The back features a textured finish that provides a secure, comfortable grip, preventing slips during long reading sessions.
The flush glass screen offers a premium look and protects the display from scratches. Additionally, the device is built with a water-repellent design, protecting it from splashes, rain, or accidental spills, making it a reliable companion for travel and outdoor use.
Size and Weight
Compact and travel-ready, the device measures approximately 156 x 137 x 6.4 mm. It is thin enough to slip into a purse or coat pocket without adding bulk.
Weighing just 195g, it is lighter than many smartphones and standard paperbacks. This featherlight construction ensures you can read for hours without experiencing wrist fatigue.
Battery Life
Powered by a 2300mAh battery, the Go Color 7 is optimized for endurance.

It charges quickly via USB-C, ensuring you are never without your library for long.
Ease of Use
The Gen II is designed for intuitive interaction. The built-in G-Sensor automatically rotates the screen, allowing you to switch hands seamlessly.
