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

Seconding the posts suggesting looking at second-hand readers - e-readers have fragile screens but otherwise it’s tech that holds up well, so a second-hand Kindle or Kobo or PocketBook that is in a decent shape (the screen is intact) will be fine for this purpose.

There are reasons why most e-readers don't have glass screens... Reflections and worse light diffusion even when matte, weight, comprised contrast being some of them. Stupid idea IMO. It's not even that I don't care - I specifically don't want this in my device given the drawbacks it would ensure. P
