BOOX Palma Named to TIME's List of the Best Inventions of 2024
We are excited to share that the BOOX Palma has been named one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2024, an award that honors 200 groundbreaking innovations changing how we live, work, play, and think about what's possible. "The list was compiled from solicited nominations from TIME’s editors and correspondents worldwide, and each contender was evaluated on factors including originality, efficacy, ambition, and impact," TIME said in a statement.
BOOX Palma, with its black-and-white ePaper display, exceptional portability, and Android flexibility, has been highlighted by TIME as a "peaceful pocket device" that allows people to reconnect with themselves in a world full of distractions. Unlike smartphones, which are constantly overwhelming you with notifications and attention-grabbing information, the Palma offers a calm retreat, and it's a great companion for focused or relaxing moments like reading ebooks and listening to music or podcasts. As BOOX CEO Kim Dan puts it, the Palma is a stab at helping people "regain inner order and peace".
Featuring a 6.13" Carta E Ink screen with 300 PPI, the palma delivers a comfortable, eye-friendly reading experience that feels like on real paper, with every word appearing in sharp detail and clarity. Powered by an octa-core processor and the exclusive BOOX’s Super Refresh (BSR) Technology, it ensures an ultra-smooth performance for all tasks. Whether it's for web browsing, app usage, or task-switching, it strikes a perfect balance between display quality and responsiveness with four customizable refresh modes.
As a mobile ePaper device, BOOX Palma boasts a compact, phone-shaped design that fits effortlessly into your palm or pocket. Weighing just 170g, it’s lightweight and always ready to go—perfect for commuting, traveling, or enjoying leisure time outdoors. But the Palma isn’t just about portability; it offers a highly flexible and personalized experience that goes beyond typical eReaders. Running on the open Android OS, it gives you full access to the Google Play Store, so that you can easily download a wide variety of apps for music, meditation, productivity, and much more.
Designed to promote a healthy tech-life balance, BOOX Palma encourages users to disconnect from the noise of digital distractions and cultivate mindfulness. By limiting unnecessary notifications and providing a pure, distraction-free environment, this ePaper device helps you focus on what truly matters and rediscover inner calmness.
Being recognized by TIME is not only a reflection of our innovative capabilities but also a testament to our commitment to transforming the digital experience. At BOOX, we are dedicated to creating impactful products that empower users to achieve greater focus, productivity, and harmony in today's digital age. We are truly honored by this recognition from TIME, and it motivates us to keep pushing the boundaries of user experience through technological advancements.
