Reminder: don't buy things from Amazon.

Like, anything.

"But fast shipping!" No. Stop. Most places now have pretty good shipping, often for free if you happen to buy a certain amount. It's OK if the thing comes in 3-5 days and not tomorrow. You will survive.*

*I know there's a couple of niche cases where some people do need things quick and Amazon serves that purpose. But 99.999% of things are not that.

Kobo and Boox are better at making eReaders anyway.

I never heard of Boox.

I might get the Palma to replace my nearly dead Sony Reader.

Thank you for bringing that brand to my attention.
