Reverse ghosting Tab Mini C
yeah, this guy is sort of-kind of on the right track but he goes off the rails thinking that everything TCONB is problematic. a lot of TCONB devices are out there, not just Onyx, and none of them have this issue. this doesn't happen with the TCONB Tab Ultra C Pro (from around the same time as the TM

Kobo v kindle
You’re not missing out on anything. People ride Boox hard but they’re just as shady as Amazon. Devices are charged up the ass. You can only get PARTIAL refunds on devices you decided didn’t work for you. The Palmas are known to be fragile, or you see more posts online about devices easily breaking (

Terrible customer service: they don't accept any return. Meaning you'll get robbed !
Buy from Amazon. I return the Boox Palma Pro 2 without a blink of an eyelid

Palma 2 is awesome
Oooh sh… So sorry to read that. Yeah, that's a shame that such a pricy device is so fragile. The design is obviously flawed on that front. I have the impression that other Onyx tablets are way more solid and resistant than the Palma. Screen aside, the whole device and its lightweight plastic feel ki

Looking for Boox Palma 2
I believe they are discontinuing it to push Palma 2 Pro sales. Boox tends to do that.

Do you guys think the next gen will have front light?
The Boox Palma is one of my alternative choice too, but it is indeed too expensive, though I suppose if you look at it as a secondary phone purchase, it might take the sting out a little. Though ultimately I do still prefer the shorter height of the xteink.

Small e-reader, which one?
The boox palma to me is overpriced for what it is. I would look at the bigme b6 if its avaliable. The size is a little wider and shorter but still six inch, to me its a more natural format, the palma screen is too narrow to me. There also a boox go 6 but its kinda slow, but if you are using it for r

I need the X4 with Android.
The Boox Palma is a 6" smartphone-sized eInk device powered by Android. It's unfortunately just four or five times more expensive than the X4. The X4 is powered by a really low power microcontroller that can basically just handle updating the display, reading ePub files off an SD card, and some basi

Alguien tiene un e-reader distinto a Kindle y Kobo?
Yo tengo el Onyx Boox Go 6 y no está tan mal, pero esos 2 GB de RAM lo hacen muy lento. Por ejemplo, entre encenderlo y poder abrir un libro se demora 1 minuto :c, y eso genera que mientras espero agarre el teléfono y ya no use el e-reader. De haber sabido eso, me habría quedado con el Kindle, aunqu

The Boox Palma 2 is incredibly fragile and should be avoided
This is actually why I went with a Go 7 instead of a Palma. The Palma size is only beneficial because it is portable but eink devices are so fragile that you should never travel with it. I had gotten about a good 2 years out of my Note Air 3 because I never took it away from my home. It had a dedica
