Onyx Boox Launches Back-to-School Discounts on E Ink Tablets
Onyx Boox has activated a back-to-school promotion covering its E Ink writing tablets and e-readers, as reported by Good e-Reader.
Discounts of up to 15% apply across the lineup through August 23, 2026, on both the official BOOX website and the brand's Amazon storefront. For readers evaluating a dedicated device for PDF-heavy newspaper workflows, the campaign concentrates on three hardware tiers that warrant measurement against typical document rendering requirements.
Discount mechanism and SKU mapping
The 15% ceiling manifests as either a direct price reduction or as bundled accessories included with the order, varying by product. The clearest price anchors published in the promotion are the Boox Palma 2 Pro at $380, the 13-inch Note Max standard bundle at $630 (a $60 reduction, inclusive of tablet cover and stylus tips), and the BOOX Go 10.3 Gen 2 with $20 off. Any order placed through the BOOX site additionally includes a free TAPPY Bluetooth page-turner remote — a typewriter-styled wireless controller with a stated 10-meter operational range.
Hardware specifications for document workflows
The Palma 2 Pro pairs a 6.13-inch Kaleido 3 color E Ink panel with a dual-resolution rendering profile: 300 PPI for monochrome text and 150 PPI across the 4,096-color layer. The unit weighs approximately 175 grams inside a water-repellent shell, integrates a dual-temperature front light with ambient light sensing, and supports the InkSense Plus stylus alongside a 16 MP rear camera configured as a document scanner. The compact form factor favors single-column and mobile newspaper layouts over full broadsheet reproduction.
The Note Max standard bundle delivers an A4-equivalent 13.3-inch E Ink Carta 1300 monochrome glass display at 3200 × 2400 resolution and 300 PPI. The device supports finger touch and the BOOX Pen Plus stylus with 4,096 pressure levels. The panel omits a built-in front light, which mandates ambient or external illumination for operation. Thickness measures 4.6 mm and weight approximately 615 grams. The resolution density and screen area align this unit directly with full-page PDF newspaper rendering and two-column scholarly layouts.
The Go 10.3 Gen 2 line ships in two variants on Android 15, both running a 10.3-inch E Ink Carta 1200 layer at 2480 × 1860 and 300 PPI. The standard "Classic" edition drops the front light entirely for reflection-free outdoor reading at 350 grams. The "Lumi" variant adds a dual-tone CTM front light and weighs 364 grams. Both measure 4.8 mm thick. The 300 PPI density at this screen size supports standard letter-sized documents and most newspaper PDFs without aggressive zoom, though it falls short of the Note Max for full A4 fidelity.
Pre-purchase verification
Three checks should be performed before completing a transaction. First, confirm whether the listed discount applies on the BOOX website or the Amazon storefront, as pricing and bundle composition may diverge between channels. Second, verify the shipping destination for the TAPPY page-turner inclusion, since the bundled remote is confirmed only for site-direct orders. Third, assess front-light requirements against the intended reading environment: the Note Max and the Go 10.3 Classic both omit integrated illumination and require external light sources for low-light operation, whereas the Palma 2 Pro and Go 10.3 Lumi include dual-temperature front lighting.
