BOOX Go 6 Gen 2 or Go Color 7 Gen 1?
I'd go with G6G2 over the GC7G1. I have the Boox go color 7 gen 2, and being able to add a stylus is really nice. With what you're wanting to do I'd say the Gen 2 of the 6 fits your needs. The black and white ereaders have crisper text, and if you're not needing color I'd opt for that. Here's a comp

Need E-reader recommendations!!
the only ones that fit your description are the Boox Go 6 Gen II and the Bigme B6. I am very reluctant to recommend Bigme to anyone because of the poor quality of their software engineering, and the Go 6 II has excellent handwriting support in addition to being cheap and having a clear, nearly ghost

My first e-reader help
agree with most of this although the Bigme B7 Pro is the best one to get right now imo if you want good pen support. the best small reader with pen support right now, if you're optimizing for quality of pen output, is by far the Boox Go 6 Gen II though. no color version of that, at least not yet. if

Thoughts on the Boox Go 6 (Gen II)
I'll add that it's better than other Boox capacitive pen experiences like the go 7 gen II. Not as good as the 10.3 Lumi but serviceable

AI features being pushed/hard to disable on e-ink tablets/phones.
I've owned a Viwoods Mini for about 6 months now and have never once used any of its "AI" features. They just aren't useful for the most part, and at worst they give an opportunity for data leakage I never asked for. The reason I got it was that it was a portable device with high-quality writing, a

What e-ink notebook for reading and taking notes 6/7/8 inches?
Came here to report that I just got my Boox Go6 Gen II and I was pleasantly surprised how the writing experience is so much better than the Leaf 5+! There some sort of coating or microetching in the screen that gave it a bit more friction. I also noticed less latency and was pretty accurate with my

Need help with a choice.
I'm now at a point where I'm recommending the Go 6 Gen II over the Go Color 7 II or the Go 7 because the handwriting support is MUCH better than on either of those other devices, despite the fact that they are both faster, have more RAM and have a more recent (13) version of Android than the Go 6 (1

Recommend me an e-reader
I am really loving my new Boox Go 6 Gen II. it's a great little reader and has shockingly good pen writing support on top of that.

Need help with a choice.
the Go 6 Gen II uses the "new" USI 2.0 active pen protocol, which is the opposite of proprietary. it's actually so open that a lot of makers including Boox, until recently, implemented it half-assed and made it look terrible. there are currently two devices from them with first-class USI 2.0 impleme

Is there something better than a kindle
the one someone already recommended to you, the Boox Go 6 Gen II, is probably my favorite super-portable e-ink device I've ever used. I would not worry about getting super distracted on it because it isn't really powerful enough to go crazy with. but it has a fantastic screen and is a great way to g
