Summary
The Boox Palma 2 is a smartphone-sized e-reader with a 6.3-inch screen and Android operating system.
It features the Google Play Store, so users can download apps for other digital bookstores, newspapers and magazines, and note-taking apps.
It is currently on offer at 279.99(20 off) from Wellbots, along with a free flip cover case, using the offer code VERGEPALMA20.
The device has an easy-to-read E Ink screen, and its Android 13 operating system, with an upgraded processor, should mean it receives more security updates.
Additional features include a fingerprint sensor built into the power button and the ability to download apps for music, podcasts and social media.
Whilst it can be used for reading WhatsApp messages and Twitter, the speed of the processor means that it is not ideal for scrolling through social media, making it a less distracting experience.
