What happened
Boox launched the Palma 3 e-reader with stylus support and a redesigned chassis.
Boox has unveiled the Palma 3, a 6.13-inch Android e-reader that adds stylus support and a refined aluminum-and-fiberglass chassis.
The big new angle is the InkSense Plus stylus, sold separately for $46, which gives pressure-sensitive note-taking on the E Ink screen.
For note-takers and Android power users, the Palma 3 bridges the gap between a pocket smartphone and a dedicated reading device.
Background
Boox has been shipping the Palma line as a pocket-sized Android e-reader for note-takers and readers who want a smaller alternative to big Kindle Scribes.
Why it matters for me
Note-takers get pressure-sensitive annotation on E Ink, but the price jumps 21% over the Palma 2.
