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

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

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

Kobo v kindle

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 (

Viviwoods vs Palma 2

Thank you so much! I was going back and forth between Palma 2 and Palma 2 pro for a long while until I learned about viwoods but after all the comments here and looking through others posts about viwoods I’ve decided to try it! I’m so excited!

My Formal Request For A True A6 Sized Supernote Product (A7 Perhaps)

it's the rM Paper Pro Move. I have no idea why he wanted to be coy about it, but its software, as he says, is nowhere as good as Supernote's. at least the Palma 2 Pro can like, do things, even if its pen input isn't as good.

Reminder to avoid Bigme products (like the plague)

I tried to return my boox Palma 2 Pro and on their website it says customers are eligible for PARTIAL refunds, which I find disgusting. I just sold it on eBay. I didn’t want to do any more business with boox.
