The smartphone-sized Boox Palma 2 is cheaper than ever for Prime Day
The Boox Palma 2 looks like a smartphone, and it even runs Android 13. But it's meant to be used primarily as a pocket-friendly e-reader with an ePaper screen, one that's much easier to hold in one hand than a Kindle or Kobo. Some of us at The Verge have a Palma, and you can see what all the fuss is about, too, for an all-time low of $269.99 ($30 off) at Amazon and Boox during Prime Day. Be mindful that Prime Day ends today, so time is running out to grab this deal. Verge editor-at-large David Pierce praised the Palma 2's eight-day battery life, its compact size, and its ability to access to the Google Play Store in his November 2024 review. Its 6.13-inch monochromatic display is roughly the size as the current-gen iPhone's screen, and it has the same pixels per inch as the larger, entry-level Kindle, so text will look very clear. If all you want is a petite device for reading books, the Palma 2 is a good choice, in part because you can download the Kindle app and read any titles you've bought on that platform. The Palma 2 can also open most popular document formats, including PDF, CBZ, EPUB, MOBI, TXT, and DOC. The Palma 2 has 128GB of storage, which is a lot for an e-reader, but it affords you plenty of space for downloading Android apps. It supports Bluetooth, so you can download Spotify and listen to music, or Audible for audiobooks. It has a 16-megapixel camera, too. One of the few improvements in the Palma 2 from the first-gen model is the fingerprint reader, letting you lock your content. There are plenty of e-readers out there, but the Palma 2's pocket-friendly size means you may be more likely to grab it on the way out your door. This is the first time the Palma 2 has received a notable discount, and Prime Day is the perfect time to check out a piece of tech you might have been on the fence about.

I Haven't Traveled Without My Kindle Paperwhite in 10 Years—and the Newest Version Just Went on Sale
One of my greatest travel pleasures is settling in with my Kindle. Whether I'm sitting on a plane, lounging on the beach, sunbathing poolside, or snuggling into my hotel bed, my Kindle Paperwhite is always by my side. Gone are the days of lugging a separate bag just for books on vacation (I easily devour four to five books per trip), because this ingenious device is like having an entire library at your fingertips—all in a gadget that weighs less than a pound. For me, it's the ultimate trip must-have, and it should be for you too. Luckily, Amazon is hosting a sale on Kindles in honor of Prime Day right now. You can score the Kindle Paperwhite for $125, and if you're on a budget, you can also snag the Amazon Kindle for less than $100. Students, note takers, and those who like to scrawl or doodle on the pages of their books, will enjoy the Kindle Scribe, which has the largest discount of 35 percent and $140 off. Just make sure you shop these Kindles before the deals expire. Like the original Amazon Kindle e-reader, the Kindle Paperwhite offers endless advantages. For example, I enjoy reading under the sun, and its glare-free, 7-inch screen is a game-changing feature. Plus, it's waterproof, which means I can read worry-free near the ocean or pool. With 16 gigabytes of storage, the 6.9-inch by 4.9-inch by .32-inch device holds thousands of books. Speaking from experience, the book choices seem limitless—from my beloved authors like Kristin Hannah and Taylor Jenkins Reid to recommendations from friends, the Kindle Paperwhite library always has a new adventure awaiting. What's more, it boasts up to 12 weeks' worth of battery life, making it hassle-free for travel—all you have to do is ensure it's fully charged before you go on your way. I'm also a fan of its built-in light feature, which makes it perfect for bedside reading, especially if you're sharing a room, as it eliminates the need for a lamp. This is also great for frequent fliers who don't want to disturb their seatmates by turning on the overhead light mid-flight. Courtesy of Amazon For my fellow literary nerds out there, there's even the option to highlight quotes that resonate with you and look up words while you're reading; just press down on the one that you need the definition for, and the Kindle dictionary will do the rest. And I'm not alone in my Kindle enthusiasm, as evidenced by the over 5,200 five-star reviews from Amazon shoppers. One wrote, "This Kindle is possibly the best purchase I've ever made. It's so portable, practically pocket-sized," adding that it's a breeze to take "on planes, in cars, in my bag to restaurants... I even managed to slip it into an oversized jean jacket pocket on cooler nights. It's amazing." For anyone eager to read more and spend less time in front of the TV or on their phones, the Kindle is the perfect gateway. Believe me, there's a book choice for everyone. Pulling from my own personal favorites, if you're into thrillers, try Colleen Hoover's 'Verity.' For drama enthusiasts, check out Taylor Jenkins Reid's 'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.' If you're looking to learn something along the way, dive into historical fiction like Kristin Hannah's 'The Nightingale.' Once you start, you won't want to put the Kindle down. Convinced? I thought you'd be. Transform your travel entertainment and finally cross those books off your list by taking advantage of this Prime Day deal. And, don't forget to protect your new Kindle Paperwhite with a case; the CoBak Case is 50 percent off, making it just $10 to add some protective style to your e-reader. If you're still on the hunt for the best Prime Day tech deals that Amazon has to offer, keep reading for unbeatable finds that are too good to miss, including major savings on Apple AirPods Pro, Apple AirTags, and other travel essentials. Courtesy of Apple At the time of publishing, the price started at $125. Love a great deal? Sign up for our T+L Recommends newsletter and we'll send you our favorite travel products each week.
