For years and years, I exclusively used Uni-Ball rollerball pens, even receiving boxes of them as Christmas and birthday gifts… until they switched Micro from .3mm to .5mm. I write small so the extra .2mm was just to chunky for me. 
And on-topic: I am a pen/pencil on paper guy. I hate drawing or writing on an iPad and usually only do it for support purposes. I also prefer real books, ink on paper, dog-eared and well loved. I do not like to read full length books on a monitor or mobile screen.
Agreed I cannot do long form reading on my phone. Kindle has helped however.
You read my mind. I use to travel to Mexico a lot. My Samsonite suitcase was ladened with books. Now all I’d really need is my iPhone.
I moved from Chicago to San Diego to Chicago. I moved all my books cross country and back. I still have a lot of books but it is not so ridiculous. And digitally so many books are now readily available.
I studied Spanish in college. There were TWO Spanish bookstores in all of Chicago that carried fine literature. Now the books are readily available. (I’m not sure what the point I was going to make was!) But I don’t even have to usually visit the library. If I want to find something new to read, the possibilities seem endless and readily available.
I love physical books. I even sell vintage Nancy Drew books. However, I carry around hundreds of books on my trusty iPhone!
It is wonderful and mind-boggling that we have so many options with digital and analogue media.
I envy the people that can read longform on their phones. I would get through so many books that way. The Kindle suffices for me on that though and I am really Eyeballing the Palma.
How is a Kindle different or advantageous? I used one from the library several years ago. And I’m assuming the Palma is better still. How so?
The advantage of reading on a phone for me is that it’s always with me. Anywhere I have a few spare minutes I can read.
The Kindle is designed to be single purpose – an ebook reader. The Palma is an Android device with an ePaper display.
I love my Kindle Oasis for reading. Page turn buttons (a massive win for me), Not heavy, thin, Distraction free, front lit e-ink (easier on the eyes than a LCD or LED display), long lasting battery, and the ability to carry many books.
Why Palma vs Kindle? thank you
See @tomalmy’s comment above. Being able to run some Android apps (the ones that would still be functional on an e-ink screen) would be useful to some people.
Distraction free, not back-lit 24/7. I want the Palma so that I am not bound to the Amazon ecosystem and still have access to apps when I make the leap to the Light Phone. (The library app hoopla is Phone only and they do Ebooks.)
Because the underlying OS is Android, you can instal apps for Kindle and Kobo books, as well as Libby (to borrow ebooks from Overdrive supporting libraries).
