THE FUSE

The people at Boox would probably dispute the Palma 2 Pro's status as a direct Kindle alternative, primarily because it doesn't consider the device to be an ereader per se. The company prefers to label it as a mobile e-paper device, and its form factor admittedly makes it look more like a pared down smartphone than a digital paperback. But if you like the idea of carrying your entire book library in your pocket and don't mind the smaller display, it's a great option.
