Amazon has recently introduced a range of new Kindle devices, but for those who aren’t fully invested in Amazon’s ecosystem, these models may not represent the best choices available. For readers seeking an e-reader that offers greater adaptability, the Boox Palma is currently priced at a new low of $234.99, a discount of $45, available from Wellbots, which includes a complimentary flip-cover case valued at $16 with the application of the code VERGEBFBOOX45.

What sets the Boox Palma apart from many other e-readers is that it operates on Android 11 and has the Google Play Store pre-installed. This feature allows users to access a variety of reading apps with ease. For instance, downloading the Kindle app enables access to an extensive digital library without the convoluted sideloading process common with other e-readers. Additionally, users can also download various other e-reader applications, including Rakuten Kobo and Readwise Reader, as well as news apps like the The New York Times.

Weighing in at just 6.1 inches, the Boox Palma offers portability and convenience due to its smartphone-like dimensions. Its lightweight design allows for easy carrying, whether slipping it into a pocket or casually reading with one hand while managing a cup of coffee during a commute. This ease of use makes it an appealing option for on-the-go readers.

It is also important to note that Boox has recently released the Palma 2, which features an integrated fingerprint sensor in the power button and is built on Android 13. This newer version introduces capabilities such as enhanced copy and paste functions and will support apps for a longer duration compared to the original Palma’s Android 11. However, for those prioritizing cost savings, the previous generation model continues to be a solid option.
