Boox Launches New Tiny E-Reader, Competing with Xteink
Boox has announced a new line of compact e-readers called 'Tile,' starting with the Boox Picco. The device features a 3.97-inch front-lit black-and-white e-paper display and expandable storage via an SD card slot, as reported by Good E-Reader. While details like pricing or release date remain unconfirmed, Boox emphasized that it will offer an 'accessible price point.' The Picco is positioned to compete with Xteink’s popular small e-readers such as the $99 X4 Pro model praised for its portability and MagSafe compatibility with iPhones. However, it's unclear if the Boox device will include similar magnetic attachment features or a touchscreen interface. According to promotional images, the Picco appears to have physical buttons but lacks confirmation on whether it includes a touchscreen. The UI is expected to be minimalistic, supporting basic apps like Neoreader and media players.
