Boox's latest ereader, the $200 Go 6 (Gen II), builds on its predecessor by adding stylus support and a redesigned suitcase-inspired body, appealing to readers who want the flexibility of Android apps rather than being locked into Kindle or Kobo ecosystems. As an E Ink device running Android with access to Google Play, it lets users read, buy, rent and listen to books and documents through whichever apps they prefer, though its use of the outdated, no-longer-updated Android 11 is a notable drawback in 2026.

The device comes in four colours and works exclusively with Boox's £46 InkSense Plus stylus, sold separately or bundled at a small discount. It has 32GB of storage, expandable via microSD, and a compact six-inch, 300PPI display comparable in size to entry-level Kindle and Kobo Clara BW models. At around 160 grams it is light and comfortable for extended reading, with an adjustable front light, though it lacks any IP rating for water or dust resistance and its 1,500mAh battery lasts days rather than the weeks offered by rival devices.
