The Boox Palma ebook reader, the size of a smartphone, is available exclusively for Verge readers.
It is an unusual offer in a unique e-reader.
The Boox Palma is an excellent choice for those looking for a compact e-reader that doesn't require being part of the Amazon ecosystem. With a 6.1-inch screen, this device has a regular price of $279.99, but until October 9, it is available for $249.99, plus it includes a free case valued at $16 when using the code BOOXVERGE30 at Wellbots.
This reader has received praise for its sleek and portable design, allowing it to be easily stored in a pocket and held comfortably with one hand. What truly sets it apart is its functionality, as it operates on Android and includes the Google Play Store. This makes it easy to download apps to access other digital book retailers, newspapers, and note-taking apps, thus avoiding the tedious process of uploading Kindle books to non-Amazon devices.
While some users may be tempted by the option to download social media apps, such as TikTok, the usage experience suggests that the Boox Palma tends to be slow enough that those distractions are not appealing. Overall, this reader offers a flexibility not found in other models on the market, positioning it as an interesting option for digital reading enthusiasts.
