Boox Palma 2 Pro review: a $400 phone-sized e-reader

TechCrunch reviewed the $400 Boox Palma 2 Pro, a smartphone-sized E Ink e-reader running Android with Google Play access. The 175-gram device lasted 5–7 days per charge but showed noticeable ghosting when turning pages. A non-Pro Palma 3 at $340 is coming soon.
