The most notable part about this ePaper gadget is the Carta 1300 screen, the latest generation of E Ink display technology. It brings enhanced visual quality and performance to this monochrome eReader. Compared with its predecessors, Carta 1300 delivers deeper blacks and brighter whites, which will greatly improve the reading experience. Book lovers can enjoy sharper texts and images on an eye-friendly screen.
To complement its high-quality display, Go 6 offers a versatile reading app, NeoReader. This native app opens up to 20 document formats and is packed with a wealth of reading features, with which users can effortlessly highlight, annotate, adjust layout, and use TTS. Most importantly, NeoReader is constantly being upgraded and iterated upon through the BOOX team’s continuous updates. For example, the latest firmware V3.5.3 allows users to choose a light or dark mode, switching between a clean calming feel or a futuristic high-tech vibe.
Unlike most brands that stick to closed systems, Go 6 runs on an open Android OS. Each device has been preinstalled with the Google Play Store, offering users direct access to their favorite apps for reading, web browsing, and audio listening. It gives users the choice to personalize their device. Such flexibility reflects the values that the Go series pursues.
Despite its compact size, the Go 6 comes with good hardware specs. To guarantee robust performance for seamless page turns and app launches, it is equipped with an Octa-core CPU. Besides, there is an expandable microSD card slot so that users can easily add more storage and never run out of space for their favorite novels. Inside this eReader is the chic, minimalist UI and a series of useful built-in apps such as BOOXDrop, PushRead, and AI Assitant.
Designed for on-the-go reading, Go 6 is an ideal travel mate. At a slim 6.8mm thickness and a mere 160g, it’s comfortable to hold for extended reading sessions. For frequent travelers, it is small enough to fit in a pocket yet powerful enough to carry a whole library, and the durable battery lasts days on a single charge, ensuring endless reading delight during journeys.
As a massive e-reader user hopefully we get one in for a full review.
