Yo team — Boox just refreshed its popular Go 6 ereader and added something that makes it way more than a simple reader: full stylus support! The tablet itself costs $200, and if you want note-taking, the InkSense Plus stylus sits at about $45 — bringing your total package to roughly $245. Preorders are open right now with shipping kicking off June 17th across all four new colors they've launched. The built-in note app is what I'm genuinely excited about though; you can write directly on the pages, underline passages as you go, and create handwritten to-do lists — which turns this tiny device into a serious portable planner for your reading sessions.
Under the hood there are some solid hardware bumps worth highlighting before anyone buys in. You get an upgraded 3GB of RAM making things feel much more responsive than previous models plus 32GB storage with a microSD slot for as many books as you can fit. The display is its signature 6-inch monochrome ePaper panel at 330 PPI, and it's incredibly slim — the whole thing weighs just over five ounces so you can carry it in one hand all day. It runs Android, which means Play Store access, but I will say that apps on an ereader frame rate is hit or miss depending on what you open, though battery should still last days under normal use. Boox added stylus support to the Go 7 last year too so they know how this lands — whether $45 extra for a pen is worth it when your alternative is a bigger device with no handwriting option is my only real hesitation here.
