CNET’s exclusive code brings this neat phone-sized e-reader to its record low price
The best E Ink tablets certainly let you read, but they also have other useful features like note-taking. On the other hand, some can be a bit chunky. That’s where the phone-sized Boox Palma comes into the picture. This smaller e-reader is the lowest price ever for $230. And to sweeten the deal, it also comes with a free flip cover and free shipping. The only catch? You must use the CNET exclusive discount code, CNETBOOX50to get the full discount. Do you prefer to shop at Amazon? You can get the Boox Palma for $246 on Amazonbut it costs more and doesn’t come with the free case.
You can use this handy device to read books, listen to podcasts, watch the news and use other apps thanks to the Google Play Store. It has a beautiful E Ink screen that gives it a unique look, and you can also customize it with different widgets. It is convenient and its size makes it comfortable for most people to use.

If you prefer something more traditional, you can always check out the best tablet deals. However, we think this is one of the best gifts for readers, which is important with the holidays approaching.
Why choose the Book Palma over a tablet?
An E Ink tablet is ideal if you only want to use it at home, or in a hotel when you are on holiday. But if you want to read more in small chunks throughout the day, a tablet can be inconvenient. The smaller Palma is an easier way to carry some reading material with you when you’re waiting for the bus, on the train or wherever.
Is this a good deal?
This is the lowest price this device has ever received. If you’re someone who wants it, this is your best chance yet to get it. We previously saw this product drop to $246. It’s also likely that we’ll see the Palma pulled from shelves once the recently announced Boox Palma 2 is released, so we’d be surprised if we see another sale soon, if at all .
