The holiday season is approaching quickly, and it’s time to start thinking about gifts for the important people in your life. ePaper products can make everyday tasks a little easier and more organized.
Pro tip: search for coupon codes, there are more than you’d think there would be. I found one from CNET for $50 off the BOOX Palma.

For the readers:
eReaders allow you to take an entire library anywhere you go. If you have a big reader in your life, one of these devices may be the perfect gift. There are many different brands that make eReaders, and different options from each brand, so we’ll just go through a few of them here.
- eReaders from Kobo can be customized to exactly what you are looking for. They have different size options, some have page turn buttons (which are a fan favorite), and you can also choose if you want it to be in color or black and white. Some Kobo eReaders are also stylus compatible, meaning eNote use cases too! These eReaders have a range of prices but start at $129.99.
- The BOOX Palma, specifically, is a great option for someone who usually reads on their phone. It’s the same size as a phone, but with all the benefits of an ePaper display. There’s an updated version that recently came out, so either one could be a good option depending on what features you want. The BOOX Palma has Android OS, so you can do more than just read on it. This device starts at $295.98.

For the note takers:
eNotes are the perfect gift for someone who is constantly writing things down. Instead of having pieces of paper everywhere and having to worry about losing something, why not get a device that keep it all in one place and can easily be brought anywhere?
- reMarkable: These eNotes are perfect for distraction free writing. There are no notifications so you can fully focus on what you’re working on. reMarkable devices are useful for writing, note taking, editing documents, marking up pdfs, drawing, and reading. You can upload and download PDFs and ePUB files, and you can also integrate Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive. The reMarkable 2 (from $379) is the black and white version, and the reMarkable Paper Pro (from $579) is the newest model, and in color.
- The BOOX Note Air4 C is a great option if you’re looking for a color eNote. It has Android OS so it can be used like any other tablet, while still being better for your eyes. Because of this, it can also keep your notes organized and synced to any software you use. The pen, extra tips, and a case is included when purchasing, making it perfect for someone who may just be getting into eNotes. The BOOX Note Air4 C starts at $499.99.
- The Kobo Elipsa 2E is the perfect in between device since it can be used as both an eReader and an eNote. The 10.3” display allows for extensive note taking, but also more space for reading. You can mark up or edit PDFs and other documents with ease as the stylus is included. The Kobo Elipsa 2E starts at $399.99.
Accessories and more:
If the person you’re shopping for already has one of these devices, a good idea may to be to get them an accessory. Here are a few good options:
- For reMarkable: Book Folio or Type Folio
- A protective case for their device that matches their personality
- A PopSocket, strap/handle, or ring that attaches to the back of the device
- If they have an eNote: new stylus tips
- If they have an eReader: a gift card for the reading application (Kobo Plus, Kindle Unlimited, etc.)
ePaper devices offer a versatile and thoughtful gift option for the holiday season. Whether you're shopping for an avid reader, a dedicated note-taker, or someone who loves tech accessories, there's an ePaper product to suit their needs. Don't forget to look for coupon codes to save on your purchase and consider accessories to complement their new gadget. Happy holiday shopping!
