Boox Palma. You would need something with enough power to handle that. Maybe you can find the first one secondhand.

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

Having trouble justifying spending $500... college student here.
If you want to get just once device, I would recommend putting as much money into an iPad as you can. You can read on an iPad just fine, and it will be beneficial for writing and typing as well. I have a few eink tablets as well as a few iPads. The eink devices are slow to the point of being frustra

my one page review of writing on the Go 10.3 Gen II
Well, I wish they implemented this on Palma 2 Pro. It might become a very good opponent to the RMPPM with this. Honestly, I didn't even consider buying it, but after each reviews I see, I keen to buy it. If I had seen this device earlier this year, I may not have even bought the Kindle Scribe 2025 (

Devs adding built-in payment system.. why???
As a reader I agree, RR has an awesome reader that works great on my Boox Palma, Patreon is NOT a reading app, it just pretends to be one and I cancelled multiple subscriptions because I couldn't stand reading on their platform. RR creates the superior product and seemingly treats authors fairly, I'

Why are you buying Android-based e-readers?
Boox website for me. I like the Boox palma a lot and use it as a phone before I go to bed, because I read on other platforms (browsers!!) and having the versatility of full android support is nice. Eink is easy on the eyes and that's why we like to read on eink devices. Yes, it's true that I could i

Are there eink android tablets with 8gb of ram?
believe there's one from Bigme. you extremely do not want it. other than that the Boox Palma 2 Pro has 8GB but of course that's too small for this use case. we have similar uses; the ones I would consider for this are the Note Air 5C or either 13" device from Boox. all have the keyboard case option

More ram in upcoming models?
there's only one device from Boox with 8GB RAM, and it is ironically the Palma 2 Pro which is also their smallest. imo they should standardize on 8GB but this is a tricky market to make that argument.

Boox go 6 is now one of my favourite for reading!
So cute! Twosheep has some really lovely magnetic cases for this model on aliexpress. I was debating returning my Palma 2 in exchange for this because the form factor is just so much better, but I ultimately decided against it as the specs on the former are obviously more current and for not that mu
