Boox Announces the Picco, Its Smallest E-Reader Ever (2026)
The Boox Picco is a palm-sized e-reader with a 4-inch screen, strong support for different ebook formats, and digital utility tools.
Boox has revealed the Picco, its most compact e-reader to date, with preorders now available. The Picco boasts a screen size of 3.97 inches, smaller than both the Xteink X4 Pro and the upcoming Boox Palma 3. The device weighs in at $100 and is set to deliver in November. Boox Picco features a monochrome display with a resolution of 235 pixels per inch and an adjustable front light that can toggle between warm and cool tones.
It comes equipped with a microSD card slot capable of holding up to 2 TB of memory (16 GB card included), physical page-turn controls along with a touchscreen, and a magnetic ring to attach it to smartphones. The Boox Picco runs a streamlined operating system designed for reading and digital utility tools, making it the first in Boox's Tiles lineup.
The company has also included digital utility apps such as Pomodoro, Todo, and Countdown, providing users with an e-reader and productivity tool in one device.
