Cab anyone reccomend a hand sized eink reader, with buttons?

Xteink x4 — IF you have DRM-free book files and don’t need a front light. No touchscreen or other apps. Has buttons. Very tiny but yet very readable as long as you can handle like around maybe 20 point font and below. Boox Palma 2– can run apps like kobo and kindle, as well as take DRM-free files. T

Ask Me Anything About My E-Ink Tablet Collection

For what you've described, the rMPP would work okay, but like you say battery isn't great - I think I only got around six hours before it needed a recharge. I liked the Viwoods AI Paper Mini for more portable note-taking, and the Supernote Nomad is also decent, however these are around 8", so not re

Small e-reader, which one?

Boox Palma 2. It’s perfect. The viwoods has no warm light. The Boox Palma 2 pro is color which imo sucks on an Ereader (the screen is very dark grey vs a b&w device) X4 (xteink) is a good choice too but no frontlight at all and you need to have the actual book files to transfer to device (doesn’t ru

More ram in upcoming models?

there's only one device from Boox with 8GB RAM, and it is ironically the Palma 2 Pro which is also their smallest. imo they should standardize on 8GB but this is a tricky market to make that argument.

The Boox Palma 2 is incredibly fragile and should be avoided

Unfortunately even putting the Palma in your pocket (I’m assuming it was your pants pocket) can cause pressure to be applied to the screen or bend the device enough to crack the screen. I’ve owned 2 Palmas (Gen 1 & then recently upgraded to Palma 2 Pro) and have always carried it everywhere with me

Boox Palma 3 Wish List?

My wish list would be the same as the current palma 2 pro but with the size of RPPM, B&W and better use of the inksense (like the new go10.3). The current palmas feel more like a phone that happen to support stylus. My dream device would be a proper “pocket notebook” like RMMP but with android.

New wekind case for Boox Palma is on the wayyy

Palma 2 Pro has handwriting capabilities, while the 6 inch or 7 Go doesnt (as far as I know). I'm looking to get a Palma 2 Pro because I want something more portable than my Go 10.3. And so I'm considering this case for the Palma. Does that make sense? And some people just enjoy the aesthetic of the

Looking for imaginary note-taking device

If a device is pocketable, then it is too small to read PDFs on it. The closest compromise is an 8" device like the Viwoods Mini or the Supernote Nomad. You can read/annotate PDFs and write on them, and they will fit in a coat pocket. A little cramped, though. The only truly pocketable e-ink devices

Looking for an Android-friendly, open Color e-reader

It may seem small at just-bigger-than-a-phone, but I love my palma 2 pro and it meets these criteria.
