Title: Surprisingly great little pocket reader
Review: I bought this mostly as a curiosity, but I’ve ended up liking it more than expected. The size is the big win: it fits neatly on the back of my phone, so it’s easy to keep with me without carrying a full-size e-reader around. For quick reading breaks, travel, or just having a book available without pulling out another big device, it’s genuinely convenient.The screen is also very crisp. Text looks sharp and easy to read, and the e-paper display gives it that nice low-distraction feel compared with reading on a phone screen. The physical page-turn buttons work well and are easy enough to get used to.My only real wish is that it had a touchscreen. That would make navigation feel a little more natural, especially when browsing books and system menus. That said, the controls are simple enough that it’s not a dealbreaker.Overall, this is a neat little e-reader if you want something extremely portable, distraction-free, and easy to keep with you. It’s not trying to replace a larger Kindle-style reader, but for what it is, it works really well.

Title: Amazing little device
Review: I wanted something small, much more portable, and can read books without distractions and this delivers exactly those criteria.What the listing comes with:- Xteink x4 device- Two magsafe ring stickers to place on items that doesn’t have magsafe (one white and one black)- A matte screen protect that you must apply yourself- A microSD- A microSD USBThere are CONS compared to other eReaders on the market such as:- No backlight- No touch screen- No highlighting- No apps, must upload the book yourselfPersonally, even though there are quite a few CONs they do not bother me at all. The backlight isn’t a big issue, as you can pair it with a magsafe phone light or read with a lamp on. I personally do not read often at night, so this issue isn’t such a big deal for me. No touchscreen is more of a pro for me than a con. I like that I can wipe the screen or hold the device without worrying I might touch the screen on accident and the pages flip. I always had that issue of accidental page flipping before on other types of eReaders so I appreciate the button only navigation. I am sad about not having the ability to highlight my books, but I can live without that function.Now let’s actually talk about the pros. I love the size. There is another model (xteink x3 which is smaller) and I think the x4 is the perfect size to fit in the palm of your hand. It’s also practically weightless. I always have issues with other eReaders where my hands get fatigue holding the device even with added accessories like a magsafe holder, a band, and a grip but it just adds more weight to the device, so it becomes less and less comfortable to use. The buttons are a bit customizable and are super responsive. I disliked that other eReaders sometimes does not register my finger when I tap the next screen. This is my first time having an eReader with buttons and it has been a dream to use. All the buttons are placed in areas where it feels natural when you hold the device so turning pages or holding the device isn’t awkward nor tiresome. The customization is minimal but very nice, especially if you plan to use a custom firmware (which I HIGHLY recommend).Big tips from experience when you purchase this device:- Have a PC/laptop it makes uploading items to the device so much easier- Download community firmware! (Crosspoint, crosspet, or Inx) I personally like crosspoint- I haven’t tried other firmware but if you do get crosspoint I found that the formatting can be weird sometimes if you upload an .epub file straight from the source. Sometimes I lose the select chapter function and other things. To prevent this, in my experience, download a program called Calibre and download .pdf files of your books. Convert them in Calibre to .epub files then upload those to the device. For some reason it saves the formatting of the .pdf better with individual chapters and pages so it’s easier to select them. I’m not sure if it’s just user error (probably is on my part) but I find uploading books this way makes the formatting better, readable, can select chapters/pages, and the font is more legible.Honestly, I plan to buy another device just to have as a back-up. 10/10 would recommend. If you are not negotiable on any of the CONs definitely do not buy. It is set as a very minimal device and that is exactly what it delivers.Images below are with crosspoint firmware installed.

Title: Beware: you may not get what you pay for
Review: This _was_ an incredibly cool little device. I own two of them. As plenty of other people reviewing it have noted, the main draw is that there’s a very very good third-party firmware, Crosspoint, that allows for added features and just an all around better user experience.As of the latest models, XTEINK has started to lock down the firmware to prevent users from installing Crosspoint. So, if you’re reading these reviews, beware: the thing that a lot of people bought this for is going away soon. I hope XTEINK rethinks this decision, but until then: if you buy this, you’ll be stuck with a different (and worse) product than what the reviews here are talking about. Shame on XTEINK for the bait-and-switch.

Title: Great simple e-reader device
Review: This is a fantastic minimalist e-reader device.After a bit of research, and installing the Crosspoint OS, I found myself actually reading longer then I normally do. I really do not like reading on my mobile phone.I do have several e-reader devices from other brands, but I really like the compact size of this one, and no ads or cluttered home screen with a store front promoting titles you are not interested in.The screen is sharp and clear in the light.I did 3d print up a couple of cases for it, plus an adapter that I can use with a book light for reading when in low light or in the dark.For myself, this is perfect. It’s compact size makes it easy to slip into a pocket.And it does have a magnetic back for attaching to the back of your mobile phone device.After reading on it for about four hours, the power was only down to 95% so the battery life is really good. It does weigh a bit more then you would expect for it’s size, but it is a metal case, not plastic. It functions exactly you expect. Simple reading.
