Onyx Boox Palma 2

The Onyx Boox Palma 2 is a smartphone-sized E Ink reader running Android 13 with Google Play, making it the most portable open-platform device in its class. Released in November 2024 at $249.99, it measures 159 x 80 x 8 mm and weighs just 170 grams, while offering 128 GB of internal storage, 6 GB of RAM, a microSD slot, and a 3,950 mAh battery that supports a full day of mixed reading and app use. Its 6.13-inch E Ink Carta 1200 panel hits 300 PPI for crisp text, and dual-tone front lights support both cool white and warm amber modes. A 16-megapixel camera doubles as a document scanner, and a fingerprint sensor in the power button adds quick unlock. Google Play provides access to Kindle, Kobo, Libby, Hoopla, Audible, and any other reading or productivity app, freeing users from a single-vendor ecosystem. The Palma 2 is purpose-built for commuters and travelers who juggle multiple library services and want all of them on one pocket-sized device. Its smartphone form factor means it slips into any pocket, and the open Android base means no reading app is off-limits, making it the definitive choice for power readers who refuse to compromise on ecosystem freedom.
