X3

Exactly this. I'm so smitten with my X3 for the exact reasons you mention here. It's a simple, cheap device that has a very focused mission and it performs that mission incredibly well. Surprisingly well, almost unbelievably well. I'm also wondering about the why of adding these features. I would as

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

Personally, I would not include a purpose-built device such as the xteink as part of a no-devices rule. Especially when reading books is being encouraged and that's literally all the X3 & X4 can do. In fact, I'd probably set some reading goals for my kids and reward them with their own X3 or X4 if t

where are you gonna need a high refresh rate on an xteink? You can't scroll or watch videos on X3/x4

Got a X3 and I feel like I’m reading way more on it than my kobo Libra. I made the font bigger so I’ll need to do more page turns but it just feels like i’m reading so much faster on the little device like I’m gamifying it.

I hope the XTeink team has reached out to you, because your converter is genuinely game changing for their efforts to break into the international market.

After having it for two months and reading five books on it, more than in the previous five years, I rolled on it in bed and broke it. A

Anything is possible 🤷🏼‍♂️ The nearest release is x4 Pro, which is supposed to be slightly smaller than existing x4 but bigger than x3. On the other hand, existing x3 is perfectly usable with the xteink external light. It has a variable intensity and light color and it’s cheap.

It's an X3 by a company 'Xteink'.They also have a slightly larger model named X4.They are very simple ereaders - no touchscreen, no color, no backlighting - but I love and I'm on my third book now. Just because it's small doesn't of course mean the text is small - you can adjust that to be any size.

Mostly it won't. They are competing against xteink, and they realized the reason people are buying xteink is that it's a simple dumb mini ereader with no touch screen. Perfect for doom reading which someone can use anytime anywhere. The only thing missing from an xteink is the backlight and they'll
