I got one a few weeks ago. It's been a bit of a learning curve for me as I've used apple for years. I haven't used it a lot yet, I did take it out today. I left my phone at home and took it with me and enjoyed some reading while I had brunch at my local cafe. Perfect to chuck in my back pocket and less distracting than a phone.
Oh, I hope you like it!! It does take a little while to get the settings where you want them, but once you get it set up, you don't really need to keep messing with it unless you want to.
Nice way to quickly jump into bed and knock out a chapter or two before bed, without having the ebook reader slam into your face. Having something small enough to hold with one hand, while laying on your side is a major plus! But also, take this on the go, get stuck waiting at the checkout lane, and catch up on a few pages before proceeding. Stuck in an infinite traffic jam heading home from a sports game? Bring it along, and quickly read while stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Needing something that travel easily into the bathroom for some long constitutionals? Bring a Palma in there for some deep thinking. And just like what they say about the smart phone's camera -- it's not how good the camera is, but the fact that it's the one that you always have on hand that makes it so useful. The easier it travels, the more likely it'll be used all the time. Because yes, I already have a Max Lumi 2 (13.3 A4) and a Tab Ultra C (10.3), which work great and do exactly what they are intended to do. Just this will go to more places, since I'm not going to lug them around with me.
THIS IS BEST REVIEW ON TH-cam ON THIS DEVICE WILL YOU BE DOING A REVIEW ON THE PALMA 2 ? They only have two difference the finger scan and the processor is a bit upgraded 😅
great in-depth review! im debating whether to get the black or white. do you think the white is in the type of material to get yellow in a few years? is it easily dirtied?
I typed this whole answer before, but I did something, and it didn't post, so sorry if this is a duplicate answer somehow. Let me preface my answer by saying that I don't take my Palma out and about much. Sometimes I will take it to sit in my car and read while I wait for my Walmart order, but I don't have a daily commute or anything. BUT the color isn't really white. It's more of an ecru or an oatmeal color, so I don't think yellowing will ever be an issue. It wipes off easily, and the surface doesn't pick up fingerprints or smudges at all. It's matte, no shiny, so I feel like it doesn't really look like it's been handled a lot even if you have been holding it. I hope this helps!!
There is a review somewhere on youtube and the guy pointed out that the white one displays a lighted square boarder around the device that the black one does not. Also, there is a horizontal black line that one can see at the top on the white one that does not appear, per se, on the black one. A bit odd it seems but that is what the video showed, not a clue why such is not the case with the black one
Trying to be patient for a new Kindle, but the color e-ink Android based devices are very tempting to have access to multiple platforms outside of Kindle.
I love Kindles, and I love Android devices that do all the things. 😂 I would love to see a color Kindle, but I wonder what the quality would be like upon launch. The Scribe was buggy at first (and I bought it when it first came out anyway 😂); they have definitely improved it since then, but I wonder if a color e-reader would go through the same growing pains.
Thank you!! I talked about it in the E-Reader Gadgets video that I just posted last week, and I linked it in the description of that video. th-cam.com/video/HKo4noG41J4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cjhjEhVIBxmaApuH
Bought mine yesterday absolutely love it I may not use my kindle anymore we will see I just love sitting back on the sofa one hand with palma the other with my drink 😂
I hate to admit I went nuts with loving Boox devices and have the Palma, Tab Mini C, and Go 7 Color. Now I'm hearing rumors that Amazon may come out with a new Kindle e-reader this month or in the next few months. ugh..Hopefully if it's true, it'll just have buttons and since I still have my Kindle Oasis and Voyage, I don't feel like I'll be tempted by a new Kindle if it's just adding button page turning ability back again. I do love the Palma, it's so convenient.
@@MochitaLita I already have the Boox Go 7 Color but I ordered the Matcha green Kindle Basic 6 inch! I wanted one that had the frame in that color green and they did it! Wish it had been the Paperwhite but that's okay. I don't need another Paperwhite. lol Let us know how you like the Colorsoft when it arrives!!
@@fitdaniellereads Yep I caved in! But only to get the new Matcha green Kindle basic 6 inch that came out today (along with 3 others). Color Kindle came out too but I think I'm good with my color Boox devices! lol
Oh, that wasn't a choice at all. 😂 That was just the result of me trying to include as much info as possible without making a 2 hour long video. I should probably make a point of showing the reading screen more. Thanks for pointing that out.
You're so kind in your response to a rudely worded comment. But you said you're a teacher? I guess you're used to kids speaking their mind with no regard to how rude they sound 😂 @fitdaniellereads

I never slam my ereader into my face… does it hurt?
Yes!! That's the beauty of this device! It's so easy to tuck away and take with you!
@skepticalmechanic -- I'm guessing that depending on the size of the e-reader, it could really smart if you smacked yourself with it. 😂
@@fitdaniellereads Never had a problem like that… I guess u could…

We will wait forever for a colour kindle 🙈

You're probably right.

! Thanks for the breakdown, You are a busy woman, How do you do it? Take care of that health now and will check you out in your next video!
Hey friend!! I have to stay busy or I find myself getting into trouble. Something tells me that you understand that. 😂
@@fitdaniellereads I do!
Great video! Do you have a video on your mechanical keyboard clicker?

Yes!! That's awesome!! It's just so easy to read on!
Any issues with artifacts/ghosting? Seeing some folks that say after like 40-60 days they sometimes see perm burn-in.
No, not at all.

We are SO totally besties!! 😂 And you KNOW you'll be tempted with a new Kindle even if it "just" has buttons . . . just like I would!! 😂
@@fitdaniellereads I'm afraid you're right. I won't be able to say no to a new Kindle! 😂
New Kindles came out today. I pre-ordered the new Colorsoft. No buttons ..but we have color!

interesting choice to only show a few seconds of an actual book page in a 35 minute video about an erader...
