One handed reading is a major selling point for an e-reader. I bought my Palma because I can hold it in one hand, like a phone (or maybe an iPod Touch is a better comparison) and turn pages with my finger or thumb, all while giving my cat scritches. Any device which lets you pet your furry friends while reading is good. I'm also a Boox user because I can use Libby directly on the device, as well as other productivity apps that I like to use. I turn off notifications on the Palma so I don't have distractions.
I avoid Amazon as much as I can out of principle because they screwed over the authors and libraries, not to mention deleting already-purchased books. I have a Kobo and honestly i'm happy with NOT having ads on my homepage even if I have to use Calibre on my laptop to move over some of my books.
So grateful more companies are coming out with eReaders for this very reason! Diversifying the marketplace gives consumers options and forces companies to operate with integrity. Hopefully this starts to become more of a reality in the literary world. Also, I would LOVE to try out the Kobo. I've heard great things and their color ereader looks awesome.
If you have a book ecosystem outside of Amazon, then it would be more ideal for the Palma or now Palma 2. I have mine with an expansion MicroSD card that has an additional 1TB, so total space is 1128GB. More than probably all phones, and definitely all other ebook readers out there on the market! And yet it just fits in your pocket! Can you watch movies on it? Yes, but you'd be better using the google cast feature to cast the signal to another device with a color screen. Otherwise, youc an also consider it a storage device on the go since you can transfer data from it to another device. So if you were wanting to share your PDF, MP3, epub, mobi, MKV, MP4, audiobook, photos, etc with someone else, you just connect both to the same wifi service, and then enable BOOXDrop, which hosts a service on the Palma to allow users to connect and send/receive files to/from it.
That's a good point about the operating system on the boox. It'd be ok for me cause I have android, but every time my bf asks me to use his iPhone to take a pic I am so lost😂
I’d be interested in the Boox if it was bigger. I don’t like how small it is. I might as well just use my phone for on the go reading. And I do. But I don’t love how often I have to turn the page on a small device so I use my paperwhite for longer reading sessions. The flexibility does sound cool. I use specific scripture reading apps and I ALWAYS wish they would work on my paperwhite so I could enjoy the nice e ink screen. But they don’t and it stinks. Sounds like they would on the Palma.
I agree with so much of this!! and yes, I have a bible app on my palma and it is nice for that. Especially for travel since I don't like bringing my Bible with me for fear of losing it (it's happened to me before haha). So it's great for that!
@@GoodBookery plus bibles are pretty big! But I did just see that the Boox line has a bigger option so I’m looking into it. Thanks for explaining this so well! I didn’t realize that about the boox e readers!

The Boox is perfect for my flights and travel. The kindle is perfect for nighttime reading. Physical books are just perfect.
HAHAH YES! Love it. We need all the different reading devices and books

@@KevinGamin okay yes!! This is such a good point. One handed reading is a major plus!
@@GoodBookery Kitteh wants tummy rubs, so one handed reading is essential.

@@Stretch1931 these are tons of great points!!
Can I upload Calibre and read from it on Palma? I have ebooks in different languages and would like to keep them in one spot!!
Boox palma more compact and easy to hold by hand.. but more expensive😂
HAHAH can't win them all i guess
Team boox 13 inch new one/10.3 Go for reading.
@@bm-xi4bw I’d love to try this!! Sounds like such a good eReader. Best of both worlds.
Always been a Kindle girly 🫶🏽
Same! it's the OG and such a good device

HAHA yes!! it's definitely others can learn, but it takes so much more brain power when you're not familiar with the operating system
