I don't know if you know but you can change the refresh rate per app on the boox Palma. It can make it a lot more speedy on screen but the faster you make it the more ghosting you'll notice .
I was thinking this today. Btw if you play with the accessibility settings you can”reduce the white point” by increasing the level and that way the whites aren’t so glaring when you read. You can also make the colors a little paler by changing the color contrast and playing with the greyscale levels. I’ve made those changing and it has been softer on my eyes, I mostly use my phone but you can use change those settings on the iPad also. Now all I’m waiting for is a matte screen protector to help reduce the glare, let’s see how it goes 🤞
I just came across your unboxing and I was excited to see you get it. I’ve been wanting it so much bc of third party apps and how small it is. but I have purchased two ereaders very recently back to back (kobo Clara BW and kobo Libra Colour) 😅 But I’ve been restraining myself since I can make my iPhone work for me by changing a few settings (reducing white point and changing the color contrast) and I basically can download so many apps and more. And having just an extra device… 😅 but yea I’m holding back for now. E ink is just so pretty to me in my eyes. I also worry about the operating system outdated, idk if that is a thing.. I have never used android.
@@nat4465 Hello!! 🙋🏼♀️💜 I actually have since sold my Palma…. I didn’t use it at all. 😬🤷🏼♀️ I liked it but it could do everything (pretty much) that my phone did… but my phone was in color. 😆💁🏼♀️
I like my Palma, though I have been using my Boox Page more. Oops! Lol. The Page was less money and even less from where I got it on eBay. It also has a bigger screen good for reading my manga on. But hey, that's why it's nice to have a variety to choose from. The flower letters sound really cool! 😊
I have a boox leaf 2 (which was less than $200 so less of a painful price tag) and although I love it and it’s absolutely worth it to me to keep in order to be platform independent… I do pick up my kobo Clara more 😆 I hope these ultra portable ones become more popular and the price comes down.
I have a Boox Page and feel the same way, i dont regret getting it but i do find myself reaching for my kobo sage or kindle more often. i do enjoy being able to listen to music and audiobooks on it while reading though. Excited for the book club! 😊
It's nice to hear your view on the palma! I am wondering if it would be good for productivity/study apps and timer apps. It could make a good visual timer/time tracker as you read. If you feel compelled to make a video, it would be cool to see how those apps and others function on the palma. It is such a niche device and it fits perfectly into the lives of some and maybe not so perfectly in others. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, it gave me a lot to consider if I ever would like to get a palma one day.
i'm excited to check out flower letters, i've never heard of them before. thanks for sharing!! also just wondering do you happen to own any of the older kindles like kindle touch or keyboard? i just snagged a kindle touch bc i had one as a kid and im pleasantly surprised how it holds up against the current kindles
Yay!! I hope you get a sub! Let me know which one you pick. 😀 Ooo I do not have one. Whyyy did u mention it? Now I want one! Where did u find yours? haha
i love watching your collection / comparison videos and for some reason i feel like you would just resonate with the kindle touch. i found mine on ebay almost brand new in terms of looks and functionality for about $25
Thank you for sharing your Pros and Cons. The price is a drawback for me. I am thinking about the white one; however, I was until you shared your Cons. When you said it does what an iPad does...yes, it certainly does. I think I may treat myself to the new Kobo Colour. Now, as for the Flower 🌺 Letters sub. I am curious to give it a whirl. I love it knkwing so ething like this exists. Cool. Remember when we used to snail mail when we were kids. 💕🌺
Love watching your videos, they always make me so happy 😊 please do a coffee station set up and how you make your ice coffee. I love the cozy vibe you have going on.
@@thebooknookcorner1153 I will try this. Most of the time I don’t have the backlighting on because I read earlier in the day, but maybe this makes a difference at night. Right now my charge only lasts a few days and I have disabled a lot in my settings so that the battery will last. Maybe I’m missing something
Wow that's awesome I'm always support to you Can you please please please please please please select me in your give away😢 please it was my dream please select me😮😮
Im 70 and I figured out the screen savers girl! The feather weight and size are my favorite part of my Palma. Easy on my old hands. Get well wishes
Go you!!! ☺️ Thank you!

Good to know!!
I would love if Apple did a colored e-ink ereader. I think that would be awesome. 😊📖
I agree! It blows my mind that apple hasn’t come out with an ereader yet.
The next kindle is rumoured to be colour, next year I think.
@@agirlfrommars3441 Yes 🤞🏻🤞🏻
@@thebooknookcorner1153 also thanks for your honest review, your cons with it would probably align with mine as well :)

YES exactly! It’s still useful… but in a bit different of a way. haha Yay! I am too. I’m hoping it can be a fun little place. ☺️💕
I find boox devices clunky from a UI perspective. I actually enjoy the UI experience of Kindle and Kobo because they feel hyper focused on reading.
@@obscuracrimepodcast Honestly, I have to agree!
The flower letters sound so cool! I love the artwork on the envelope too!
They are seriously sooo cool!

That is such a good idea and would work very well! I will consider it, thank you!
I am hoping Amazon will be putting out a color e ink reader soon!! ❤
I agree!! That’s what I would really like to hold out for. ☺️

I can’t wait to try a color ereader! and yesss… I loved my snail mail pen pals. 😀
Just subscribed to the Flowers Letters. I chose the Audrey Rose Letters.
Ooo yayyy!! You’re going to love them! 💕
Do you plan to get the kobo Clara color?
I do…. but not for awhile! :)
Wow that's awesome super
Nice sharing
Your post always brighter my day
Keep rocking❤
I am accited to your video😊
Palma is too expensive to me. Maybe I wait for one year and get the price is more affordable. I like your video 🎉
Thank you!! Yes… I could see that happening.
Love watching your videos, they always make me so happy 😊 please do a coffee station set up and how you make your ice coffee. I love the cozy vibe you have going on.
Aww thank you!!! I may do that on my cozy vlog channel! Good idea ☺️☺️
hey! i wanted to join your discord book clubs but all the links are expired 😔
try my most recent video! They should be good there! Let me know if not. I’ll fix them. 🙂
I wanted to love this but the battery drains so quickly
Mine doesn’t… 🤷🏼♀️ Maybe because I lower the backlighting before clicking screen off?
Check your settings because that may be the problem. My Palma’s charge lasts for at least 2 books which for me is 1.5 weeks.
