How to Read and Annotate EPUB Files on BOOX Go (2026 Guide)

The BOOX Go series (Go 6, Go 7, Go Color 7) are Onyx International's entry-level Android E Ink readers, launched in 2023–2024. They bring Android's app ecosystem — including the Google Play Store — to a lightweight, pocketable E Ink form factor at an accessible price. For EPUB reading you can use the built-in NeoReader, install KOReader, Moon+ Reader, or any other Android reader app. The Go Color 7 adds a Kaleido 3 colour display, making it well-suited for illustrated EPUBs and comic books alongside standard text.
