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.

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

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

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

Did anyone switch to Palma 2 from pro?
Really? actually front light is the reason why I’m l considering switching to 2 or viwood. I use Palma pro as an e reader only and screen is too dark I think

How to activate amber light on 10.3 Go (Gen II) Lumi
Can you also do this for the Palma 2 pro? It has a weirdly blue/purple “warm” light.

I believe the best thinking happens away from your desk. There's no right tool for it yet.
It is, but I'm approving it this one time because this project is actually productive if it gets off the ground. The closest things to this that exist are the rMPPM (too big), the Palma 2 Pro (OK but Kaleido 3/bad contrast) and the Bigme Dual (trash Bigme software, not even out yet).

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

The durobo krono is literally a boox.. lol
I just mean that as in the display modes seem the same. The Palma 2 pro has a weird effect in fast mode and it's on this one too. Which epd app are you talking about though?
