Panel 1

*Alex is holding a sleek, redesigned Boox Palma 3 e-reader and looking at it with wide-eyed enthusiasm. Sam stands behind him, looking skeptical.*

Alex: Oh wow, look at this! Boox just gave the Palma 3 a total makeover!

Sam: What’s different? It’s still just a glorified calculator with a screen.

Panel 2

*Robin bursts into the room holding a stylus and a bunch of colorful pens. Alex eagerly shows Robin the stylus support feature while Sam looks on unimpressed.*

Robin: Can I draw on it? Cool! It’s like a digital sketchbook now!

Sam: Yeah, because everyone needs an e-reader that’s also a drawing tablet.

Sam: If it’s worth it, I’m sure I’ll be the first in line... not.
