Overview
- Boox opened preorders Thursday, June 11, and said shipments of the Go 6 (Gen II) are expected to begin Wednesday, June 17.
- The reader is priced at $199.99 and the InkSense Plus stylus is sold separately for roughly $46, with a bundle option listed at $232.99.
- Key hardware includes a 6‑inch 300 PPI E Ink display, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of built‑in storage with microSD expansion, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, an adjustable front light, and a 1,500mAh battery.
- Software upgrades are the headline change: the device runs Android 11 with Google Play so users can install Kindle, Kobo, and other reading apps, and Boox adds a native notes app plus stylus support for annotations and handwriting.
- Boox positions the Go 6 as a middle ground for people who want a pocketable reader with occasional note‑taking instead of paying more for a dedicated notepad, though reviewers note the handwriting experience is likely less refined than pricier pen‑first tablets.
