Popped out of bed today wanting to make this and my voice wasn't QUITE warmed up yet, but here are my very disorganized first impressions of the Boox Palma, which I bought on impulse because I'm not here to pretend I always make careful decisions.
tl;dw: I need to give it a couple of weeks to prove if it's going to be useful for me.

00:00 What... is it?
01:30 Setup / feeling Android-curious
03:55 Responsiveness, refresh options, buttons!
05:33 In which I figure out a scrolling problem in real time
07:23 Existential gadget questions & will this actually help me as a writer/teacher?
11:40 Speaker, microphone, camera oh my, but are they useful? Maybe.
13:45 Why some of us like e-ink even though it's objectively a downgrade.
16:00 The front light, other features, and shoutout to ‪@MyDeepGuide‬
16:58 Typing with external keyboard (make your own Freewrite!)
19:00 Conclusion...for now.

(Side notes: the poetry book is Tania Runyan's What Will Soon Take Place; the Kindle book was Judy Blume's In the Unlikely Event.)
