The Boox Palma 3 brings an Android update and a premium design to the brand’s compact ereader range

Boox has unveiled its latest compact ereader, the Palma 3, which brings a refreshed Android operating system and a premium design to the brand's small device lineup. This phone-sized ereader features a 6.13-inch screen and boasts key upgrades such as Android 16 support, a stylus, and an upgraded build. The device competes with the ViWoods AiPaper Reader, offering a range of features, including a textured fiberglass backplate, an anodized aluminum frame, and an active stylus support with the Boox InkSense Plus stylus.

While the device has a 6MP camera, the AiPaper Reader lacks this feature, while both devices come with a 16MP sensor. The Palma 3 also offers more storage options and runs on a more recent Android version, making it an appealing option for those in the market for a phone-sized ereader. Priced at $339.99 (around £250 / AU$475), the Palma 3 is positioned as a more budget-friendly choice compared to the Palma 2 Pro, which costs $399.99 (roughly £235 / AU$450). Although the Palma 3 is not yet available for purchase, it is expected to launch soon.
