I ditched my Kindle for this small phone-sized Android e-ink reader, and I’m not going back
Going from a tablet-sized Kindle to a pocketable and more versatile e-reader is quite an upgrade.
I loved reading as a kid, and I still read now, though less frequently, because I tend to lose myself way too easily in books and end up neglecting work and other obligations to finish them. Still, for the past decade, I’ve had a Kindle of some sort on my bedside table. Not anymore, though. I skipped right past the e-ink tablet category and found an alternative that actually works better for me: the Onyx BOOX Palma 2 ().
It’s smaller, lighter, easier to carry everywhere, more versatile, and after using it for a month, I don’t see myself going back to a Kindle for most of my reading.
