We’ve known about Boox’s most recent lineup of E Ink tablets and e-readers since October. The Palma 2, Note Air4 C, and Note Max were all announced on the same day, and today the Note Max is finally available in the US, UK, and EU. Units are expected to ship in the US around the 21st of the month, so next week, essentially. Keep in mind this is the biggest device in the lineup at 13.3 inches; the black-and-white Carta 1300 screen should easily handle media of all sizes, so if you’re looking to view A4 documents as well as edit them with a pen on a display that you’ll never need to zoom, Boox has you covered with the launch of the Note Max.

Boox may have announced the Note Max last year, but only today is it officially available in the US, UK, and EU for $650. What you get in return is a rather large E Ink tablet that runs Android 13, sporting a 13.3-inch Carta 1300 screen, which is notable as this is the latest screen tech from E Ink, offering fast page turns with quick screen refreshes.
Something to keep in mind is that the Boox Note Max does not offer any front lighting; there is no lighting at all. You’ll have to rely on ambient light to see the screen, which is a trend we see across a few of the more popular note-taking e-readers like the Supernote Nomad and the Remarkable 2.

Simplicity and capability in a single package
The Boox Note Max is something of a niche device for those who are looking for a large E Ink screen to read A4 documents without the need to zoom (you can, but you won’t need to with such a large screen), and it sports a price that reflects this, at $650. In order to drive that screen, the Note Max offers a 2.8GHz Octa-core CPU and 6GB of RAM, plenty of enough power to run Android’s many apps, which will come in handy in expanding the usability of this tablet beyond its defaults.
