New phone sized ereader

The inkpalms used to be so affordable, now the listings I see on aliexpress approach too closely to boox palma price for it to be bang your buck.

Kindle as an insert in Traveler's notebook

Yes! I purchased a Boox Palma 2 and it slips beautifully into the proprietary TN Regular size, especially when it has a sewn-in pocket on the cover. This helps me be able to unplug and remain portable (bc we all know that books-on-books-on-books is a slippery [and heavy] slope when trying to go anal

Cab anyone reccomend a hand sized eink reader, with buttons?

Xteink x4 — IF you have DRM-free book files and don’t need a front light. No touchscreen or other apps. Has buttons. Very tiny but yet very readable as long as you can handle like around maybe 20 point font and below. Boox Palma 2– can run apps like kobo and kindle, as well as take DRM-free files. T

Ask Me Anything About My E-Ink Tablet Collection

For what you've described, the rMPP would work okay, but like you say battery isn't great - I think I only got around six hours before it needed a recharge. I liked the Viwoods AI Paper Mini for more portable note-taking, and the Supernote Nomad is also decent, however these are around 8", so not re

Reading on a phone sized device

I love reading on my Boox Palma. I was using the Kobo Clara for years but I don’t reach for it anymore.

Pre-2012 Kindles are being bricked

If you want an Android device, go Boox Palma. If you want ultra portable, go Xteink. If you want affordable but larger phone sized, go Moaan. If you want an actual phone that's e-ink, go BigMe.

MP3 player for kids to listen to Libby

Okay this has a screen but it’s e-ink, so may be a better fit for what you’re looking for? The Boox Palma is a small e-reader about the size of a phone, that can have downloaded apps. Basically like the e-ink of an iPod touch. It’s compatible with Libby so your kids could listen through it or even r

I found my long-lost original Game Boy. It survived 6 younger siblings and one of them hot-glued a new screen on. I'd love to mod it to read books on it like a Kindle. Where would you start?

It's not a thing. And it doesn't really make sense anyway, you can buy premade ebook readers like the Boox Palma that will fit in your pocket much better than a Game Boy. If you can fix it up and throw an ips display in there, new shell and buttons but that's the best this device is going to get. An

WANTING A THIRD EREADER

I have a Boox Palma. That is it. To be honest, it sounds like you are more interested in buying another gadget, which is fine. Just be aware of that. I fear you are missing the point of ereader; to read. But, what do I know.
