my two favorite digital minimalist devices
even better than a kindle, its an xteink x4. it’s pretty limited compared to a kindle but it’s perfect for simply reading and also the perfect size 😍

To those of you who have 2 e-readers, why do you keep both and what do you use each one for?
I have a Kindle Scribe and an Xteink x4, I use the Scribe at home and travel with the x4 as it’s more portable. I don’t know what I would do with 2 readers of the same size/model though.

digital minimalism edc 2025
ereader - samsung galaxy note 4, great phone, even better at reading books. get a proper ereader. There are plenty decent non-kindle variants around. If you want a small, super simple one, checkout the xteink X4. It's also very affordable. Your eyes will thank you.

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

Best pocket-sized e-ink eReader? No note-taking required
Real pocketsize comes with the xteink x4. It has a own subreddit. Fantastic device. Not for beginners and the use of calibre is necessary, but totaly worth it!

would this be possible?
What I'd recommend in your situation is get a XTEINK X4 and try to build a flip case around it. It's a very cool tiny 50-60€ e-reader. Decorate it with an enclosure where the clamshell part would protect the device's screen, like on of those old flip out phone cases, just cooler. I feel like this is

Please give us X4 with frontlight
The OBook5 is the same form factor as the X4 (although its about two X4s thick) with a front light https://comparisontabl.es/e-readers/?product1=Obook+5&product2=Xteink+X4#sbs Owning both, I still prefer my XTEINK devices because they are noticeably lighter (although the Obook is nowhere near what I

Are really phone sized ereaders worth it? Can people use it daily and finish books in a regular basis?
i have read so many books on my smaller ereaders (former palma owner, own both the Xteink X4 and X3, as well as an Obook5). so long as you're okay with reading on the smaller screen, it's great to have something that's always in your pocket / bag / purse / on you in some way. Especially with the X4

Trying to replace mindless scrolling with simple 1–2 hour micro hobbies. Need ideas
Yes. For it get little e-reader xteink x4 or x3. Fits on the back of your phone. For me reduced mindless scrolling a lot, since I have it always on me. See r/xteinkereader

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
