Boox is taking on Xteink with its own tiny e-reader

Boox is developing a new line of small e-readers, beginning with the Picco, which will feature a 3.97-inch front-lit e-paper display and an SD card slot for expandable storage. This move positions Boox to compete with Xteink’s popular small e-readers, though it remains unclear if the Picco will offer MagSafe compatibility or a touchscreen. The Picco is expected to have an accessible price point and a simplified user interface focused on basic applications.
