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

No other e-

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

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

I haven’t touched my Kobo because I can’t sync to it, and don’t feel like finding the page I’m on. Page number 6,879 doesn’t really equate to anything of meaning for other normal-sized eReaders. I’m reading IT currently, and started reading the physical book, but have read a good 20% on the X3. I ju

Best hostel - WPU Hakone, by far. Most importantly, it is 50m from the Gora funicular rail (the first or last part of the hakone loop) so effortless access. It also has an Onsen. Even without those 2 things this would be in the top (not many...) of nicest hostels I've ever stayed in. The e-reader is

• font size: normal and small * page turning: fast * marking/highlight text: no (no-touch screen, it is a button-operated device) It is very limited in everything. It really is not more than a toy that offers only one thing: reading texts and (most) epubs. I find the screen very nice that makes for very

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

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)

Cheapest: Xteink X4. It'll do what you want, but is 4". Roughly $50 shipped on aliexpress. Fails on the night reading requirement since it doesn't have a built-in light. But it's the cheapest. Highest value: TCL Nxtpaper 70plus. It's a just released $400 smartphone with e-reader mode you can get for
