BOOX Palma2 モバイル電子ペーパー電子書籍リーダー 指紋認識 スマートボタン デュアルマイク ブラック

Amazing device for what it does! It is small enough to fit in my pocket or a small bag and bring wherever I want. The screen looks great when outside or in direct light as well as when in the dark (it has a backlight that turns on automatically). I personally use this for reading occasionally as well as a device for listening to music and setting alarms. I keep it in my bedroom with me most of the time, and rarely ever need to charge it because it uses so little battery life when not in use. I've had it for more 6 months and really only charge it every other week or so. Also, since it runs regular Android, you can install basically whatever you want on it. I have spotify download, and also a couple light games.

I'm impressed. Blown away, actually. I haven't been this excited about a new device since I bought my first Kindle (a second-generation one) in 2009, and for considerably more money. The Palma 2 is revolutionary. It's also a truly elegant and thoughtfully designed device. If you're considering getting one, you can already imagine why I like it so much. I assure you that I'm not disappointed in any way. It's everything I'd hoped: very speedy, extremely nice to look at, a pleasure to read on in daylight and in the dark. It runs all of my Android apps. I even like the native on-screen keyboard. Some reviewers report having rushed to install Gboard, but I've found the native keyboard to be excellent. I initially thought it didn't have the multi-clipboard feature, but it does! As far as I'm concerned, the Boox keyboard is superior to Gboard. To give an example of a feature it has that I believe Gboard lacks: when you want to use square brackets, the Boox keyboard gives you both brackets with a tap on one key ( [] ) and positions your cursor between the two so that you can immediately enter text there. I have wanted this feature for a long time! [EDIT: I need to walk my endorsement of the native keyboard back a bit, because the dictionary that it uses for predictive text input is atrocious. Unusable. Laughable. Boox really needs to provide a usable predictive text input service. Also, there doesn't seem to be any autocorrect.] I've been similarly impressed with the native reading app, NeoReader. It's elegant and highly functional. I'd been planning to use Readera or Moon+ Reader, but now I'm pretty sure that I'm going to be fine with just NeoReader, even though unfortunately it's a "system app" that's not available for installation on other Android devices. I think Boox should sell both NeoReader and the keyboard in the Play Store. A year or two ago I might have hesitated to buy this kind of device from a Chinese company, but in light of what our own government is doing right now with the complicity of the tech bros--and also our alignment with Russia, our punishing of our allies and our pardoning of violent criminals--I no longer feel any added degree of safety limiting myself to American-branded tech products. It's sad but true. No American company offers anything like the Palma 2, anyway. They should. My only caveat would be that this is not a device for people who don't like to think about any settings or options when it comes to technology. There's a bit of a learning curve to an Android device with an e-ink display. People like me enjoy the novelty and experimentation, but I realize not everyone does. If you're familiar with Android and like it, or if you know you wouldn't mind learning it to get what the Palma 2 has to offer, I don't think you'll regret buying one. One reviewer here calls the Palma 2 an e-ink phone. It's not a phone. It has everything a phone does except for cellular connectivity. That's made crystal clear in the product information and in every online review, so if you still think it's a phone you haven't done your homework yet. I couldn't recommend the Palma 2 more highly. A final note: There aren't many cases available specifically for the Palma 2, and none of the ones I found appealed to me at all. I decided to go with a pouch-style universal smartphone case with a zipper. That way there's nothing on the device when I'm reading. I'm going to be very careful not to drop it, because if I chipped or cracked it I don't think I'd be able to resist buying a new one!

The Boox Palma 2 is an amazing E reader with alot of features and customize abilities. This is not a color E reader but is still functional all the same. You can change the font, screensavers and tons more. I recommend if you're having any trouble with features, ghosting etc you find a YouTube video to assist. I've been able to read on this reader for over a week without needing a charge & it has Bluetooth as well so you listen to audio books. Fits in the palm of your hand, great device for travel, highly recommend. Android system so you can download any apps, KU, Pinterest even games.

It's pretty expensive for what it is, but it is a joy to read on this device and having so much capability with an e-ink screen is great.

I was genuinely excited to get the Boox Palma during the July Prime Days, but my experience has been mixed. The size is fantastic, and the screen quality is solid. I really love being able to use multiple reading apps on a single device. That flexibility is a major plus. Unfortunately, the performance has been disappointing. The device is quite slow, and the Kindle app crashes frequently, often requiring a full restart. Audiobooks should be an option, but a security setting appears to prevent them from working. What’s frustrating is that the instructions and online guidance reference settings and options that simply don’t exist on my device, making troubleshooting difficult. I use it almost daily, but I expected a smoother and more reliable experience.
