Boox Palma Deep Dive and Review

What is this cute little pocket sized e-ink tablet that folks are talking about? It's the Boox Palma, and it's FANTASTIC!! It's a phone sized e-reader that runs Android, so it can be all things to all people . . . well, it can be MOST things to all people. In this video we'll do a deep dive and talk about what is does really well, what it does okay, and what it doesn't do at all. #reading #ebook #booktube #kindle

33:57 My Final Thoughts on the Palma

[Stretch]

Nice way to quickly jump into bed and knock out a chapter or two before bed, without having the ebook reader slam into your face. Having something small enough to hold with one hand, while laying on your side is a major plus! But also, take this on the go, get stuck waiting at the checkout lane, and catch up on a few pages before proceeding. Stuck in an infinite traffic jam heading home from a sports game? Bring it along, and quickly read while stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Needing something that travel easily into the bathroom for some long constitutionals? Bring a Palma in there for some deep thinking. And just like what they say about the smart phone's camera -- it's not how good the camera is, but the fact that it's the one that you always have on hand that makes it so useful. The easier it travels, the more likely it'll be used all the time. Because yes, I already have a Max Lumi 2 (13.3 A4) and a Tab Ultra C (10.3), which work great and do exactly what they are intended to do. Just this will go to more places, since I'm not going to lug them around with me.

I got one a few weeks ago. It's been a bit of a learning curve for me as I've used apple for years. I haven't used it a lot yet, I did take it out today. I left my phone at home and took it with me and enjoyed some reading while I had brunch at my local cafe. Perfect to chuck in my back pocket and less distracting than a phone.

Bought mine yesterday absolutely love it I may not use my kindle anymore we will see I just love sitting back on the sofa one hand with palma the other with my drink 😂

great in-depth review! im debating whether to get the black or white. do you think the white is in the type of material to get yellow in a few years? is it easily dirtied?

Great video! Do you have a video on your mechanical keyboard clicker?

I hate to admit I went nuts with loving Boox devices and have the Palma, Tab Mini C, and Go 7 Color. Now I'm hearing rumors that Amazon may come out with a new Kindle e-reader this month or in the next few months. ugh..Hopefully if it's true, it'll just have buttons and since I still have my Kindle Oasis and Voyage, I don't feel like I'll be tempted by a new Kindle if it's just adding button page turning ability back again. I do love the Palma, it's so convenient.

Trying to be patient for a new Kindle, but the color e-ink Android based devices are very tempting to have access to multiple platforms outside of Kindle.

Any issues with artifacts/ghosting? Seeing some folks that say after like 40-60 days they sometimes see perm burn-in.

interesting choice to only show a few seconds of an actual book page in a 35 minute video about an erader...
