X4

This may be a bit of a rant but here’s my perspective: The product XTEINK are busy selling is a small e-ink screen, not a book reader. The device is really cool because it’s minimalistic and pocketable but in order to be a book reader it lacks: decent epub rendering capability: it improved recently

Crusoe, by simply furnishing a device that cater to the very essence of no frills reading. You have more than fulfilled your duty! Everyone is thrilled to have your device and ride with every development that comes out whether it is from the community or yourself. I myself have flashed crosspoint bu

Yes I own both. Xteink X4 is a e reader device and it is meant for reading ebooks. The screen is brighter, more contrast, its size is ergonomic enough to hold and press jts button. M5 Paper S3 is an eink device and it can support many other use-cases than reading ebooks. It has touch screen but the

Real pocketsize comes with the xteink x4. It has a own subreddit. Fantastic device. Not for beginners and the use of calibre is necessary, but totaly worth it!

The unique value presented by the X3 and X4 products is their industrial design / aesthetics that cannot easily be replicated by a DIY PCB and 3D printer. These slim, "feel good in your hands" designs require l

Can you read books on the X4 via Onleihe (the German system for library books)? If you mean your local library's ebook lending system (German or otherwise), the answer's almost certainly NO. For that to happen, someone who knows the inner workings of the library system needs to write custom firmware

The FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH and Piracy subs have megathreads where you can find websites to get ebooks from. I suggest you check those out. From what I've seen, colored e-readers aren't recommended since they have a poorer tech quality. Complaints of text being less sharp and more blurry compared to non c

Xteink x4 needs a better casing I seen some on Etsy that are better than the one that the company website is selling. Obook5 has a backlight it's okay if you need a mini E-reader from what I'm gathering and definitely more durable in comparison to x4 plus it has buttons and it's a touch screen, I he
