Check out the Boox Palma 2. I love mine and it has an actual operating system (Android 13).

The Palma 2 doesn't have writing support does it?

I have been looking at the Boox Go 7... I have a Boox Note Air and generally like it a lot after the major software upgrade it got when Air 2 was released and also particularly running Android has been quite handy (for syncing journal articles with Zotero). But I am also very curious about Supernote Nomad and may go that way if I decide backlight doesn't matter. I do like backlight for reading in be without bothering my wife...

And so I keep spinning in indecision...

The Palma 2 doesn't have stylus support. I seriously considered the Supernote Nomad, the modular design is neat, but went with the Palma 2 for the backlight and the Boox software, which seems to be superior to Supernote for everything but writing and notes. If my primary use case were note-taking rather than reading, I would have gone with the Supernote Nomad.

Heh I saw that mentioned on a review of this unit, but running Android makes it a nonstarter. The price point is much more reasonable though.

What’s wrong with android? I enjoy that it makes boox devices more expandable. For instance I installed termux and used a bluetooth keyboard for a very interesting development environment (vim + c compiler)

I'm fine with Android, but not Android (or any other OS) from 2022.
