Overview

  • Boox announced the Go 6 (Gen 2) in a June 8 press release and opened U.S. and EU pre-orders at $199 (€199.99).
  • The device uses a 6-inch monochrome ePaper panel at about 300 PPI with anti-glare glass and adjustable front light and warmth for day and night reading.
  • It runs Android 11 with the Google Play Store, letting users install third-party reading apps and productivity software rather than relying solely on the vendor’s reader app.
  • Hardware includes an octa-core processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB storage with microSD expansion, a 1,500 mAh battery Boox says lasts several days, and support for the InkSense Plus stylus for handwriting and annotations.
  • The Go 6 (Gen 2) is a global rebadge of the China-only Poke 7 Pro and signals Boox’s push to offer pocketable, app-capable e-readers that give readers the choice to keep existing libraries and use third-party services.
