Onyx Boox Palma 2

But I really like this thing. Any tips? EDIT: Returned the ViWoods for 3 reasons: The light didn’t dim enough: too bright in bed. No warm light. Metal build = cold and uncomfortable to the hand. I prefer plastic. It required more work to put software on there, though that was easily resolved by a software update and then installing Google Play.

So, for me and with that, I personally think that this device is 100% worth it. I think if you are slowly gradually getting sick and tired of the Kindle experience or maybe the Coobo experience, I've never really heard anybody say they had a bad experience with the Coobo to be honest with you. But if you are having a negative experience with the Kindle, I do think that if you can slowly transition to something like this, it would be of great benefit in my opinion. But that is just my first month opinion thus far

The Boox Palma 2 doesn't knock any single category out of the park, but it does many things very well
