Boox is taking on Xteink with its own tiny e-reader

Boox is developing a new lineup of tiny e-readers, called Tile, to compete with Xteink's compact devices. The first model, the Picco, features a 3.97-inch front-lit, black-and-white e-paper display and expandable storage via an SD card slot. Boox has confirmed the Picco is in the works, with plans to offer it at an "accessible price point", although specific details such as specs, price, and release date have not been disclosed. The Picco's front-lit display may position it as a rival to Xteink's $99 X4 Pro e-reader.
