One reason the Onyx Boox Palma 2 is a runaway success is its compact dimensions. About the same size as a smartphone, the Palma 2 is easy to handle and carry around. You can always catch up with your favorite reads just about anywhere. It can be while waiting for your commute to arrive or while travelling. You don’t have to rely on a conventional e-reader, which typically sports a bigger form factor. In contrast, the Palma 2 fits snugly into your pant pockets or even the coziest of bags.
The only drawback has been its high price tag. At $300 a piece, it is more than twice the cost of the base Kindle or most entry-level e-reader devices. That seems to have been mitigated, albeit to some extent at least, via a discount that has brought its price down to $270. That still makes it higher priced than even the Kindle Paperwhite, which is often considered the best e-reader out there. As AndroidPolice mentioned, this is a limited-time deal, which means you’ve got to hurry to avail yourself of the offer. Apply the code ‘ANDRPALMA30’ during checkout at Wellbots to get the offer.
Coming to its specs, the Palma 2 comes with a 6.13-inch e-ink screen that is front-lit and allows for warm and cool temperature controls. An octa-core processor makes up the core of the device, which also includes 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. The latter again is further expandable via microSD cards. There is also a 16 MP rear-mounted camera, which can be used for scanning documents.
As for its software, the Palma 2 runs Android 13 out of the box. This also makes it one of its biggest advantages. With support for the Google Play Store, you can download scores of apps that you need. Those can be e-reader apps, games, and so on. This makes it one of the most versatile e-reader devices that doesn’t keep you locked to a single ecosystem. You can have multiple e-book reading software onboard, play games, watch videos, and whatnot.
So, if you have had your eyes on the Palma 2 but were hesitant because of its relatively high price tag, now is the time to act.
