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

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?

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

Boox team listen up - here's why USI 2.0 is dreadful
Did everyone else have a completely different experience than me with the inksense plus and their palma 2 pro? Sure, the texture feels fine, but the ability to pick up all pen strokes, details, and be completely responsive and fine-tuned was completely absent. the delay in starting lines from when t

Is Boox Palma 2 the only phone/pocketable eink reader that’s not (complete) garbage?
I was hoping to use it with the stylus for some note taking and reading while on public transportation. I was in Germany when I bought it, and I believe the Palma 2 Pro + stylus + case cost me around 440$. Despite it being considered a very high end product, I had massive ghosting issues, it was ver

Disappointed with the boox Palma 2 Pro.
I really don’t recommend buying the Palma 2 Pro. It’s $400 (I just sold it and got $309 back, but that’s still a hundred dollar loss) I have a paperwhite and while the color on the Palma Pro is nice, the screen is way too blue and the ghosting is worse than kindle’s. I don’t know if you’ve tried the

Anyone have both the palma 2 and palma 2 pro?
I have both and ill say if you use the front light at all times then thats not gonna be an issue and the front light does seem less harsh which I wonder if the color filter just absorbs more of the light? The colors arent the greatest. It does appear more smoother when scrolling but I dont like that

This is the Boox Mira Pro Color
That's the b&w one I have but none of the modes have that horrible smearing. What firmware version are you on? All of that is setup correctly and has nothing to do with the smearing, it's the firmware sadly. The Palma 2 pro also uses the same smearing thing while Palma 2 doesn't. It appears to be so

Palma 2 Super Refresh: Great at First, Then Background Slowly Darkens
I’ve thought about that too. But other people have had issues with this as well. (I suspect the ones who say they don’t have the problem just aren’t using actively scrolling apps like Reddit or ChatGPT.) I don’t think the Palma 2 will be produced anymore, since the Palma 2 Pro is out. Will the black
