## Boox Enters the Note-Taking Arena with New Go Series E-Readers

Boox is expanding its e-reader lineup with the introduction of the Go 7 and Go Color 7 Gen II, marking the company’s entry into the seven-inch e-reader market with stylus support. This feature, already offered by Kobo on its Libra Colour, allows users to take notes and annotate documents directly on the E Ink display. What sets the Boox devices apart is their Android 13 operating system, providing access to a broader range of content and applications.

The Android platform enables users to access both Amazon’s Kindle Store and Kobo’s bookstore, while also allowing them to install their preferred note-taking apps from the Google Play Store. This open ecosystem provides greater flexibility compared to devices running proprietary operating systems.

The Boox Go 7, featuring a monochromatic E Ink Carta 1300 screen with a resolution of 300ppi and adjustable screen lighting, is currently available for preorder at $249.99 and is expected to ship on May 7th. The device sports an asymmetrical design with a built-in grip and page turn buttons. It includes 64GB of storage, expandable via microSD, and supports audiobooks through a built-in speaker or Bluetooth headphones. While the Go 7 is water-resistant, it’s not fully waterproof.

The Go Color 7 Gen II, priced at $279.99, shares similar specifications to the Go 7 but incorporates an E Ink Kaleido 3 screen. This screen is capable of displaying up to 4,096 colors at 150ppi or black-and-white content at 300ppi, similar to the Kindle Colorsoft.

Both e-readers are compatible with Boox’s InkSense stylus for note-taking and annotation. However, the stylus is sold separately for $45.99. The addition of stylus support to Boox’s smaller e-readers offers a compelling option for users looking for a versatile device for both reading and note-taking.
