Boox Palma 2 is the latest e-reader that acts like a smartphone

Boox has announced a sequel to its phone-sized e-reader with better performance and Android 13

Its 1648x824 resolution gives the device a 300 PPI (pixels per inch) so everything looks sharp, and it includes a light sensor for adjusting the backlight and color temperature automatically. You can also choose between four different refresh speeds depending on the type of content you’re consuming, whether it’s a slow-moving e-book or an HD video. While it could be cool to see the Palma 2 fully replace a smartphone, you’d lose out on the battery life and the advantage of “disconnecting” when reading a book.
