The Palma 2 may be small, but it packs a punch
Boox’s lightweight e-reader gets a new processor and fingerprint sensor
The Palma 2 looks to improve upon the original Palma with a faster octa-core CPU, and a fingerprint sensor. Boox says the Palma 2 retains its compactness for “easy one-handed use.” A faster CPU should hopefully help make the Palma 2 more snappy and smooth. The fingerprint sensor is integrated into the e-reader’s power button, making it easier to quickly unlock the device with one hand.
The Palma 2 is also running Android 13 instead of Android 11 now. While it’s still a couple of generations behind Android 15, being on Android 13 will give the Palma 2 a few more years of life as developers still support and update apps for its operating system.
The Palma 2 has a 6.13-inch 300 PPI E Ink Carta 1200 screen, which offers the same paper-like clarity as the original. It also has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
The new Boox Palma 2 is available for preorder today in ivory white or deep cyan black for $280. The Palma 2 is the same price as the original Palma, but is still more expensive than other e-readers, such as the recently announced $200 Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition.

In addition to the Palma 2, Boox has also announced two new tablets will be joining its lineup of devices, the Note Air4 C and the Note Max.
The Note Air4 C has an upgraded color E Ink screen that provides it with a brighter background, as well as enhanced contrast for a better visual experience. Boox says “users can adjust refresh settings to optimize the display for different tasks, such as reading, browsing, or viewing detailed visuals.”
It has an advanced Octa-core CPU and 6GB of RAM which Boox says will give it a 50 percent performance boost. Boox says the Note Air4 C is the first in the Note series to feature a tablet-like UI which allows users to easily customize the home screen and how they organize their apps.
Finally, Boox is also introducing the Note Max, a new black-and-white tablet with stylus capabilities. It features a 13.3-inch E Carta 1300 display and a super-powerful 2.8Ghz octa-core CPU. The tablet is also just 4.6mm thick.
