Buying call

Skip the Palma 2 Pro for pure reading and buy the $249.99 black-and-white Palma 2 instead: Boox lists the Pro at $379.99 (Oct 8, 2026), and reviewers found its color screen dimmer and softer than the Palma 2's. The Pro's real upgrades are a 5G data slot, Android 15 and stylus support. Buy it if you want an always-connected pocket E Ink device for podcasts, read-later apps and handwritten notes. It can't make calls or send SMS, and the stylus costs extra.
