ONYX is finally selling the BOOX Palma freely, a 159 x 80 x 8 mm and 170 g E-reader with a 6.13-inch display. Available in black or white finishes, the ONYX BOOX Palma can access the Google Play Store through Android 11, which it supports with an octa-core Qualcomm chipset, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of expandable storage.

ONYX is now selling the BOOX Palma freely, having opened pre-orders for the E-reader in July. To recap, the ONYX BOOX Palma runs Android 11 and is compatible with the Google Play Store. Thus, you can run any eBook on the ONYX BOOX Palma, unlike its Amazon Kindle competitors.

To that effect, ONYX has included 128 GB of UFS 2.1 flash storage and a MicroSD card slot should you need additional space. Additionally, the BOOX Palma has an unnamed Qualcomm chipset with an octa-core CPU and a BSR GPU. Moreover, OYNX has complemented the chipset with 6 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and a 3,950 mAh battery that fits within a 159 x 80 x 8 mm housing and contributes to a 170 g total weight.

Furthermore, the BOOX Palma has a 6.13-inch E Ink Carta 1200 display with a 300 PPI pixel density thanks to an 824 x 1648-pixel native resolution. Also, the display has a capacitive touch layer, a front light that supports warm and cold colour temperatures and a G-sensor for auto rotation. The ONYX BOOX Palma is orderable now in black and white colour options for US$279.99 in the US and €299.99 in the Eurozone. Please see ONYX's website for more details.
