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.

The Boox Palma 2 is incredibly fragile and should be avoided

This is not exclusive to boox Palma. All eink displays are fragile. That's why I bought a tempered glass screen protector

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

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

We’re All in ‘Dark Mode’ Now. How light-on-black became a way of life

I would kill for a nice eink phone. I thought the boox Palma would have a cell radio in it but unfortunately it does not.

Boox palma phone might be coming soon :o

The problem is their software updates. I think it’s fine for an e-reader device to have older software as long as the apps for it still work, but I do think there’s a line there between e-reader and phone. Personally, I wouldn’t want to use a phone that isn’t using at least year old or newer softwar

Why do these devices all have such terrible touch encoders?

... except there is no such thing as a capacitive touchscreen encoder. These touchscreens usually use an off-the-shelf IC which communicate with Android via i2c, and I've never heard of "using rejects"--they either work or they don't, and the rejected ones are almost 100% bad. Always do your own res

April 2025, what ereader is the most worth it?

I personally would advise against buying any Boox products. Bought a Palma 2 in January and the screen started developing lines, when I contacted customer service I was told that this was due to my mishandling of the device, that the lines were caused by me - repair would cost more than half the dev
