The Bigme B6 is a neat little e-reader that brings colour into the compact 6-inch format, running Android 14 and offering a full Google Play experience. Lightweight (around 176 g) and designed for one-hand use, it’s ideal for portable reading.

On the plus side: text reading is smooth, app support is generous thanks to Android, and the inclusion of a micro-SD slot plus 64GB storage means you’re set for a hefty library. The colour E-Ink display (Kaleido 3) offers visuals for comics or lighter imagery, which is a nice touch.
But there are compromises. The colour screen is noticeably darker than typical black-and-white E-Ink panels — you’ll often need the front-light on. Also, some users note that certain refresh modes for comics or video bring ghosting or lag. For pure text reading, this device performs well. If you want large-format PDFs or heavy comics, the 6-inch size may feel limiting.
Verdict: If you’re after a compact, full-Android e-reader with colour for a reasonable price, the Bigme B6 delivers. It’s not flawless — screen brightness and refresh quirks show the current limits of colour E-Ink — but for daily reading on the move it offers strong value.
