The Boox Picco debuted at IFA 2026 and is reportedly coming out in November
At IFA 2026, the Boox Picco reportedly made its debut in Berlin. Rumors are swirling around the device so here's what we know about its price, release date and potential operating system.
The Boox Picco, a tiny e-reader from the tech and e-reader space, made its debut at IFA 2026 in Berlin. This 3.97-inch screen e-reader, which was first teased in July, is expected to hit the market this November. The device is rumored to be priced around $100, though the company has not confirmed this information. The most significant development about the Boox Picco is its operating system, which is reportedly based on Linux.
This means the device will have a closed system, without access to the Google Play store, and will likely only support DRM-free books. Unlike other Boox e-readers such as Xteink X3, X4, and X4 Pro, which run on Android and support multiple apps like Kindle and Libby, the Picco will not have a MagSafe attachment, feature page-turning buttons, and all storage will be through a MicroSD.
