TL;DR BOOX launched its new Go 10.3 (Gen II) series, delivering Android 15 and performance improvements.
The lineup now includes two models, a standard version for use in natural lighting and the BOOX Go 10.3 (Gen II) Lumi, which adds a dual-tone front light for low-light use.
Both models are available now, priced at $419.99 for the standard version and $449.99 for the Lumi model.
As e-ink tablets continue to branch from niche reading devices into lightweight productivity tools, BOOX just introduced its new BOOX Go 10.3 (Gen II) series. The lineup includes two updated models that build on the brand’s existing 10.3-inch offering, including one with a highly-requested built-in front light.
The standard Go 10.3 (Gen II) looks fairly familiar to the first generation, with a thin, lightweight build and an e-ink display meant for use in mostly natural lighting. It measures 4.6mm thick, weighs 360g, and keeps the same distraction-free approach that made the original BOOX Go 10.3 popular.
The Go 10.3 (Gen II) Lumi, meanwhile, adds a dual-tone front light, something many users requested after the first generation launched without one. The lack of lighting was one of the most common criticisms of the original tablet and an oversight that stood out compared to market competition. The Lumi model fixes the shortcoming while still staying thin and lightweight at 4.8mm and weighing 364g.

The move to divide the lineup mirrors a broader trend in e-ink tablets. Amazon’s latest Kindle Scribe lineup also includes multiple models, ranging from a version without a front light to a premium Colorsoft model with a color display. For now, BOOX stops at lighting differences as both models are black and white only. Beyond the lighting difference, the two share the same core hardware. Both feature a 10.3-inch E Ink display with 300PPI resolution and support stylus input. The tablets offer seven pen types, 24 built-in templates, and FreeMark, which allows users to write directly on the screen, even in apps that wouldn’t normally support annotations. The tablets can also record audio to accompany written notes.
