After less than 3 months, the device decided to self-destruct
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.

Xteink or Kindle (in terms of durability)
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

Questions about Xteink?
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

What model fits my needs?
"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

X4 - how to attach behind phone?
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

Some clarification on what’s been discussed about firmware lately
Whole bunch of people who ordered x3 got x4 and other segment got broken devices. Xteink is infamous to not process refunds or even offer appropriate process for appeal. Please just let us order from aliexpress as we can get refund easily

Another DOA.
I hope my X3 arrives alive and well… Xteink seems to have serious QC issues 😵

Love the portability, but struggling with reading in the dark. What are your solutions?
I don't have an Xteink yet, I'm waiting for the android edition because not being able to change font sizes easily is a deal breaker to me. My close-up vision went from better than average to me bitching about why every label is printed SO small in the last two years. It sucks. That said, every time

Screens break extremely fast
I keep both my x3 and x4 in my totebag. I make sure not to throw my bag or swing it around a lot tho. And my xteink gets it's own little pocket, away from heavy/sharp objects and it's working fine. So I guess u just have to rlly baby the xteink. I've heard it doesnt take much to crack/damage.
