5.0 out of 5 stars Portable, perfect, pricey
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2024
Super lightweight and portable because it's the size of a smartphone. Great resolution and detail for reading when using regal or HD display settings, or fast refreshing for browsing or video. Display has a light that the brightness and color temp can be automatic or manual. Android OS allows for using your favorite apps, like Libby and Kindle (and I also use an app to control my home devices like my wifi lights). Device has a back camera, but one drop and the camera glass is already shattered on mine. I like having this little device with me to allow me to read with little distraction and save my phone battery. It's wonderful for reading outside in the sun! If it wasn't exactly what I was wanting, the price would be too much. I hope it lasts!

I opted to purchase this to save the battery on my iPhone. It works incredibly well. The battery life is great. I like the fact it is the same size as my iPhone and that it is light and pocket size. It pairs well with my AirPods and connects effortlessly with WiFi and the internet. If you are looking for a small device to use by the pool that works well in the sun, this is the device for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really Good - And a Bit Disappointing
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2024
I really like this product and struggled with giving it either 4 or 5 stars - it's very good and I expect I will be using it quite a bit.

Overall: If you want a small format e-reader that can work across virtually any document type or e-reader service, this is a great device. That's what it's intended for and, in that arena, it does a great job. As a bonus, you get the full Android operating system and ability to run any of those apps (though many will not work well on a monochromatic screen like this). I was hoping for a good note-taking experience, but it does not provide that.

What's good: This product is, essentially, an e-reader. Like a Kindle or other black and white screen device. For that capacity, alone, it is very good. I can read my books every bit as clearly as I can on a phone, tablet or my Kindle e-reader. What makes it a bit better is that it comes with a full Android operating system so you can add any other apps you want. If you need to read on different e-readers, no problem. If you want to read work document by loading something like Word, PowerPoint, etc - also no problem. The form factor is also very nice (assuming you want a smaller e-reader). It's a bit smaller than my mobile phone, much lighter, and easier on the eye for reading.

What's okay: Although this device, in my opinion, is meant more for consuming textual information than anything else, you can do more. Surfing the web, watching video content and listening to audio content are all possible. I expect that watching videos, however, is a pretty poor experience (stick with your phone or tablet for that). You could also load and play games but, again, a color display is going to be a better experience. A more realistic scenario may be just responding to emails or creating quick bits of text when needed.

What's bad: The only thing I was hoping for was that it would do at least reasonably well that it doesn't really do well at all, is allow me take handwritten notes. I can download popular note-taking apps (I use OneNote) without a problem. But the screen is intended for touch input and, so far, the only stylus I've found that works with it is the rubber-tipped ones that aren't really good for taking notes. The manufacturer didn't mention note taking, thus my conundrum of 4 vs 5 stars. It seems like, however, that a slight update to this device would make it massively helpful for quickly scratching notes into it whenever / wherever you need.

Pros:
The boox palma eReader boasts an exceptional form factor, striking the perfect balance between compactness and readability. Despite its small size, the device offers an immersive reading experience that rivals larger eReaders on the market.

One of its standout features is the integration of all major reading apps, including Kobo, Kindle, Hoopla, and Libby, into a single e-ink device. This convenience allows users to access a vast library of eBooks from different platforms without needing multiple devices.

Additionally, the eReader supports the installation of various apps, but it's advisable to refrain from installing social media apps to maintain focus on reading. This emphasis on concentration enhances the reading experience and promotes a distraction-free environment.

Cons:
However, the main drawback of this device is its price, which may be considered expensive compared to other eReaders with similar features. Despite its impressive capabilities, the higher cost might deter some potential buyers from investing in this device.

I just received this Boox Palma a few days ago and I’ve already fallen in love with it. I bought it to replace my aging Kindle. So far it has far exceeded my expectations. As an e-reader, it’s amazing, especially when using the light to read in bed at night. I’ve also started using it for reading email and news in the morning. I would normally use my iPhone for checking emails and reading the news first thing in the morning. After switching to this device, it has significantly reduced the eye strain that I have felt after using my phone for two or three hours a day. I am probably looking at my phone about an hour a day now, the home screen took a while to figure out and it took a while to sync, my Gmail, but those are the only two issues I’ve had and I wouldn’t call them issues. They’re more like inconveniences. The battery life is great on Sunday. I used it for three or four hours as a e-reader , and it only used about 35% of the battery. Highly recommend this device if you were looking for a replacement reader and an alternative device to your phone for reading email and the news.
