BOOX has introduced the latest additions to its portable eReader lineup—the Go 7 and Go Color 7 (Gen II)—bringing stylus-enabled note-taking, a refined user experience, and color or monochrome display options to a 7-inch form factor. Designed for reading enthusiasts and idea-jotters alike, these Android-powered devices aim to balance comfort, versatility, and creativity in a compact footprint.
Two Displays, One Purpose: Read and Write Anywhere
The BOOX Go 7 features a 300 PPI Carta 1300 monochrome display, delivering crisp, paper-like clarity for extended reading sessions. The Go Color 7 (Gen II) steps up with an E Ink Kaleido 3 panel, combining 150 PPI color rendering with 300 PPI black-and-white sharpness—well-suited for digital comics, illustrations, and vibrant content.
Both models include an adjustable front light for comfortable viewing in varying conditions, and for the first time in BOOX’s 7-inch range, handwriting support via the BOOX InkSense stylus. Users can mark up documents, scribble notes, or highlight passages directly on-screen, expanding each device’s usefulness beyond casual reading.
Lightweight Portability Meets Practical Power
At just 195 grams, the Go 7 series is easy to hold one-handed, making it ideal for commutes or reading on the couch. Wide bezels and new ergonomic page-turn buttons help with navigation, and the lightly textured back enhances grip. Both models feature a water-repellent finish, offering peace of mind against spills or drizzles.
Internally, each unit runs Android 13, giving users access to the Google Play Store for downloading apps—whether for books, news, podcasts, or planning tools. They’re equipped with 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage, expandable via microSD, to handle a broad mix of content.
Color options include black and white for the Go 7, and a navy-toned black for the Go Color 7 (Gen II).
