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

If XTeink decides to make a bigger device, I think this is the ideal size
There are so many great 6-7" e-ink readers already. Not saying xteink couldnt make their version of such a device a great one but to me the size of x4 and x3 is what really differentiates them from the competition. I have the Boox Go 7" and the x4 and to me that's the perfect combo - Boox at home an

What is the absolute best budget e-reader by tier? Looking for the "cheapest you'd actually recommend"
Not sure why people rave about the Xteink X4. It's an interesting enthusiast's device, but it doesn't even have a frontlight. I wouldn't recommend it as Baby's First E-Reader. Clara BW is a really great choice for the price. You can get a GlowLight 4 used for a really great price, but you have to tw

X4teink vs M5 paper S3
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

Why doesn't any company make a real barebones e-reader?
I would second recommendations for most Pocketbook devices or the Xteink X4. I totally get that the X4 is really small though, but it fits everything else. You may be interested in some DIY kits too. There's a whole other level of difficulty to it but, not only is it rewarding, you would get to know

Anyone else using the Miyoo Mini to read books?
I love the Miyoo Mini, but I prefer e ink for eBooks. Ordered yesterday a Mini eink device (Xteink X4), that would be a great companion for the Miyoo Mini 😁

Are really phone sized ereaders worth it? Can people use it daily and finish books in a regular basis?
i have read so many books on my smaller ereaders (former palma owner, own both the Xteink X4 and X3, as well as an Obook5). so long as you're okay with reading on the smaller screen, it's great to have something that's always in your pocket / bag / purse / on you in some way. Especially with the X4

Alright guys, what random cool gadgets are we asking for Father’s Day?
I have one already and love it, though thought you gents might like this idea: X4 pocket e-reader It's great since I'm trying to avoid screens around my 3 month old. This doesn't draw his attention, it has buttons to easily hold and turn pages in one hand. The only downside is no backlight, and it's

Easiest/cheapest?
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. Even very old ones (15 years old) s
