I first learned about the Boox Palma about a month ago and finally ordered one last night because I couldn't stop thinking about it. I love that it runs on Android and users aren't limited to one specific ecosystem! I previously bought an iPad to read books that I can't access on my Kindle, but I don't like reading on my tablet or my phone. It's also great that users can customize the buttons.

[@zf1296]

haha, I just ordered it yesterday too, couldn’t stop thinking about it. Will see how long it takes to arrive here in Canada, can’t wait!!!

[@iNanieke]

Thank you for your honest opinion! I'm hoping they will add a sim card option, then the Boox Palma is a standalone device that can replace a smartphone. I think it will appeal to people who want to cut down on social media etc. But it's such a cool device already!

[@andresn.2502]

Yes, it definitely needs a SIM card! I would buy it right now

[@iNanieke]

@@andresn.2502 same!

[@alisonbranagan8914]

Great video with lots of useful info that isn't mentioned on other reviews

[@hdtravel1]

Hopefully a better color version with Android 14 is coming out soon. This device is getting dated and long in the tooth.

[@power4u977]

Thanks for the review. Does it support colours? Is Magzter app available on it?

[@covfeefe]

It doesn't support colors, as it's only a monochrome display (only black and white). It supports any apps available on the Google Play store, available for Android 11. Hope this helps!

[@LikeIDKWhatever]

So there’s no phone functionality right ? It doesn’t make phone calls correct ?

[@ivanamurphy6917]

Correct

[@katienguyen824]

Please let me know where I can download the wallpaper "Don't spoil her with toys, spoil her with books". I just bought a boox palma, too.

@@KaylaLeRoux thank you

[@Sonnanigan]

is it like ipod but with e-ink?? feels like that without the cellular usage 🤔

[@XtinFantastico]

does it have dictionary/ translation touch(words) feature just like in kindle?

[@Trojanischer_Esel]

That’s up to you and which app you are using. If you install the Kindle app then of course the translation feature will work. There are other apps like this as well. My favorite app for reading is KOReader

[@agirlfrommars3441]

I ordered one yesterday but I’m new to android that’s the only learning curve I hope I’ll get the hang of it haha

[@agirlfrommars3441]

I’ve been using it everyday. I will never part with my kindle signature but I love the Palma 😍

[@5Solas.2]

Can you turn the light all the way off?

[@covfeefe]

Yes, you can! Best for reading in direct sunlight.

[@macbrebonicks8668]

Hoopla is acting up on me. It will not update my Library Card.

[@ursulaoelofse4731]

It's too expensive. More than double the price of the kindle in South Africa. Where a kindle costs 4K +. A Boox Palma is not worth it at all here in South Africa.

[@mudbrick6083]

You cannot listen to audiobooks on Hoopla on the Palma

[@asyapolyak589]

I have boox Palma and here is what you need to know:
1. Listening boox with wireless earbuds : impossible after 10 min or smth. It overheats, starts loosing connection. Impossible to continue.
2. You will miss typing vibration that you usually have at messengers.
3. It is not that precise at typing as a normal phone.
4. Word prediction? Forget about that. It works too slow.
5. Can it replace the phone? No. You need colored ink display for browsing and apps like CZcams music. Carta makes complex pictures with details as a black unreadable squares.
Reading 10/10
Messaging 8/10
Security 6/10
Browsing 3/10
Note taking 6/10
Buy it only if you don't have Hisense ink phones available for purchase.

What note taking

[@asyapolyak589]

@@astroguy30 what do u mean ?

[@bantelsingpho4775]

I can see Holy Bible in your phone

[@JohnConnor-ij1jk]

6GB RAM on this, not 8.

[@millie6608]

You might be thinking of the moaan inkpalm 5, that one is produced and ships from China :)
