BOOX Palma 2 Mobile ePaper eBook Reader Fingerprint Recognition Smart Button Dual Microphones (White)

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.

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.

Fantastic E-reader. Don’t pay attention to the negative reviews here complaining about not having the kindle app. The people that left those reviews clearly don’t understand that this is an android based device, very different from Kobo, nook, or Kindle. All apps available to android devices (to my knowledge) are available on this device due to its use of android and the google play store. All you have to do is login to your google account (YouTube, Gmail, etc.) and you will be able to download any ebook app you desire. Personally I don’t like the included ebook app NeoReader. It’s a completely fine app, however every time you lock the device it resets the app from the current book back to the shelf. This may be an option that I’m missing in settings, but I prefer that when I open my ebook apps, that they automatically re-open the last book I was reading. Instead of NeoReader, I side loaded an app called KoReader. I’ve used this before on Samsung phones and really liked it. The one negative I can find about the device is the finger print reader. It’s not a terrible fingerprint reader, I just have frequent fingerprint read fails and I just have to lift my finger and reposition it. Not a huge problem, but something to consider. Battery life is great, only if you keep WiFi and Bluetooth off. With both on, the battery drains quickly and will probably only last a day or two. With both turned off, I would have gotten 5+ days, but I recharged it on the 5th day just because I wanted to make sure it would last while at work. I have a Kobo Libra 2, however that has been relegated to the shelf since this device is just so convenient and powerful! I love that I can put it in my pants pocket and take it everywhere I go, something I cannot do with larger ereaders.

Really like it! Very versatile and looks beautiful. It can adjust refresh rate for each app individually: slow and crisp for reading, smooth for browsing. And easy to zoom in, rescale or switch to horizontal mode, so that pdf with small letters are readable. Battery life is good, 3 days with refreshing clock screen protectors and not automatically switched off.

I will start by saying I love this ereader. It’s such a perfect size, and I am happy with the screen. I enjoyi can use multiple apps on it, including Libby. While 99.9% of my books are kindle books, I like having the option of other formats. It’s fairly quick to access apps (slower than a phone, faster than my kindle). I took away a Star though because it does freeze up/glitch out more often than my kindle. The pages turn nice and quickly, but the size does leave more room for error (my fingers not turning the page even though the page refreshes). If it didn’t glitch/freeze so often, and if the pages turned more easily, I’d give it 5 stars.

Annoyed!!! Screen is barely responsive. The "camera" is glitching and just flashing on the screen. Can't get out of it without a restart. Amazon customer service sucks! They want me to return the item and then wait for the refund and not have a device either. So I'm out of my money and the device and just left with nothing for who knows how long. For over $300 I want things to work & they don't. I want to throw it up against a wall! All the covers to the books are super dark can barely even read the titles. I should have bought a different device this is garbage. Other buyers don't make this mistake as well get something better thats cheaper too. Not worth the money. P.S. - Item is NOT new! When first turned on went straight to the home screen there was no set up at all like when you purchase new electronics. An all around BAD PURCHASE! Buyer beware probably a refurb or one that was previously returned due to issues described. If I return it they will just sell it again and someone else will be seriously frustrated.

One of the best e-readers I’ve ever owned! Compact, long battery life, and has amazing storage. The fact that it’s an Android powered device is an added bonus. I love the convenience it gives me, where I don’t need to carry my laptop and bigger e-reader everywhere. And reading, late at night is amazing with the soft backlight, and I can change the intensity of it if I wanted. No more reading headaches. 10/10!

I love the size and portability of this e-reader—it’s lightweight, fast, and great for reading on the go. The display is usually clear, and the smartphone-style design is convenient. However, the screen often becomes blurry, and ghosting frequently appears for no apparent reason. I haven’t figured out how to fix it, and it can be distracting while reading. It’s a great idea overall, but the screen issue definitely needs improvement.

For context, I've owned e-ink readers since the Kindle Keyboard, and been using handheld computers since the Apple Newton Messagepad 2000 and PalmPilot, As such, I'm very used to old, simple, slow black and white devices. However, I decided to return this device within 30 minutes of opening it. Issues: * The fingerprint reader was very unreliable. * Google Play store either crashed or froze half of the times I opened it. * The gap between the screen looks terrible. Devices have had flush looking laminated screens for many years now. A new device today shouldn't look like the display is set way back behind a protective clear screen. * The cost is ridiculous. I paid less than this for my 10.2" Kindle Scribe with stylus input. Yet the Boox Palma 2 looks, feels and runs like a much cheaper, 'plasticky' cheap old toy from 15 years ago. Subjective issues: * It is really slow - as you'd expect for an e-ink device. However, being the size of a phone, and running full Android OS, you can't help but feel that it's creaky and clunky. I've decided that I'd much rather just carry my phone (which I already always have with me) and switch it to greyscale mode if I want to eliminate distractions. I read for 5-15 hours a week on e-ink devices, so was excited for a high quality reader I could slip into my pocket and take everywhere. However, this definitely isn't that device for me.

The product came unsealed with a different wallpaper from the product photo and the screen is stuck. Even after charging and following the hard reset and the factory reset method I cannot interact or do anything with it. I am convinced that I received a used defective product that someone else had returned. This is infuriating as I paid for a brand new product.

Stopped working after a couple of month Poor respond time
