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 😍

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.

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

What is the absolute best budget e-reader by tier? Looking for the "cheapest you'd actually recommend"

Not sure why people rave about the Xteink X4. It's an interesting enthusiast's device, but it doesn't even have a frontlight. I wouldn't recommend it as Baby's First E-Reader. Clara BW is a really great choice for the price. You can get a GlowLight 4 used for a really great price, but you have to tw

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

Why doesn't any company make a real barebones e-reader?

I would second recommendations for most Pocketbook devices or the Xteink X4. I totally get that the X4 is really small though, but it fits everything else. You may be interested in some DIY kits too. There's a whole other level of difficulty to it but, not only is it rewarding, you would get to know

Money well spend 100%

I completely agree with you! The Xteink X4 is actually my first e-reader, since I was a bit worried about possibly damaging the more expensive ones that I borrowed. If you don’t mind me asking, how did you format your manga panels to make them readable on the device?

Easiest/cheapest?

Seconding the posts suggesting looking at second-hand readers - e-readers have fragile screens but otherwise it’s tech that holds up well, so a second-hand Kindle or Kobo or PocketBook that is in a decent shape (the screen is intact) will be fine for this purpose. Even very old ones (15 years old) s
