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

I am so fed up.

You should try a eink phone it's really so much more comfortable than normal screens. It's the most basic screen you can ever get. Can use it without it's front light and it doesn't have a polarizer. The big me hibreak pro, hibreak s and the minimal phone are the full Google play smartphones that us

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.

Is Boox Palma 2 the only phone/pocketable eink reader that’s not (complete) garbage?

Another newer option is the Durobo Krono. Check their website and You Tube. Got one about 3 weeks ago and really enjoy it

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
