Boox has revealed fresh details regarding its upcoming Picco e-reader, a compact device slated for an official release in November. The reader features a 3.97-inch touchscreen e-paper display and includes physical page-turn buttons that support customizable actions for both short and long presses.
Unlike many of Boox’s Android-powered offerings, the Picco runs on a streamlined Linux-based operating system that includes a few handy utilities like a timer and task list. Notably, it lacks onboard storage, relying entirely on a microSD card for books, while offering file transfers via USB-C and Wi-Fi connectivity.
