Boox is moving into the ultra-compact e-reader segment with the Boox Picco, a device positioned as a challenger to Xteink’s pocket-size readers. The new model appears aimed at people who want a highly portable reading device rather than a larger traditional e-reader.
Based on the available details, the Boox Picco will include a 3.97-inch front-lit display. That small screen size suggests a product designed for easy carrying, while the front light should make it more practical for reading in dim environments.
Another notable feature mentioned so far is expandable storage. That could help the Picco stand out for readers who want to keep more books or documents on a very small device without relying only on built-in capacity.
With the Picco, Boox is clearly targeting a niche that has drawn attention from compact e-reader fans, especially those interested in Xteink’s tiny form factor. While the trimmed report does not include broader details such as pricing or launch timing, the Picco already looks like a direct play for the pocket e-reader market.
