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

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

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

If you havent seen this yet https://comparisontabl.es/e-readers/ This page is so helpful. So! I have the Clara BW and it's absolutely love it - especially the light settings!

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.

As an avid eReader fan, I love my X4... but i really don't suggest it as someone's first eReader unless they're also into other niche subgroups (like sbc gaming) cause... yeah. 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

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.

Actually getting a font usually comes to google font name + ttf ;)You can read about some nice looking fonts for e-readers as well.
