The phone-sized Boox Palma was one of 2024\u2019s most trendy tech products<\/a>, and now a follow-up is coming soon. The Palma 2 improves on the original, although it\u2019s not messing with what was already working. It\u2019s still an Android device that aims to reduce distractions and screen time with its two-tone ePaper screen. Most people who bought one saw value in having a pocket-friendly e-reader instead of buying a bigger Kindle, and since the Palma 2 is launching at $279.99<\/a> \u2014 $35 more than the original model is currently selling for at Amazon<\/a> \u2014 you\u2019ll soon get a little more bang for your buck.<\/p>\n

The Palma 2\u2019s display is unchanged from its predecessor at 300 PPI (pixels per inch), with the ability to shift between cool and warm color temperatures to make it easy on the eyes. What\u2019s new for this device is a fingerprint sensor that\u2019s embedded into the power button, letting you and no one else unlock it. The other improvements may be less noticeable for those who solely read books, but are nevertheless appreciated, including the upgrade to Android 13 and a faster octa-core CPU. Since you can use apps downloaded through the Google Play Store, speed boosts will only make the Palma 2 a more suitable companion moving forward. As for eBook and document compatibility, it supports a ton, including PDF, CBZ, EPUB, MOBI, and many more.<\/p>\n

For now, the Palma 2 is available to pre-order exclusively through the Boox website. The \u201cFlip-fold Protective Case Bundle\u201d costs $279.99 in either black or white, and it\u2019ll ship around Nov. 12.<\/p>\n
