You definitely have the best review out there for the Palma. I have watched a bunch of them prior to making my purchase. I was planning on buying this last year but there weren’t many reviews of this, so kudos for putting all the work into this and showing us all the features.
Love my BOOX devices. I already have a Max Lumi 2, and a Tab Ultra C. Different in sizes, and both have a purpose. This will fit right in with those, in that it's going to increase portability that the others can't. The Lumi 2 is great for a full paper experience, being able to work up and read entire PDFs without pinching and zooming. The Tab Ultra C is great for anything with color, and can deal less with full documents, and can use epub or kindle app books just perfectly. This will even increase the reading into a go-anywhere format. Even without a stylus support, there's so much versatility with the customizable buttons on both sides, along with all the swiping and gesture support.
The fact it's NOT a phone is a selling point to me, not an "omission." It's an android e-reader, so you can use multiple book and audiobooks on the one small, portable device. It's not meant to be a phone.
It's actually a great device, smaller than the kobo, very easy to take in a small bag and not locked into one ecosystem. You can use all the ebook services, like Everand on one device. It's more expensive because it's not tied into a store where Kobo/Kindle recoup their costs on devices.

Thank you so much for this helpful review and instructional video!
Great review! I want to see your face. You sound cute.

Is the screen visible / easily visible outside in direct sunlight (without the backlight on) ?
Yes.
Have you tested ultra refresh rate until battery finishes? How long would it last ?
You can customize the buttons and the refresh rate and all for each individual app and it saves the settings.
It's not a sim card slot it's an SD slot.
I have a bad feeling about this. Its way overpriced... I'll stick with my Kobo color.
No headphone jack either. Stupid fad technology booooo
