The Boox Palma 3 gets stylus support and a sleek redesign
Boox has announced the Palma 3, a smartphone-sized e-reader featuring a new anodized aluminum design and support for an active stylus. While it retains the screen technology of its predecessor, it includes updated internal hardware and runs on Android 16.
Why it matters
The device represents a niche but growing market for portable, distraction-free digital reading and note-taking tools.
Nearly two years after the last update to Boox’s smartphone-sized black-and-white e-reader, the company announced the Palma 3 with a sleek redesign, new functionality, and a handful of other small updates that may justify its significant price bump depending on how you plan to use it. While the Palma 2 launched in 2024 for $279.99, the Palma 3 will be $339.99 and is expected to be “available soon.”
