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

Adding my voice to the team that is team USB-C. I FINALLY got all my devices on a singular charge system and it’s super disappointing to see Xteink move to the much less common Pogo connector. I’d prefer them make the device however thick or big it needs to be rather than have to now keep track of a

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

I got a backup too, and an x3 just to try. They’re budget friendly enough. Especially with the sale. Unfortunately, unless the next wave of products includes something they haven’t unveiled yet, if and when the x4 leaves production I won’t be buying the next gen. In my opinion both new products are

I love my x4 with crosspoint and was planning on getting another x4 in the other color, an x3, and potentially the x4 v2 when it releases. Now, I certainly won't be buying another xteink product until they unlock newly produced devices or provide a way to opt in to doing so, I'm fine with it voiding

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

It is for me. Was planning on buying another X3, but now after learning this is the way XTEink is going, then that's it for me. These are tinkering eReaders, locking them down is BS.

Okay so when you post "best budget ereader" a bunch of people are going to show up and recommend the xteink x4 and x3. Nothing against the xteinks but they are tiny, like 4 inch screens, they're designed to fit on the back of a phone. I think they're a great sometimes reader, especially as a phone s

"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
