Overview
- BOOX opened preorders Monday, Sept. 28 on the BOOX Shop with a company‑stated starting price of $99.99 and an expected November shipping window.
- The Picco is a card‑sized eReader with a 3.97‑inch 235‑PPI monochrome ePaper display that weighs about 58 grams and includes a magnetic ring case for phone attachment.
- The device ships with a 16 GB microSD card, supports expansion up to 2 TB, and accepts files via the BOOX Tiles companion app, a web transfer page, or USB‑C.
- BOOX positioned Picco as the first product in its new Tiles line and it runs a streamlined non‑Android OS that blocks Google Play access, trading app availability for a simpler, low‑distraction experience.
- The Picco joins a growing market for tiny, phone‑back eReaders and could give users a lightweight way to cut phone screen time, though early listings and press coverage show small discrepancies in U.S. price and ship estimates that buyers should confirm before ordering.
