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

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 (

Can y'all help me understand some of the different technologies used in different Boox tablets?
Is "InkSense Plus" really worse than EMR? there is no straight answer to this because USI accuracy depends on a combination of screen tech and pen. the InkSense Plus pen is capable of accuracy on par with EMR -- better than reMarkable's USI anyway which nearly everyone accepts as being functionally

Disappointed with the boox Palma 2 Pro.
Thanks for this. I’ve been considering selling my Kindle Paperwhite and buying a Palma Pro 2 because the ability to run a good web browser (mainly things like Reddit and Wikipedia) and apps (Discord) appeals to me. But such high costs for a device that’s had more than a few people online post about

Reverse ghosting Tab Mini C
Thanks! I'll reach out to Onyx and see. What really set me off here was seeing I'm not alone: https://www.reddit.com/r/Onyx_Boox/s/J7QCO7eEL0 From what it sounds like, from that post, almost every modern device they've made with a TCON B board is susceptible to this? Perhaps the Palma 2 Pro is exclu

Palma 1/2 (non pro) 2 in 1 case comparison
I like the magnet flap closure of the non-pro Palma cases, tbh. My Palma 2 Pro's magnetic flap is already fraying, whereas my other Palma cases are still in really good shape. I don't like how it doesn't work as a stand. They so could have done both.

HiBreak Pro Color vs. Boox Palma 2 Pro: Does it actually work as a phone replacement?
I bought the Palma 2 pro and hoped that it would be my replacement for all the things eye straining things I do on my phone. After navigating the boox world nightmare of configuration, I ended up getting it set in a way that it became my daily E reader. I dropped it one day on the carpet and it stop
