The device supports handwritten notes, sketching, and document annotation. Memory increases from 2GB to 3GB of RAM. The e-reader combines traditional e-book functionality with digital note-taking capabilities, positioning it as a multi-purpose device for reading and productivity. Boox currently offers the Go 6 (Gen II) for preorder at $199.99. The device competes directly with Kindle e-readers and Kobo devices while offering an alternative to dedicated digital note-taking devices like the reMarkable and Supernote.
