From what I read, the main reason for the camera is to scan documents for OCR. That refresh rate is pretty stunning for an eInk display as well. Nice. Thanks for the great review. New subscriber for you!

Yeah I figured that out after I stopped recording that unboxing about the camera. Yeah, it's a pretty neat device! Curious to check out more of their hardware. Thanks for the subscribe! Good to have you here.

I also saw on another video that pictures and videos you take with the camera actually turn out in colour on the receiving side,very handy.. Nice review Jason

I should hope so! Have to test that. But really, I'm not using this camera for much more than maybe doc scanning or OCR. I doubt its a high quality image.

Great review, thank you! Let’s say I like the idea of the Boox but am not ready for the Palma (because I want to highlight and annotate a bit more, with a pen, and want a larger screen). Which device would you suggest? I don’t think I want color, but I’m intrigued by the 7.8-inch format. Thank you!

You bet, thanks for watching! It's a cool and different device, and it certainly has some upgrades that would make a gen 2 even better.

I notice that Google Play says "Welcome to Wear OS", so maybe Play thinks the device is a watch?
@Techsploder5 ай бұрын
So its interesting. Now when I go to the Play Store on the device, I don't get those large icon lists, it all looks standard for a smartphone interface. I can't explain why its different now vs then. Very bizarre.

This looks really cool and will serve a purpose for someone that needs it (that's the beauty of android). Though, why would they put a camera on it?

Yeah I mean, it's obviously not the size of a book... But we spend so much time on the smartphone form factor, this is like a smartphone but MEANT for book reading. Could be a niche audience, but interesting nonetheless.
