More about my x3 front light case!!

Whatever you do never release the files for free or for sale. You'll never see the end of people trying to profit off your hard work. The licensing on that retro model could bite you if you built it off that work. Inspired is a different story. You made something really cool and it solves the main c

Questions about Xteink?

Thanks for opening this thread. I realise that Xteink plans to bring the s4 to the market, but quite a number (myself included) just want the current device with a front light. My preference is for the x3 with a front light. Would the organisation consider this?

If XTeink decides to make a bigger device, I think this is the ideal size

There are so many great 6-7" e-ink readers already. Not saying xteink couldnt make their version of such a device a great one but to me the size of x4 and x3 is what really differentiates them from the competition. I have the Boox Go 7" and the x4 and to me that's the perfect combo - Boox at home an

Xteink X4 gen 2 and X4 Pro leak from Aliexpress.

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

I think I made a mistake.

Same, my on the go is the XTEINK X3, it’s so adorably tiny, but it’ll fit in any pocket.

xteink announces collaboration with third party firmware "Crosslink" on Rednote

As a Chinese-speaking user, I feel compelled to clarify one point: the only real connection between Crosslink and Crossink is that they both originated as branches of Crosspoint. Crosslink was developed based on crosspoint_chinesetype (https://github.com/icannotttt/crosspoint-chinesetype) and the co

Thinking of purchasing the Xteink x3

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.

Idea for case to look like a real book

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

couldn't decide on one so why not both?

You decorated your ereaders so cutesy! In my opinion, it is really nice to have different ones with different benefits, which is exactly what you’re doing here! The Xteink x3 is very cute as well. If it helps, I tried a similar one to the X4, but I realized that I am really a library lady at heart a

Useless battery?

I read 20-30 mins/day and I think the last time I charged my X3 was two weeks ago and it's still at 90% battery. Try sending u/Fun_Satisfaction2315 from Xteink a DM here on Reddit - he's normally good at getting things happening.
