Boox has launched the next iteration of its compact e-reader, the Go 6 (Gen II), expanding its capabilities beyond traditional reading to include handwritten note-taking and sketching. The device retains the same 6-inch, 300PPI E Ink display as its predecessor but upgrades the internal memory to 3GB RAM and introduces stylus compatibility via the new InkSense Plus stylus.
A versatile alternative to Kindle and Kobo
The Go 6 (Gen II) is designed for users who want more than just an e-reader. With stylus support, it transforms into a digital notepad, allowing users to annotate documents, sketch ideas, or jot down quick notes. This feature set positions it as a direct competitor to Amazon’s Kindle and Kobo’s e-readers, which lack native stylus support in their base models.
The device runs on Android 11, providing access to the Google Play Store and a wide range of productivity apps. This flexibility makes it a compelling choice for professionals, students, and creative users who need both reading and note-taking capabilities in a single device.
Pricing and availability
The Go 6 (Gen II) is now available for preorder at $199.99, with shipping expected to begin on June 17th. The InkSense Plus stylus, priced at $45.99 separately, can be bundled with the e-reader for $232.99. While this total is higher than the entry-level Kindle’s $139.99 price tag, it still undercuts competitors like Kobo’s premium models that offer similar stylus functionality.
For users considering a transition from traditional paper-based note-taking, the Go 6 (Gen II) presents a modern alternative. Its E Ink screen minimizes eye strain, while the stylus support bridges the gap between digital and analog workflows.
Should you upgrade from your current e-reader?
If your current e-reader lacks the ability to take handwritten notes or annotate PDFs directly, the Go 6 (Gen II) offers a significant upgrade path. Its combination of a high-resolution E Ink display, ample RAM, and stylus support makes it a strong contender for those seeking a multi-purpose device.
For now, Boox’s latest release challenges the status quo in the e-reader market by pushing beyond the limitations of traditional models. As digital note-taking continues to grow in popularity, devices like the Go 6 (Gen II) may redefine how we interact with written content on the go.
