BOOXPalma 2 Mobile ePaper eBook Reader Fingerprint Recognition Smart Button Dual Microphones (Dark Green Black)

I’ve had another e-reader for about 10 years. I loved the E Ink display—it’s so much easier on the eyes—but I always hated that it was bulkier than my phone. Because of that, I often found myself just reading on my phone instead.Eventually, I decided to take a leap and try the Palma 2. Yes, it's definitely on the more expensive side, but it’s been a game changer for me.What I Love:Ultra-slim and light: It’s so compact that it feels like carrying a phone, not a bulky e-reader.App flexibility: You can download all your favorite reading apps, thanks to full access to the Google Play Store.Customization: It’s completely customizable in terms of layout, apps, and functionality.Best E Ink screen I’ve come across: Includes a yellow light option for night reading and even a no-light option.Physical buttons: You can use the volume buttons to turn pages, which is incredibly satisfying and useful.Battery life: Better than a phone. I get about a week and a half of constant reading out of it.A Few Drawbacks:Price: It’s more expensive than other e-readers. If size isn’t an issue for you, the cheaper brands may still be a better value.Occasional glitches: It can freeze sometimes and takes effort to reset when that happens.Fingerprint sensor issues: Mine never worked properly, even after resets.Would I Buy It Again?Absolutely. For someone like me—who prefers reading on a phone due to size and portability—it’s the perfect in-between. But if you’re already comfortable with traditional e-readers and don’t mind the bulk, a less expensive model might make more sense.
