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

How about some Links Awakening on an eReader?

Heh, eInk is one way to emulate the crappy refresh/blur on the original GB screen… [Boox Palma 2 + original NES controller with 8bitdo Bluetooth mod kit]

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

Milyen 50 ezer forint alatti vásárlásotoknak lett tartósan pozitív hatása az életetekre?

Egy telefon méretű ebook olvasó Aliról, 40-50e között lehetett az ára. Belefér a zsebembe, egy kézzel is könnyű tartani, utazás közben legalább olvasok és nem a telefonom nyomkodom. Nem egy csúcskategóriás modell, a Boox Palma jobban néz ki de annyit nem adtam volna egy második olvasóért.

I don't get why the Minimal Phone gets so much backlash

i have one. it's a POS. the screen is absolutely terrible. there are other phones out there will good E Ink screens. But MP isn't one of them. The keyboard is bad. It's not as bad as the screen. but it's much worse than the Unihertz T2. and not something I want to type emails on. MP also shipped a y

Me, watching all the beautiful e-readers here and wanting to buy more, when I already have one

I started with a nook, second hand, that crapped out after a year or so. Then came the kindle. I hated being locked into the Amazon ecosystem so I got a boox Palma 2. I loved it, but was scared to lose or damage it so it stays home. So I get an xteink x4 for taking on the town and it’s great! Finall

Books for Analog Doomscrolling

Somewhat related to this question, about six months ago I bought a mini e-ink reader that is the same size as a phone (Onyx Boox Palma) and it's been really good for my phone scrolling. Because I just take it with me pretty much anywhere I take my phone so I always have the option to read on e-ink.

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
