Warm and cold front light

Change the font, text size, margins, and line spacing, turn on dark mode, highlight quotes, and search inside the book.
Supports the BOOX InkSense Plus stylus
The device supports the stylus with 4,096 pressure levels, for quick notes and writing on your files. The stylus is not included with the device and is sold separately.
32GB storage and support for 26 book and file formats
Store your books in 32GB of storage, and add more space with a microSD card. Open popular formats such as PDF, EPUB, MOBI, Word, and more.
Listen to your audiobooks with your own headphones
The device has no built-in speaker, so you connect your headphones via Bluetooth or the USB-C port to listen to audiobooks and audio files. It has a built-in microphone.
A battery that lasts for days
The 1,500mAh battery gives you days of reading on a single charge, depending on your use.
When should you choose BOOX Go 6 (Gen II)?
It's right for you if most of your reading is novels and text-based books, and you want a small, lightweight device to take with you everywhere.
It may not be right for you if most of your files are A4-size PDFs or books with tables and drawings, because the screen is 6 inches and you'll need to zoom in and out. It's also not for you if you need a color screen, you want a main device for writing and note-taking, or you mostly watch videos and play games.
How is it different from a phone or a regular tablet? A phone or a regular tablet uses a backlit screen, while BOOX uses E Ink, which reflects light like paper, so it's easier on the eyes for long reading and uses less power.
What's the difference between Go 6 (Gen II) and Go 7?
Both devices are eReaders with a black and white E Ink screen at 300 ppi, a warm and cold front light, and a microSD card slot, and both support a stylus (sold separately). Here's how they differ:
- Screen size: 6 inches on Go 6 (Gen II), 7 inches on Go 7.
- Page turning: Go 6 (Gen II) turns pages by touch on the screen; Go 7 has page-turn buttons.
- RAM and storage: 3GB and 32GB on Go 6 (Gen II); 4GB and 64GB on Go 7.
