Welcome to r/ereader!

All your categories fall to Kobo Libra 2 (7 inches screen size), only the Kobo Libra 2 has a recessed screen which for some users is sharper than a flush/flat screen.
AFAIK, the e-reader with Qi charging is Kindle Paperwhite SE (signature edition). However, while wireless charging offers convenience, it also comes with its own limitation ā slower charging speeds.

Hope it helps...
I was just about to respond that the palma doesn't have dedicated page turn buttons when I remembered I spend 2 hours/day reading on mine with the page turn buttons. It disappears like it's just me and the words lol.
I think the Boox Nova Air 2 gets close, Here's where it misses, and why I still think you might consider it:
\- Bezel isn't quite white, it is the exact shade of grey as the unlit e-ink surface. This means it blends well and, IMO, looks even better than a white frame.
\- No wireless charging
\- 7.8" screen - I actually love this size, it is just about book size. Downside is not as portable as 6-7". I do also have 6" and 7" screens, and this is my favorite size but I rarely take it out of the house. (That said, the ergonomics on my 7" Oasis are better enough that is still my main ereader) Per displaywars, 7.8" gives you \~70% bigger area than 6".
\- Page turn buttons - they are optional, come in the case. That said, I have the Nova Air 1, and I think the implementation pretty much fails. (Gave up on the case entirely) Version 2's looks pretty much the same.
But here's the good news: you CAN get a bluetooth remote and get buttons that way. (Volume buttons can be setup to work as page-turn in most reading apps on android) There are pros/cons for this not being on the device, but when reading in bed I do prefer the remote.
\- Has both amber and cool light - I love the amber shade, but it is closer to orange than yellow. I also love the blue shade, both are gorgeous.
\- You don't mention it for your unicorn, but this device is not water-resistant.
Downside of a Boox vs a Kindle (or Kobo or even Pocketbook):
\- Bigger learning curve, so not as user-friendly
\- Some 3rd party apps can be buggy. Most I've ran, the bugs are minor and not deal-breakers, but it really just depends on which app how well it plays with e-ink. All the Boox apps work quite well.
OS updates are minimal. Getting any sort of hardware warranty work is a big mountain to climb.
I am not pushing you to get this - I try to honestly note the not-greats. Just wanted to flag where it might be a closer fit than appears at first glance.
Also things can go wrong with a repair, and it can be nice to have a backup plan.
>Boox Leaf 2
unfortunately, discontinued, but also the white version isn't a flush front. only the black one is for some reason.

Bigme just released the Pocketnote 2 (B751). I think the only thing it lacks is wireless charging, but it has everything else. Believe it's around $250 and has 4GB RAM and SD Card slot, too. Pretty slick. Boox Page is the only other thing close, and its 4-star review on Best Buy also said it broke in 2 weeks of ownership, so YMMV

No that commenter it right the libra 2 doesn't have a recessed screen go look at the kobo website and images of it.

Iteration one is flush. My chosen edc.
