- One Sleepy BoiSinglehandedly fixed my adversion to reading books. I love this thing!TLDR: Read the pros and cons at the end...
I probably havent seriously read a single book in the past 6 years. Even throughout college, I always wormed my way around reading the textbooks and class material.
For me, there have always been 2 issues with books: One, they are cumbersome to carry around; two, they are overwhelming to think about.
The XTEINK X4 solves both of these problems for me. The device is so small and slim (literally smaller than your hand), that putting it in your pocket adds no baggage at all. I can bring this thing anywhere, and read anywhere. Standing at a crosswalk, waiting for the walk signal? Read a quick paragraph on the X4. Sitting at work eating lunch? Bring out the X4. Hopping on the toilet and dont want to stare at the floor for the next 5-10 minutes? X4.
On top of the portability, the size has a second advantage: it splits the page into digestable chunks. Gone are the days of tracking down which paragraph you left off on 2 hours ago. The device displays only a handful of sentences, so picking up where you left off is a cinch. Reading non-entertainment content (such as self help and textbooks) is more approachable too. I no longer feel overwhelmed by the sheer thickness of the book, or the length of the chapters. I can just take tiny bites, one at a time.
Separate to how this device changes the reading experience, I really appreciate the fact that this device is "hackable". Unlike a device that rhymes with "jamazon bindle", XTEINK allows the community to develop custom software/firmware for the device. If you buy this item, I'd highly recommend looking for "Crosspoint Reader" on github. It really makes the device awesome to use.
With all that said, here are the pros and cons of this device as I have experienced them:
Pros:
- Extremely portable (can even magnetically attach to some larger phones)
- No subscriptions, No ads
- "Hackable"
- Bring your own ePub books
- No touchscreen; physical buttons (gone are the days of accidentally swiping)
- USB-C Port (no neeed for a new cable)
- Expandable storage via micro-sd card. (You are not locked in to paying for an entirely new device if you run out of storage.
- Tiny size makes tackling books feel easy.
- Comes with a microsd card AND a microsd to USB-A adapter
- Comes with a basic screen protector (Its glossy, so I opted to not use it)
- Lanyard/wrist strap hole, if you think you need it. (Does not come with a lanyard).
- Buttons are reprogrammable (to an extent)
Cons:
- Tiny size. If you are an avid reader, you might enjoy being able to read more words at once.
- Limited accessory ecosystem. There are very few options for cases, screen protectors, and folios out there. (Check the official XTEINK website, since they have some items not listed on amazon.)
- Included instructions are unclear. (You might need to look up some tutorials)
- Does not include a USB-C cable. (But you probably already have one.. hopefully).
- It can be unclear what the buttons do. (You'll learn very quickly, but it isnt obvious). - ebook ReaderGreat simple e-reader deviceThis 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. - TNBC12Perfect sneaky ereaderThis is a great little device
Yes, no backlight or tough screen. I actually appreciate the button control.
Yes, the own software blows once you find out the capabilities of Crosspoint. Installing crosspoint was so easy to figure out that I have a whole new appreciate for Reddit subgroups and GitHub users.
The memory card option makes it all pretty easy, and one your figure out your preferred button mapping (because you can remap them) it’s a great little device.
I’m a power reader and tech-nerd with a boox Palma 2 pro, kobo Libra colour, and kindle Scribe. Since my friends and family now scold me for sneaking an e-reader to most boring events, they make sure to check me for e-readers. This lil’ unit fits in my palm and I snap it to the back of my phone and say it’s a battery pack. =) boring crisis averted.
Do you have to be techy to use it? No. There are pretty of YouTube tutorials out there to help you with personalization. What could be tricky is learning about some extra features GitHub creators have created for the device. The integrated KoReader features could be tough, but a YouTube video by a kid, who looked about 12, was able to help me figure out KoReader.
So, it’s a great little gadget that’s affordable. I’m not worried about breaking it because it cost less than my Starbucks monthly budget.
Has a little learning curve, but the size and capability with crosspoint, KoReader, and file transfer features make it work it. - John E. CottrellDon’t Do It….I fell for the content creators hype and instantly regretted it.
The good: it’s small
The bad: no backlight (full daylight reading only), totally counter intuitive or confusing user interface buttons, clunky firmware out of the box, slightly less clunky firmware with reflash to Crosspoint, lengthy “re-indexing” wait after any setting change. Did I mention NO backlight?
I don’t know about you, but much of the time I want to pick up something to read I’m not going to have full daylight. This thing is unreadable unless you’ve got really good lighting.
The buttons are a hot mess. There’s no indication that they are rocker buttons, but after a while you kind of figure it out. But even then they don’t make sense. I found that even after fiddling a bit AND some times having them labeled in Crosspoint I was guessing more often than not at which to press.
If the stock firmware is so bad that it immediately needs to be replaced with something else, that’s a pretty good indicator that overall the product isn’t going to be worth it.
In Crosspoint every time you change a setting the thing just sits there for a while “re-indexing”. I guess when you leave and re-open a book it needs to do that? Annoying.
It’s only positive is, it’s small. That doesn’t make up for all the negatives.
Back to Amazon it goes.
