Boox e-readers 15% off for back-to-school
BOOX offered a 15% discount on its e-readers and tablets from July 10 to August 10, 2025, through its official online store in the United States. According to BOOX officials, the back-to-school promotion aimed to support students and educational institutions in organizing academic materials for the upcoming semester.
The 2025 back-to-school promotion from BOOX runs from July 10 to August 10 and applies to its e-readers and tablets sold through the official BOOX Shop online store in the United States, according to the company’s news blog and official website. The campaign is positioned as a support initiative for students and educational institutions to help organize academic materials for the upcoming semester. BOOX describes itself in promotional materials as a “leading brand in ePaper technology,” emphasizing the academic use of its devices.
During the sale, BOOX offers fixed-amount discounts on select models, including $20 off the Note Air4 C and $30 off the Palma 2, both shipped from the U.S. warehouse, officials said.
The Palma 2, a compact reading and productivity device, is listed at a discounted price of $269.99 in the U.S. and £249.99/€269.99 in European markets, according to AndroidGuys. The Go Color 7 e-reader, featuring a Kaleido 3 color ePaper display suitable for viewing color diagrams and educational content, is priced at $219.99 in the U.S. and £219.99/€219.99 in the EU during the promotion. The Note Max, marketed for reading large academic documents with its Carta 1300 E Ink display, is offered at $629.99 in the U.S. and €629.99/£599.99 in the EU.
BOOX also maintains a separate bulk purchase program for institutional buyers, allowing schools and organizations to combine volume discounts with seasonal promotions, although specific stacking rules for discounts were not detailed by the company. The promotion is available through BOOX’s U.S. online retail channel, but similar back-to-school sales occur in Europe via a distinct BOOX EURO Shop, which offers localized pricing and promotions, sources confirmed.
While the official 2025 back-to-school sale emphasizes fixed-dollar discounts, third-party coupon platforms document 15% off promotions on various BOOX and Onyx e-readers, including the Air 3C, Note Air 5c, and Go 7 models. These 15% discounts, verified as of May 2026, require the use of promo codes at checkout and are not explicitly labeled as part of the 2025 back-to-school campaign. Coupon aggregation sites list these deals alongside other promotional offers, such as 25% off the Onyx Palma and up to 70% off selected items, indicating a broader promotional ecosystem beyond the official seasonal sale.
User forums and community reports indicate that BOOX has historically used a combination of percentage-based discounts and tiered fixed-amount coupons during back-to-school periods. Codes such as BOOX15OFF, BOOX30OFF, and BOOX50OFF provide discounts of $15 off orders over $300, $30 off over $500, and $50 off over $800, respectively, according to user-shared information. However, these codes are not formally confirmed by BOOX and appear alongside official promotions rather than as direct components.
The 2025 back-to-school sale continues a pattern of seasonal promotions by BOOX and its Onyx brand, which have previously included discounts on large-format devices like the Onyx Boox Max 3 and Note 2. For example, past sales reduced the Max 3 from $859 to $779 and the Note 2 from $549 to $519, reflecting the company’s approach to making study-oriented e-note products more accessible during academic buying seasons.
Overall, the BOOX back-to-school promotion is part of a multi-region, multi-channel strategy that combines fixed-dollar and percentage discounts, bulk purchasing options, and targeted academic messaging. Verified sources include the official BOOX Shop blog, the BOOX Back to School 2025 landing page, and independent coverage from outlets such as AndroidGuys and openPR. Coupon sites and user forums provide additional context on ongoing promotional codes and discount structures used by BOOX into 2026.
