E-readers and e-ink tablets · Boox
Owners use it for reading and handwriting on color e-ink, and those who say so like the pen's grip, a clear screen, and fast bulk file transfer with Booxdrop.
Writing feel drew only positive comments, though from just two owners. One likes the size and grip of the pen compared with Samsung and Scribe pens, and the other calls the writing feel decent.
Owners are divided on the color screen, and only two accounts mention it. One found the Palma Pro as clear as the Kindle ColorSoft and better than other color e-ink devices they tried, while another likes the idea but doesn't think color e-readers are ready yet.
Pick up to three. You get a page with just those, side by side, on the subjects owners raised.
The accounts are few, so this is a thin picture. What stands out is how owners tune the device to their taste. One keeps it in a case with a pen slot, which gives them peace of mind about the pen. They also put a matte screen protector on the screen, because the added friction makes writing more satisfying. Another owner plans to try a writing screen protector for a more scratchy, pen-and-paper feel.
Moving files is part of the routine. One owner likes Booxdrop a lot and says it makes sending a large batch of files easy and fast. Another found getting books onto their e-reader a challenge at first, though not an impossible one. They buy from Kobo and Amazon and have never used Calibre. Owners here also tend to have other e-readers, such as Kindles and Kobos, and compare the Palma Pro against them.
None of the accounts describe a hardware failure, a software fault, or a repair. The comments are about setup, accessories and first impressions, so there is nothing here on what breaks or what owners do about it.
The long-term accounts are thin. With only nine accounts in total and no one reporting months of use, this page can't say how the screen, battery or pen hold up over time. The only protective steps mentioned are a case with a pen slot and a matte or writing screen protector, and those were chosen for feel and peace of mind, not in response to damage.
Nothing with a clear majority yet. Owners who raised these subjects were split, or too few to judge.
Nothing has a clear majority against it yet. Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.
11 more subjects came up from fewer than 4 owners each, which is not enough for a fair reading. To see how it stacks up, compare it with another machine.
The same owner, asked again at each point. Fills in as owners answer.
Two questions: how long you have had it, and anything you would like to say about it. Then we ask again as it ages. This helps our mission.

Before you buy one used, ask the seller: how old it is, whether it was ever repaired and by whom, and whether any of the parts above have been replaced. Ask to see it run. A receipt tells you the warranty start date; most makers honour the term only for the first owner.
