My birthday is coming up and I am thinking of getting a gift (either for myself or having someone else pitch in) of a new e-reader. I found my old kindle but the screen is scratched up and the file system is… very annoying, and I would need to take time to sort it out on a busted screen. I do have an iPad mini which should theoretically be a perfectly good e-reader, but. Like. I’m gonna be straight here. I love devices.

I am contemplating getting the Boox Palma, which is an Android-based ereader styled like a phone, but with e-ink. You would have access to Android apps so kindle AND Libby and whatever else would be easily accessible, along with music apps (which has long been a complaint of mine with my past e-readers, for some reason I feel like they should be able to play music) and podcasts and the like. It has a huge amount of battery life, too.

I guess the questions are… is it going to be competing with my phone to the point that my phone will “win” and I don’t use it, or will it being Android and nearly all my other devices being Apple mean that it feels locked out and inconvenient? I’m not sure. But I dunno. My birthday is real close…
