My rec would be a Boox Poke5.
Backstory: I had ordered a white Palma in January, but that was taken by my teenage daughter (who loves it, and probably would recommend that), so I was on the hunt again myself. After seeing a Poke3 in person, I ordered a Poke5 because it is exactly the size of a thin-ish A6 notebook, so also very pocketable and considerably smaller than, e.g., a Kindle Paperwhite. I lost this one to a cousin who goes on a year-long world trip this week (I showed it to her and then spontaneously let her keep it, as she seemed so enamoured), so ... I need yet another small reader.
Based on my/our experiences with the two models, I will order another Poke5, because as great and snappy and chic the Palma is, I do find the screen ratio on the Poke5 nicer for reading. And it is cheaper. And, tbh, the Poke5 does all it needs to do for me, which is running the Kindle app (after a weird two-step activation process for the PlayStore), also run InstaPaper and ReadEra Premium, and synch the reading progress etc. to my other Boox devices.
