Just got the XTEINK X4

You can read it quite comfortably. The built-in font actually supports multiple size options, so you can increase the text size without doing anything extra. In my case, I generated my own custom font because I prefer the same font I use on my Kindle Paperwhite. With my custom parameters — 34 pt, 45

Nice small damn e-reader to read your faves when waiting in line.

Xteink X4. It's taking the e-reader community by storm, albeit a small storm, maybe just a gust. The original firmware is okay, but the community firmware is a lot better, it's called Crosspoint.

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. They would do well to recognize it and support development of this tool. (If they’re reading this: you should send this person an X3 to help them

Which eReader

The FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH and Piracy subs have megathreads where you can find websites to get ebooks from. I suggest you check those out. From what I've seen, colored e-readers aren't recommended since they have a poorer tech quality. Complaints of text being less sharp and more blurry compared to non c

New to eReaders, considering Xteink X4 – have a few questions

Welcome to the world of eReaders! It’s a bit of a rabbit hole, but a great one. To give you some context, I’ve been building a community hub for Xteink users (inspired by the 'slow tech' and community vibes of places like readme.club), so here’s the breakdown based on what we’ve gathered so far: 1.

The X4 does not really come woth books (mine had i think 2 preloaded epubs both of which have issues because of the X4's OS

Questions before I buy

Can you read books on the X4 via Onleihe (the German system for library books)? If you mean your local library's ebook lending system (German or otherwise), the answer's almost certainly NO.

Font maker: rewritten

Actually getting a font usually comes to google font name + ttf ;)You can read about some nice looking fonts for e-readers as well. Just keep in mind our small x4 doesn't support grayscales in font, so I found out best looking ones are simple, without much serif in it. Right now I'm rocking Karu one
