Xteink X3 Live Now
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

Lightest e-ink devices
Check out xteink x4, it's 74g. Note that the software is very limited as it runs on the ESP32-C3 MCU. There is also Obook 5 at 100g. No need to ask here, just open https://comparisontabl.es/e-readers/ and sort the table by weight to see them all. Screenshot of the top lightest devices:

How to Read Other Languages on X4

Got myself the smallest e-reader so far: the XTeink X4!

X4 Alternatives
Xteink x4 needs a better casing I seen some on Etsy that are better than the one that the company website is selling.

Xteink X4: close but not quite (for me)
Here's the review. As an XTeink V4 owner, I agree with this guy's thoughts, except for the backlight. While I wish it had a light, I mostly use it while out and about during the day, so lighting isn't an issue. In a moment of retail therapy, I decided to buy the Xteink X4 for $69. If the X4 had (1)

XTEink X4
You can adjust text size, spacing and fonts but it's not as easy as with other readers. You have to use a separate Software on a computer to do that. Search for XTEink Toolkit.

Manga and Comics
For manga and comics on the X4, the key is getting your zips properly formatted as CBZ first most zip comic archives are basically CBZ already, so just rename the .zip to .cbz and make sure the internal images are JPG/PNG in page order. Then hit up an online CBZ-to-XTC converter; it'll optimize for
