Boox Quietly Unveils Picco, a Pocket-Sized E-Ink Reader

Boox teased the Picco, a 3.97-inch monochrome E Ink reader that would be Boox’s smallest device yet and the first in a new Tile line. It will feature a front light and microSD expansion and is expected to run a modified Android OS, potentially enabling access to Kindle, Kobo, and Libby apps—giving it a competitive edge over rival pocket readers like Xteink. Pricing isn’t announced, but it’s anticipated to sit above Xteink’s entry models, signaling Boox’s continued push into ultra‑compact e‑readers.

Switching from Kindle to Kobo: benefits, limits, and the reality of device obsolescence

Amid Amazon’s move to discontinue software support on 13 devices, including several Kindles, readers are weighing a switch to Kobo. Kobo often matches Kindle on speed and usability and adds features Kindle lacks—page-turning buttons on the Libra Colour, Libby/Overdrive integration, and lower color-model prices—but switching isn’t a guaranteed fix for obsolescence: both brands periodically retire devices and stop updates, and you can’t transfer Kindle purchases to Kobo due to DRM (your books stay tied to the Kindle ecosystem or the Kindle app). If you stick with Kindle, you can still use older devices offline or consider a used Kindle; otherwise, Kobo offers strong advantages with the caveat of future updates and DRM constraints.
