# Boox Go 10.3

> The Boox Go 10.3 is a 10.3-inch monochrome E Ink tablet built for readers and note-takers who want a sharp 300-ppi page, pen input, broad file support, and access to Android apps without carrying a conventional tablet. Its thin, light hardware and flexible software make it unusually capable, but the original model has no front light, no microSD slot, and a basic stylus with no eraser.

- **Launched:** 2024
- **Platforms:** android
- **Pricing:** Paid. The original Go 10.3 launched in June 2024 at a US list price of $379.99 and was listed by the official BOOX store at $359.99 when checked in August 2026.
