Boox’s tiny Picco e-reader should land in November

Boox’s tiny Picco e-reader, first teased in July, is now expected to arrive in November, though pricing is still unknown. The device has a 3.97-inch touchscreen e-paper display, physical customizable page-turn buttons, no phone-attachment magnets, and reportedly relies entirely on microSD storage.

The Picco reflects growing interest in ultra-compact e-readers that prioritize portability over full tablet-like features. Its microSD-only approach and lack of magnets suggest Boox is positioning it as a simple standalone reading device rather than a phone accessory, testing demand for minimalist e-paper hardware.
