PREORDER NOW: As of Sept. 28, preorder the Boox Picco, a 3.97-inch e-reader. You can purchase the tiny e-reader for $109.99 and get it as soon as it’s released in November.
For months, Boox has been teasing its new tiny e-reader. The Boox Picco was first unveiled in July with an in-person debut at IFA 2026 in Berlin. Now, the device is officially available for preorder.
The Boox Picco is a 3.97-inch e-reader. It’s part of the brand’s new Tile collection. While Boox’s other e-readers like the Palma and Go 6 are classified as tablets, the Picco is a Tile, likely to differentiate between operating systems.
Unlike Boox’s tablets, the Picco Tile doesn’t have an Android operating system, meaning you can’t access any additional apps since there’s no Google Play Store. Instead, you’ll read from the Picco’s native library. It does have some extra apps, including a Pomodoro timer and Todo (a to-do list app). We suspect it’ll operate similarly to Xteink e-readers, which are best for DRM-free files. To get files on the Picco, upload them either with a USB-C cable or with the new Boox Tile app.
It’s about the size of a deck of cards and can even attach to the back of an iPhone with MagSafe. It has a dual-tone front light so you can adjust both the warmth and brightness. It has a power button plus a page-turning button on the side. There’s also a function switch on the side that swaps the device between front light and dark mode.
The Boox Picco retails for $109.99. It’s now available for preorder on Boox’s site. No exact ship date has been provided, but according to Boox’s site, the device will ship in October. However, a Boox representative said it will ship by November.
If you’re ready to extend your Boox e-reader collection, preorder the Boox Picco now for $109.99.
