Hach, ich liebe meinen neuen, kleinen, schnuckeligen #ebook Reader! Ein wahres Handgeschmeide. 😊 Und gleich mal einen alten Klassiker drauf gemacht, den ich damals schon mit reichlich Lach-Tränen in den Augen verschlungen hatte! #HartmutUndIch – Der Reader ist der X3 von #XTEINK (ca. 50 €), geflasht mit #CrossPoint 1.5.0 und natürlich an #Calibre (Web) „angeschlossen“. Fluppt! ✅ Bin vom X3 so begeistert, dass ich jetzt auch den X4 Pro (u.a. mit Licht!) bestellt habe. 📚

ich bestellte ein xteink x4 pro, und bin schon total gespannt.
angeblich kann man mit OpenReader jetzt auch drm-„geschützte“ bücher lesen, hat jemand von euch das schon mit Onleihe getestet?

Okay, I gave in too 😅

It should be obvious, but if you're considering an #XTEINK e-reader, the X4 Pro is the way to go.

Other than the backlight, while they don't discuss the spec, the X4 Pro is an ESP32-S3 while the older devices are ESP32-C3.

The big difference is the PSRAM; the older devices choked on large books. The Pro doesn't.

Ist er nicht süß? 🥰

Ein Miniatur eBook-Reader (X4 Pro) von #xteink auf ESP32-Basis mit eInk-Display. Die Firmware ist quelloffen und funktioniert ohne Drittanbieter-Dienste. Inhalte können per USB oder Speicherkarte übertragen werden. Das Gerät hat ein magnetisches Gehäuse und kann an ein Smartphone geheftet werden.

I love my #XTEINK 4 (with a Pro 4 getting here soon) and this is a great resource for anything and everything you can do with these devices.

Though funny enough this is the firmware I choose to roll with:

Bought a #Xteink X3. I already have a Kobo… but I want this because it’s tiny and I’m planning on putting my fictional books on it.

I think it’ll help me read more instead of scrolling. #Books #Reading

Na moim nowym malutkim czytniki #Xteink X4 przeczytałem już trzy książki 💪
- Wojna nuklearna Annie Jacobsen
- Cyberpunk 2077 bez przypadku Rafał Kosik
- Tajemnica tajemnic Dan Brown
Świetne urządzenie! Umożliwiło mi czytanie prawie w każdych warunkach (o ile jest odpowiednie oświetlenie, bo niestety nie ma podświetlenia ekranu).

I just received my new Xteink X3 to put into my trekking backpack and this thing is so tiny and light that it's embarassing - but works great though!

Downloading a few Messner and Purja's books to read 😀

"[T]he developers of CrossPoint Reader, a free alternative firmware for the X3, X4, and X4 Pro, are introducing support for third-party plug-ins that will expand the e-readers’ capabilities. One of the first from the community will give the devices access to DRM-protected ebooks borrowed through OverDrive’s Libby library app, or purchased through bookstores like Kobo’s."

Mam trochę pecha. Bo gdy w końcu opisałem czytniki Xteink, to model X4 został wycofany ze sprzedaży. 🤷

Za to ruszyła promocja na jego mniejszego brata X3, w której mamy 15% zniżki i etui gratis. To wszystko za ok. 260 zł z przesyłką do Polski.

The news that the Xteink X4 is officially getting discontinued and is now end-of-life makes me really glad that I bought one recently. I suspected that this might happen and partly made the decision to buy now instead of waiting a bit more.

Czytnik bez ekranu dotykowego, bez oświetlenia, ze słabym oprogramowaniem: czy coś takiego może zdobyć popularność w 2026 roku? 😃

Okazuje się, że tak. Malutkie i dość tanie czytniki Xteink mają coraz więcej fanów.

Just got the XTEink 4 Pro. First impressions: backlight and touchscreen are nice and intuitive. Stock firmware is still awful and immediately replaced with CrossPoint. POGO pins are a bad idea. USBC/Pogo adapter keeps falling off.

Yeah, so this is the kind of things I spend my free time doing… No learning to code, there's too many options I don't know where to start, only thinking a lot, and sharing those thoughts, on optimal organizing of stuff and new features, and stuff…

My X4 arrived and it is amazing! I installed CrossInk on it and used „Send to X4“ to put some of the Magic: The Gathering short stories on it that I want to catch up on.

@Tywele Me too. They've sold out of the lights and most colours for the Xteink X4 folio case - but Birthday Present ordered in their third choice of colour. The saving covers the shipping fee. #e_book_reader #eBook #eReader #xteink #xteinkx4
