This compact device boasts a 3.97-inch ePaper touch display and is now up for pre-ordering at a price of $99.99, which includes shipping options for the United States.\n\nThe BOOX Picco, part of the brand's new \"Tiles\" series, promises to bring a significant reduction in size while maintaining a high-quality reading experience. It features a screen size of under four inches and a footprint no larger than a credit card, making it an appealing choice for those seeking a more compact, pocket-friendly e-reader.\n\nUnlike many competitors, the BOOX Picco does not run on Android. Instead, it comes equipped with a series of handy apps, including a countdown and a Pomodoro timer, designed to enhance the reading experience. These features, combined with its small size, make the BOOX Picco an attractive option for users looking to reduce screen time on larger devices.\n\nThe e-reader's ePaper touch display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, providing a sharp and clear reading experience. Like other BOOX models, the Picco allows users to adjust the frontlight's warmth, ensuring comfortable nighttime reading. The Picco joins a growing trend of tiny e-readers that have become increasingly popular, offering a minimalist alternative to high-resolution phone displays.",
