Boox, the company behind the Palma pocket e-reader, has revealed its most affordable device yet. At just $149.99, the Boox 6 Go It features a six-inch 300 ppi e-ink display in a wider format than the Palma for reading on the move.
The device uses an upgraded Carta 1300 e-ink display that supposedly offers deeper blacks and brighter whites. Like many other Boox e-readers, the Boox 6 Go is fairly lightweight, weighing just 146 grams (or 5 ounces) and measuring a quarter-inch thick.
Along with Android 12 and the Google Play Store, it runs the latest version of Boox’s firmware, which features a minimalist interface, a dark mode option, and a new handwriting tool. The Boox 6 Go ships with a 2.0Ghz octa-core processor and 32GB of storage. But it only has 2GB of RAM, which could slow down performance, especially if you want to download and use Android apps.
Either way, the Boox Go 6 might be a good choice if you're looking for an e-reader that's a bit larger than the Palma, but cheaper and more portable than its other options, like the Go to Color 7 or the Go 10.3.
