Boox Go 6 (Gen II) Adds Stylus Support for Note-Taking

Hey tech enthusiasts! Get ready for an exciting update from Boox, the company known for its E Ink devices. They've just announced a new iteration of their smallest e-reader, the Go 6 (Gen II), and this one brings some serious upgrades, especially for those who love to jot down notes or mark up documents.

The original Go 6 impressed with its 6-inch, 300PPI E Ink screen, and the Gen II model keeps that fantastic display. But the real magic happens under the hood and with added capabilities. Boox has bumped the RAM from 2GB to 3GB, which should make for a smoother experience. More importantly, it now fully supports Boox’s InkSense Plus stylus. This means you can now sketch, annotate PDFs, or simply write down your thoughts directly on the screen, turning your e-reader into a more versatile digital notebook.

For those eager to get their hands on it, the Boox Go 6 (Gen II) is up for preorder right now for $199.99, with shipping expected to kick off on June 17th. Now, a heads-up: the InkSense Plus stylus, priced at $45.99, isn't included in the base price. However, you can snag a bundle that includes both the e-reader and the stylus for $232.99. While this bundle is a bit pricier than Amazon's entry-level Kindle, the added note-taking functionality offers a compelling alternative for users who need more than just reading capabilities.

This move by Boox to integrate stylus support into its smaller e-reader is a smart one. It caters to students, professionals, and anyone who finds themselves constantly switching between reading and taking notes. The combination of a crisp E Ink display and pen input opens up a world of possibilities for on-the-go productivity. We're keen to see how this enhanced Go 6 performs in real-world use!
