Electrophoretic displays, and the tablets that feature them, have come a long way since the early days of the Amazon Kindle, and in 2024 you’ve got your pick of some fantastic feature-rich easy-to-read E-Ink tablets. The high-contrast, low-power screen tech that enables this niche is just unparalleled when it comes to eye comfort, and pairing that with Android adds a lot of flexibility and value to the equation. This week, BOOX is introducing its latest eReader, the Android-powered Go 6.
If you find full-blown tablets a little unwieldy, the petite BOOX Go 6 might be just about your speed. Its 6-inch screen uses E Ink’s latest B&W Carta 1300 panel and features a density of 300 ppi. BOOX gives its tablet dual-tone front illumination, giving it some flexibility in terms of color temperature. The whole thing measures just 6.8mm thick, and weighs a mere 146g, coming in smaller than most smartphones. That’s a big deal when you’re working your way through a novel, and holding the screen upright for hours on end.
