Onyx Boox Palma review: a tiny ereader like no other

 

Is it a phone? Is it an ereader? Is it both?

Comfortable, lightweight design ; Remarkable battery life ; Peppy performance

No stylus support ; Scanning camera not great ; Expensive

The Onyx Boox Palma is an ereader that looks like a smartphone, complete with a built-in speaker, rear camera and buttons on the sides. While it won’t make any calls, it gives you access to the Google Play Store as it runs on a stripped-down version of...

One of the best E Ink readers I've tested is an Android phone dupe that's full of wonder

 

The Onyx Boox Palma, a phone-sized e-reader that runs on Android, is my new favorite travel companion.

All that's to say, the Onyx Boox Palma is a very niche device that, for the right customer, will bring plenty of satisfaction. I didn't think I'd ever fall into the rabbit hole that is pocket-sized e-readers running on Android, but here I am, months...

Boox Palma review: An e-reader rated E for everyone

 

It's pocket-sized. It's polished. It's the Palma

Small form factor means super-portable and easy to hold ; Compatible with Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Libby, and more

A SIM tray/data connection would've made sense ; Why is there no headphone jack?

Onyx BOOX Palma review - Looks like a phone but it's a mini ereader that fits in your pocket - The Gadgeteer

 

I am having trouble making up mine if I like the Onyx BOOX Palma or not. I like the size because it's compact and can easily fit in my pocket and would be great for travel. But at the same time, as a book reader, it's almost too small, and I prefer...

Compact size ; Great battery life ; Crisp display ; Google Play app store

Page up/down buttons sometimes turn multiple pages with one press ; Add stylus support ; Make a version with a slightly wider display
