Anyone waiting for the Boox Picco?
I bought the xteink x4 and sold it 2 weeks later. The screen was fine, but I prefer using reading apps like Kindle or Kobo without having to strip the DRM from the files or pirate books. I bought a Durobo Krono (I considered a Palma 2 and the Viwoods) and I'm thrilled with it. The battery lasts 2 we

I can never go back to LED
For context, I'm a tech freak an compulsive buyer, so I'm not a good exemple. For 10.3-ish I bought : Viwoods Aipaper (for note taking and productivity) BOOX Note Air 5C(for overall media consumption without too much distractions). I bought the Boox first, but I prefer the Viwoods. More focused, bes

Pocked sized readers
if you need a boox palma BW take a look at durobo with their krono. It's an alternative made by a European company, but the screen is made by onyx (and google even recognises it as a boox device) It has a similar issue as the viwoods since it has AI functions, but it's the closest thing to a BW palm

Recommend smartphone form factor Eink please
Ive recently picked up the Durobo Krono which Ive been impressed with. Essentially a Boox Palma 2 (b&w) with a few differences such as scroll wheel, no camera, newer but more stripped back Android.

Pocket-sized ereader - anything you’d recommend?
In January I bought the DuRoBo Krono which I absolutely love. It's basically a phone sized android tablet with black & white eink screen. The eink screen is very clear and there is a dimmable front light. So as well as its inbuilt ebook reader and audio player it allows downloading apps from the Goo

Best E-ink phone or phone sized tablet for on-screen typing in google docs?
typing in Google Docs on a phone sized screen is already a little iffy. to me you would want something much bigger than this. I can tell you the Palma 2 will be completely fine for the kind of thing you want to do; it's hard to source now because Durobo bought them all up and turned them into Kronos

(Nearly) Palm Sized Device
You could try the Durobo Krono. It’s essentially a Palma 2 with Android 15 and a scroll wheel. I have one and am very happy with it.

Android version 11/12 on Note devices, worried about future compatability
if you can go with a small (phone sized) screen, durobo released their krono device that has android 15. It's a Dutch company if you want to stick to European companies

new palma 2 from amazon arrived damaged
You might consider looking into a Durobo Krono. It’s very similar to a Palma 2. Check their website and Sub-reddit. I bought one a few months ago because I couldn’t find a Palma 2. Also, the Krono has Android 15. It’s a pretty sweet device!
