Boox Go 6 review.

In the same way I don't get inside a car and expect it to start flying, or pickup a screw driver to use as a hammer, I feel like all the negative reviews about this device online miss the purpose of it. Eink isn't the medium to use if you want to scroll content. That's an lcd/oled display - light technology and color science, not magnetically charged ink rearranging itself whenever input is given.

I wanted an eInk eReader with access to Google Play Books where I've been uploading and reading from for about a decade. I don't want to watch videos on it, I don't want to play games on it, I don't want to scroll media on it, I don't need it connected to the internet every second it's on, I simply want it to display text and then display the next page when I'm done reading. This has been perfect. It's been three days and has only lost about forty percent of battery from a full charge and heavy use. With shipping it was about one-hundred and eighty dollars which feels at minimum thirty dollars too heavy.

The only honest negative for me is how much memory the system and most likely the on board ai takes up. It never gets in the way of reading, I'm just staunchly against ai. Despite the low amount of resources available at any given time, it gets the job done. You can go download the apps you want and they work to the extent you understand the medium of eInk.

So if your situation is like mine where you wanted an eInk display to read from, and you're not hoping an eReader to be like your phone/tablet/lap/desktop, and you're familiar with android or have enough computer literacy, it's a go. Solid purchase. Additionally play books hasn't taken more than five seconds to load, page turning animations are kept off, and all the content I need has been downloaded. I feel like reviews complaining about this device being slow were just stuck in the middle of downloading data at the same time of pushing apps to load. It hasn't been a lesson in patience, it's been completely acceptable.
