Some unofficial Picco pre-release information, which may or may not change for the actual release, I guess:

An ereader that is "adorable"?

Humanity, indeed, has fallen into a dark hole. [Murakami.]

Things that are not adorable:

Old people with wrinkles
Toilets
Pillows with mold
Dirty dishes
One shoe on the side of the road
Killer clowns
Pimples
Nose hair trimmers
A dead skunk on the road
Ebook readers

Chalid has a review of the Picco with a pre-release: https://youtu.be/TIYzfKqKjM0
The device does not support the epub file format natively. Epubs have to be converted to opub. What utter rubbish.

You may be able to flash Crosspoint, but Chalid does not have the official released version of Picco.

Unfortunately no mention if the Picco supports dictionaries natively. I guess, it does not.

There are some questions about the Boox Picco answered here, including re: USB transfer, Crosspoint, Koreader and Calibre (they’re working on compatibility with Calibre and Koreader apparently):

More interesting looks the Moov Pro, but that might be an elaborated hoax with a small e-ink display with 300 ppi.

Yes, I'm interested to see what that amounts to. I'm unsure if a 300 PPI screen exists at that size at all.

And even if it does I wonder if the hardware is up to it. The screen refreshes are considerably slower on the X3 compared to the X4 due to higher PPI, according to one of the CrossPoint devs.

There is a small 3.2" eInk display with 800x480 resolution which a quick calculation shows as having a 294 PPI display which is close enough to 300PPI that a 300 PPI 4.5" screen is not beyond belief though that would have a 1080 x 810 resolution assuming 4.5" is the screen diagonal and not the entire package diagonal.

Seems to be all sorts of small ereaders coming out onto the market. I wonder if Kobo or Amazon will be jumping on this trend? I have a Kobo Libra 2 which I love, but darn is it ever hard to fit into a pocket.

Boox has received FCC approval for the Picco, clearing the way for official sale in the US. But the filing also reveals Boox plans a Picco color, with a total of 6 Picco models (Picco Pro, Picco Plus, and Picco Color series).
