X3

sorry this happened. I had something similar happen to me for my last to xteink devices. The x4 came broken, and the x3 broke out of the blue. And you are right the quality of these devices are really bad, and a lot of people here will just mock you if you pointed that out.

Multi million dollar production setup vs a year old startup You more or less get what you pay for. Not saying X4/X3 are bad in comparison, but Kindles obviously have better materials. If this is your first, you need to be aware Xteink requires some tinkering, its open source, and might not provide a

The Xteink X3 is a top-tier device. Its form factor is excellent, and it features a higher PPI screen. If you can wait, there may be an X3 Pro model released later this year with a touchscreen and a backlight. If you don't care about those features, the X3 is an excellent purchase.

I’m going to chime in with a sentiment I’ve seen in the comments already, just to add another voice requesting it: better build quality and a frontlight. I’ve been very lucky to receive two working devices (out of two), an x3 and x4, but I am concerned on button longevity. They feel noticeably ‘loos

Kaleido 3 seems to have panned out, everyone on the eink subs are in love with their shitty colorsofts for some reason. I just want a B&W Kobo Libra, or an updated Sage, but these things are impossible to come by, so I'm in your boat. I will say, the Xteink x3 at $60 was too good to pass up so I did

"Fits on the back of your phone" was a good marketing hook but it's a really silly way to carry the device, IMHO. The magnets are too weak, for one thing, but more than that, if the goal is really "distraction free reading" having it on the back of your phone is going to make it way too easy to flip

I got and X4 first then decided to jump on an X3 when Xteink had a sale on their website. It was exactly what I wanted and fit perfectly in my petite hands. TBH, I should’ve gotten the X3 in the first place because it was exactly what I was looking for in a mini ereader but the comments on the lack

It's a very strange omission by Xteink. They designed the X4 with the accessory orientation of MagSafe intended for sticking onto the back of the iPhone/Qi2, but almost every phone's camera bump prevents it from sticking on. Even upside down it almost never works. Makes me wonder why they couldn't m

Beautiful X3, I have an X4! Also I think it's funny seeing people try to open the boxes with one hand as they record themselves opening their XTEINKS haha. I was one of them and accidentally dropped mine as I opened it!

Build a QUALITY niche device for a small price that everyone RIGHTLY adores. Respond to small-c criticism ("touch screen please", "built in light") by using the incoming income to support design/production of devices with those features Reduce emphasis on the initial devices, reduce prices to clear
