My new favorite travel gadget is an e-reader that looks like a phone (but isn't)
It turns out, the Onyx Boox Palma, an Android-based e-reader that just so happens to look like a phone, is a brilliant idea.
The two main benefits of running Android on such a device are access to the Play Store, meaning you can download more than one e-reader app (as well as TikTok, Instagram, Disney+, etc., if you're feeling unhinged), and deep customization. With time, you'll discover more elaborate settings like the ability to turn on paginated scroll (which makes text animations less jarring on a low frame-rate display) and page-turning via volume buttons (great for one-handed use). The E Ink display means I can consume all the articles and e-books I usually read on my phone without worrying about eye strain, and the lighter approach to Android strikes a balance of app availability, user customization, and battery life that lasts me well into the second week with moderate use.
