Boox Picco arrives as a compact $109.99 e-reader with microSD support and broad file compatibility
The Boox Picco is shaping up to be a practical little e-reader for anyone who wants a simple, portable way to carry a large digital library. With a listed price of $109.99, the device targets readers looking for an affordable ebook reader that supports flexible file management without being locked into a narrow ecosystem.
One of the Picco’s key advantages is its microSD card support. Users can load ebooks onto the card through a wired USB-C connection using a laptop, making it easy to transfer files directly. For those who prefer wireless options, ebooks can also be added through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth using the Boox Tiles website or the Boox Tiles app on a phone.
File compatibility is another strong point. The Boox Picco supports a wide range of ebook formats, including EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, AZW, AZW5, FB2, FB2.ZIP, FB3, FBZ, TXT, PDB, PRC, RTF, HTML, XHTML, HTM, and CHM. That makes it a versatile choice for readers with existing ebook collections in multiple formats.
The device also allows users to personalize the reading experience by loading image files for the screensaver. Supported image formats include PNG, JPEG, WEBP, BMP, and GIF, giving owners a simple way to add a personal touch to the device.
The Boox Picco is available for pre-order through the company’s official store, with availability expected soon through Amazon as well. Readers interested in other Boox devices can also look at models such as the Go 10.3 (Gen II) Lumi, Go 6 (Gen II), Palma 2 Pro, and Tappy.
For readers who want a small, affordable, and flexible e-reader with microSD storage and extensive format support, the Boox Picco could be an appealing new option.
