 Two Books that I am super stoked to get a copy of load on to my Kobo and read. I mean this isn't an extensive list, but they are some of the ones that are popping out at me at this moment.

Does that stop me from wanting  one? absolutely not. Another device that has intrigued me for a little while has been the Boox Palma. Its pricing is quite steep for what it is. Starting at $279.00 (USD) I feel like it would be too pricey for what I would use it for. I actually haven't looked at the specs, but I don'
