BOOX Palma 2 Pro モバイル電子ペーパー電子書籍リーダー 8G 128G デジタルペーパー 150PPI カラーモード(ブラック)

my first onyx device. expected an eReader with shell apps that relied on play-store to provide further features. this however is a well thought out device with great software: included boox apps are capable & full feature. reader & notes apps are simply outstanding. the included book store offers a wealth of easily access to old reads and surfaced many i haven't come across prior such as turn of the century (19th) apprenticeship directed materials (watch making for instance). play-store apps have been mix: ones that are made for eInk, great; those with customizable display settings, some work require; basic apps, not so good. also found basic audio apps worked well (audible audio books) however this doesn't support hi-res music -- basic aac256 was fine on both built-in music app with purchased tracks and apple music app with streaming or downloaded tracks (both BT & basic usb-c dac). hi-res played just didn't perform or sound good. palms3 promises faster cpu & screen but it's also only 6GB ram vs this 8GB & color. bought this because didn't want another tablet and did want access to third party apps (bible software mainly .. works great .. and music). also wanted color however this does reminds me of hp-ipaq (pre smartphone days) with washed out color and it is notably slower than top tier phones .. so be prepared. overall been very impressed and happily would purchase again.

𝗦𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: I wanted something smaller and less bulky than an iPad for quick notes on the go, and the Palma 2 Pro fits that perfectly. It's phone-sized, light, and easy to keep with me all day. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆: The E Ink screen is easy on the eyes and great for reading and jotting things down without the glare of a regular screen. With the frontlight on, it looks perfect. Without it, readability gets a little iffy, but that's true of most e-readers. 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: There's some pinhole light bleeding at various brightness levels. Honestly, you won't notice it unless the screen is completely black. From what I've seen, it seems to be a quirk of these panels in general rather than a problem with my specific unit. 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹: If you want a compact E Ink companion for notes and light reading, the Palma 2 Pro is a great choice. The light bleed is a small trade-off that barely affects everyday use.

I was so scared to buy this! I bit the metaphorical bullet and got it because I really tend to read a lot on my phone in the dark, and it was giving me migraines. The price could be much better; however, I wanted very specific features that only the Boox Palma 2 could provide. I wanted something where I could read online (AO3, mostly) and download different reading apps easily. I also wanted it to be phone-sized, so this was basically the only option I found. You can get the black-and-white one if you want something cheaper; I just didn't want to wait for it, to be honest. After the stress of fiddling with settings I didn't understand, it didn't take long for me to get used to it (they aren't too complicated once you get the hang of it, and once you get the settings where you want, you don't have to bother with them much). I don't regret getting it. Give yourself time to get familiar with it. The only Con for me is that I wish there were a page turner button on the right side of the device.

The Boox Palma 2 Pro feels like a high-quality, responsive e-reader in the hand, and the hardware itself seems very nice. However, I bought this specifically for its cellular capabilities, and it has been a massive disappointment. When I insert my pre-activated SIM card, the device clearly recognizes it, registers on the network, shows my correct phone number, and even displays a clear 5G signal symbol -- but absolutely nothing goes through. No data traffic works and no calls can be made (yes, they added calls and messages in this recent update). The device even automatically pulls the correct APN settings directly from the SIM card, but despite that, Verizon’s network is clearly blocking the connection due to a strict hardware/IMEI restriction. For a $400 device, lacking functional cellular data out of the box makes it essentially useless for my on-the-go needs. To make matters worse, trying to reach out for a solution was a headache because the official support submission link leads to a 404 error page. I have managed to submit a ticket through their standard contact form and the built-in feedback tool. If their support team responds with a functional firmware patch to fix this US network issue, I will gladly update this review. Until then, be warned if you plan to use this on a Verizon-linked network.

I couldn't be more in love, I adore this device! I can't speak highly enough of Boox as a company and all of their devices. I'm always impressed and this device is perfection. Excellent size for my pocket or small bag. Ideal portability if you're looking for a "phone sized" e-ink experience. Fantastic timing and responsiveness. Works seamlessly! It's the cutest and feels amazing in my hands. I never want to put it down, I take it everywhere with me. Connects to everything I've requested, and I especially love that it takes both my data SIM and sd external storage at the same time! Also super easy to set up and customize. I couldn't ask for more!
