Boox Announces the Picco, Its Smallest E-Reader Ever (2026)

Boox 发布其有史以来最小的电子阅读器：Picco (2026)

While smartphones won’t stop getting bigger, e-readers seem to be getting smaller. Boox has been at the forefront with one of the most popular small e-readers, the Boox Palma, and now it is adding an even smaller model.

尽管智能手机的尺寸不断增大，但电子阅读器似乎正变得越来越小。Boox 一直处于这一领域的前沿，其推出的 Boox Palma 是最受欢迎的小型电子阅读器之一，而现在，他们又增加了一款更小的型号。

Boox announced the Picco, with preorders opening today. Its screen is just under 4 inches (3.97 to be exact), making it about the size of a playing card. It’s even smaller than the Xteink X4 Pro I tested earlier this year, which has a 4.3-inch screen (but just slightly larger than the 3.7-inch Xteink X3), and considerably smaller than the upcoming Boox Palma 3’s 6.19-inch screen. I liked the size of the Xteink in my hand, but navigating the interface and getting books were challenging, so I’m excited to see another option in that smaller size from a maker with more accessible ebooks (though still not as convenient as a Kindle or Kobo with their built-in stores).

Boox 宣布推出 Picco，并于今日开启预购。它的屏幕尺寸不到 4 英寸（确切地说是 3.97 英寸），大小约为一张扑克牌。它比我今年早些时候测试的 Xteink X4 Pro（4.3 英寸屏幕）还要小（但比 3.7 英寸的 Xteink X3 稍大），并且比即将推出的 Boox Palma 3 的 6.19 英寸屏幕小得多。我喜欢 Xteink 的手感，但在操作界面和获取书籍方面存在挑战，因此我很高兴看到来自另一家厂商的同类小尺寸产品，该厂商的电子书获取方式更为便捷（尽管仍不如内置商店的 Kindle 或 Kobo 那样方便）。

The Picco will cost $100 and is expected to ship in November. I’ll be testing it soon, but in the meantime, here are the details if you’ve been eyeing a tiny e-reader.

Picco 的售价为 100 美元，预计将于 11 月发货。我很快会对它进行测试，但在此之前，如果你一直关注小型电子阅读器，以下是相关细节。

An E-Reader for Productivity

一款主打生产力的电子阅读器

The Boox Picco has a monochrome screen with a resolution of 235 pixels per inch and an adjustable front light that switches between warm- and cool-toned lighting. The microSD card slot supports up to 2 TB of flash memory storage (a 16 GB card is included). There are both a touchscreen and physical page-turning controls, thanks to the buttons on the side of the device. The case has a magnetic ring so you can attach it to the back of a smartphone, though I’ll have to see how well it fits when I test it, as I had mixed results attaching an Xteink to my phone due to both fit and magnet strength.

Boox Picco 配备了一块分辨率为 235 PPI 的单色屏幕，并带有可在冷暖色调之间切换的可调节前光。其 microSD 卡槽支持最高 2 TB 的闪存存储（随附一张 16 GB 存储卡）。设备侧面的按键提供了物理翻页控制，同时支持触摸屏操作。保护壳配有磁吸环，因此你可以将其吸附在智能手机背面。不过，我需要在测试时观察其贴合度，因为之前我尝试将 Xteink 吸附在手机上时，由于贴合度和磁力强度的原因，效果并不理想。

Boox says the Picco will have a streamlined operating system focused on reading and digital utility tools. It’s also the first in what Boox calls its Tiles lineup, which is how you’ll access ebooks on this device. You can also use web and USB-C file transfers (the Picco has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity) to get ebooks onto the Picco. The Picco also has the Pomodoro, Todo, and Countdown apps, so you can use it as both an e-reader and a productivity gadget—handy, and a bigger motivation to keep it attached to the back of your phone even when you aren’t reading.

Boox 表示，Picco 将搭载一个专注于阅读和数字实用工具的精简版操作系统。它也是 Boox 所谓的“Tiles”系列中的首款产品，该系列是你在该设备上访问电子书的方式。你还可以通过网页和 USB-C 文件传输（Picco 支持 Wi-Fi 和蓝牙连接）将电子书导入 Picco。Picco 还内置了番茄钟、待办事项和倒计时应用，因此你可以将其同时作为电子阅读器和生产力工具使用——这非常方便，也让你更有动力在不阅读时也将其吸附在手机背面。

I’m intrigued to see it in action. Boox’s most popular e-reader could become the Picco over the Palma 3, but we’ll have to wait for both devices to become available to see which is the better buy. Stay tuned for my reviews of both when they come out.

我很期待看到它的实际表现。Picco 可能会取代 Palma 3 成为 Boox 最受欢迎的电子阅读器，但我们必须等到两款设备都上市后，才能判断哪款更值得购买。敬请关注我后续对这两款产品的评测。
