I considered getting a Boox Palma because of the size but realized it went against all the reasons I wanted an e-reader in the first place: no distractions and a long battery life. While it's still not as bad as a phone, the fact that it runs on Android means I can download social media apps and end

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

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.

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

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.
