Welcome to Wishlist After Dark, folks! We've got the boox Palma 2, a pocket-size e-reader about the size of a phone. With me are Penny Pickwell, our review detective, and Sunny, our resident ray of sunshine! Hey, everyone. Reading glasses on, eyebrow ready. Hi! Oh Marty, I love books so much, I'm already wiggling. Then listen up, Sunny. Got a bookworm who reads on their phone? This is their gift. Wait, so it's like a phone, but made for reading?
Even better. It's an e-reader with phone-like app features, so books, music and the internet, all on a paper-like screen. Here's the list. Music too? Ooh, picture someone on the bus with a novel and their favorite playlist, all on one little screen! But wait, there's more! The listing says fingerprint recognition. And microphones. And it slips right into a pocket, Marty! Somebody unwraps that and they're reading before the paper hits the floor.
Plus, look at this. N B C Select picked it for its best holiday gifts on Amazon! Penny, what are buyers saying? Okay, honest part. It's a reader, not a phone, so don't expect it to replace one. Oh, so you'd still keep your regular phone? Yep, Sunny. And check this number: the Amazon listing has only about 40 reviews. Pretty small crowd. Small but mighty, Penny! Ooh, and an owner writing on The eBook Reader blog loved the size for reading on the go!
Fair, Sunny. It's a pick for a dedicated reader. After Dark Score: seven point six out of ten, which puts it below the Kindle on our gadgets board. So get it for the true bookworm, and skip it if they really just want a phone. Folks, the link's on our site and in the description. Happy reading, and see you next time!
