Boox has announced the Palma 3, its updated smartphone-sized e-reader with stylus support and a redesigned form factor. The device launches at $339.99, a $60 increase from the Palma 2.

The Palma 3 maintains the 6.13-inch black-and-white display of its predecessor while introducing stylus functionality for note-taking and annotation. The refresh marks the first major update to Boox's compact e-reader line in nearly two years. Key upgrades include the new stylus capability and physical redesign, though Boox has not detailed all hardware improvements. The price jump from $279.99 to $339.99 reflects the added features and potential performance enhancements. The device is expected to become available soon. Boox positions the Palma 3 as a portable e-reader alternative to larger tablets, targeting users who want smartphone-sized form factor for reading and note-taking. The stylus addition expands its functionality beyond basic e-reading.
