While the Amazon Kindle series has long dominated the e-reader market, competitors continue to emerge, offering compelling alternatives. Onyx, a familiar name in the e-reader space, has introduced the all-new Boox Go 6, a 6-inch Android 12-powered device boasting 32GB of storage. Priced at $150, it directly challenges the popular Kindle Paperwhite in terms of price and features.
The Boox Go 6 is particularly notable for its integration of the latest generation Carta 1300 E Ink display technology. This innovative screen promises deeper blacks and brighter whites, resulting in enhanced visual quality and performance. The device is also compatible with the NeoReader app, which supports up to 20 document formats, allowing users to highlight text, annotate, adjust layouts, and utilize text-to-speech (TTS). The app has recently been updated to offer both light and dark mode options.
Running on the Android operating system, the Boox Go 6 grants users access to the Google Play Store, providing a wide array of reading, web browsing, and audio listening apps, including the popular Amazon Kindle app. While tablets like the iPad Pro and iPad Air offer a wider range of features, e-readers continue to hold their own, providing a dedicated and focused reading experience.
The introduction of the Boox Go 6 demonstrates Onyx’s commitment to not only producing e-readers but also continuously updating them both in terms of hardware and software. Onyx has consistently delivered high-quality e-readers in the past, with recent releases like the Onyx Boox Palma and the 2023 Onyx Boox Tab Ultra C gaining significant praise. The Boox Go 6 is now available for purchase on the Onyx website, with initial shipments expected in mid-September.
