Introducing BOOX Picco: The 3.97″ Card-Sized BOOX Tile for Pages and Fun
Quick Summary: The Picco is the debut of BOOX's new Tiles category. It's a 3.97″ card-sized ePaper device built for short-burst, distraction-free reading during commutes or daily downtime. It features an ink-crisp 235 PPI ePaper screen with built-in front lights, supports both touchscreen and physical button controls, and offers broad digital format support with deep layout customization. Complete with the included case, it magnetically snaps onto the back of your phone so the two can travel as a single, unified unit.
We're excited to unveil BOOX Picco, the very first release in our brand-new BOOX Tiles lineup—a new branch of lifestyle companions and novelties, a fresh step beyond the classic BOOX Tablets. Picco is a 3.97″ tiny ePaper gadget for pages and fun. Built to go with you like your keys and wallet, Picco turns fragmented moments throughout your day into pure, quiet reading sessions.
The Size of a Playing Card, a Kind of Pocket Fun
At just 3.97 inches and 58 grams, Picco rests effortlessly in your palm and is light enough to carry everywhere. It weaves naturally into the pauses of your day, whether you're in a checkout line or waiting at pickup. Instead of doomscrolling, Picco hands those scattered minutes back and makes reading a pleasure again.
Engineered for a streamlined everyday carry setup, it comes with a dedicated case featuring a built-in magnetic ring. With an easy snap, Picco attaches directly to the back of your phone, so both devices travel as one and your next chapter is always within arm's reach.
Ink-Crisp Display in Any Light
Right on its ultra-compact screen, Picco delivers a crystal-clear reading experience in any lighting condition. The 235 PPI ePaper display utilizes anti-aliasing to smooth out fine text, rendering every letter crisp, clean, and legible.
To ensure a gentle visual experience from bright midday sun to late-night reading, the built-in front lights let you easily adjust brightness and color temperature. For added convenience, the customizable Function Switch allows you to toggle the front lights or shift the reading theme to Dark Mode with a single flick.
Read Your Way, Tweak Everything
Built around your personal reading habits, Picco gives you complete freedom with deep customization options. It supports a wide range of eBook formats and allows you to fine-tune fonts, margins, and line spacing to a just-right layout. Navigating your books is just as flexible—turn pages using the responsive touchscreen or physical buttons, and easily rotate the display in four orientations.
With an included 16GB microSD card out of the box (and support up to 2TB), you can carry thousands of books. Getting them onto the device is frictionless with the BOOX Tiles app or booxtiles.com, offering three quick transfer options wirelessly from your phone, remotely over the web, or through a direct USB-C connection.
A Playful Little Thing That Does More
Beyond dedicated reading, BOOX Picco is a charming, playful gadget. You can dress it up with custom screensavers such as your favorite artworks or motivational quotes to showcase your personality, or stick it to a fridge for stylish decoration with the magnetic case. With a minimalist operating system, it brings a sense of lightness, free from bloated menus and visual clutter. When it's time to switch gears, Picco doubles as a practical tool, packing integrated utility apps like Pomodoro timer for study sprints, Todo for quick check-ins, and Countdown to build anticipation for your next big milestones.
Who the BOOX Picco is for
BOOX Picco is designed for passionate readers, commuters, travelers, and anyone who wants to read more without being anchored to a bulky carry or constantly pulled away by phone notifications. By combining a card-sized form factor, an eye-comfort ePaper screen, and tactile physical controls with a lightweight ecosystem, BOOX Picco is a delightful daily accessory that turns life's smallest pockets of time into your next favorite chapter.
BOOX Picco is now available for pre-order at the official BOOX Shop.
