Boox - Palma 2 vs Kobo - Libra Colour

The Palma 2 is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 14.3 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.

Pick the Palma 2 if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. The biggest gaps in its favor are storage, weight.

Pick the Libra Colour if the display is what you stare at all day — refresh rate, brightness, or sharpness is where the difference will be most visible. Its strongest claims are screen size, waterproof, color screen.

Both ship with comparable resolution, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.

Bottom line: the Palma 2 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
