of the Palma and use it pretty much exclusively. It took a few days for my sense of proportion to adjust from the Go width to the Palma narrow but now that I’ve adjusted I don’t even notice the proportions. I put a Popsocket on the Palma a

e-ink e-readers, why so hard to find a good one?
- BOOX Tab Ultra C Pro- Bigme B751C- Onyx Boox Palma 2 Pro are some that come to my mind. Personally I'm a fan of Palma but this form factor is not for everyone.
