Boox has introduced the Picco, a compact e-reader designed for readers who want to strip away distractions and focus solely on text. The device targets users who prefer a dedicated reading tool over multifunctional smartphones or tablets. By limiting features to essential reading functions, it offers a simpler alternative to complex e-ink tablets.

The Picco measures 105.5 x 62 x 5.5 mm and weighs just 58 grams, making it significantly lighter than standard e-readers. It features a 3.97-inch monochrome ePaper touchscreen with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, which delivers 235 pixels per inch. This small form factor allows the device to fit easily into pockets or small bags.

Specifications

  • Display: 3.97-inch monochrome ePaper
  • Resolution: 480 x 800 (235 ppi)
  • Weight: 58 grams
  • Battery: 920 mAh
  • Connectivity: USB-C, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth

Boox has equipped the Picco with a 920 mAh battery and connectivity options including USB-C, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. The unit comes with a 16 GB microSD card for storing ebooks in formats such as EPUB, MOBI, and AZW3. It also includes physical page flip buttons and an adjustable light with selectable color temperature for comfortable reading in various lighting conditions.

The device runs a simplified operating system that includes focused productivity apps like Countdown, Pomodoro, and To-Do lists. A key design feature is its MagSafe compatibility, which allows the Picco to attach securely to magnetic surfaces like Apple iPhones. This configuration supports users who want to keep their reading device within immediate reach without carrying a separate case or stand.

The Boox Picco carries an MSRP of 109.99 USD (around $110) and is currently available for pre-order directly from the company website. The device will also be sold through Amazon in the near future. This pricing positions the Picco as an affordable option for readers seeking a minimalist, portable e-reading experience.
