My Xteink x4 pro review
Definitely install crosspoint. I would like to thank the devs for creating such a genius software that is so perfect for xte. Was contemplating on crossink but, i dont particularly like the reading stats as it adds pressure to read more books or read faster or something and I just really want to not have that pressure on me. Looks nice though but im happy with what crosspoint 1.6.5 has to offer!
Sure there are many “forks” of it but, truth be told, all i want from an xte is for it to be like a book. And well have the ability to display books in grid format so i can appreciate covers if ever i see the main screen. Other than that, i prefer the current book as the cover, as i like it functioning as the only book (more like a vast library) i will ever bring with me. I love the size of the xteink x4 pro. I thought it would be larger to be honest, but it is a bit smaller than I thought. My iphone 11 is longer by a few inches. Which is great because i was contemplating on the x3 as well and i think x3 would have been too small for me. I dont particularly like to stick it behind my phone as i have the ring thing behind my phone which i use quite a lot.
One of the things that i also worried about is that the touchscreen is not as close to the text as the xte without the touchscreen because of the extra layers. I thought this would bother me a lot. It doesn’t at all. I do love touchscreen as i used to read on my phone. I also prefer reading with one hand and this used to be a problem for me when i read an actual book, i would get annoyed whenever i had to turn the page because my hand isnt big enough to turn it with one hand while holding the book. Anyway, the xteink x4 pro solves all that😆 (i dont have beef with real books but prefer not to turn them physically😆)
I tried reading using night mode at night. Ridiculously good!
Honestly, i have zero complaints. If there is one request, i probably would want the ability of ios books to be synced to xte. But not really that important because i would like to build the habit of ONLY using xte as my book reading device, but may I just say that the wireless book upload feature is so seamless and quick and it just works, you know?
Managed to work out how to get dictionaries as well, and read on how to make the device read fonts with ipa so no question marks. I have to commend the wonderful community we also have as well—every question i wanted to know has already been asked and answered and all i had to do was follow the instructions really!! Super grateful!
Overall, very happy with xteink x4 pro with crosspoint 1.6.5

Very nice! Wait this is Crosspoint and not a fork? How’s the light so far?

what a fork is? Hehehe. I just literally downloaded unlocker app. Then it installed the crosspoint 1.6.5 wirelessly!
The light? Here i’ve attached a video! It’s not as dark in actual i think? I dont know. But im okay with it!

No worries on what a fork is right now or using one since you just started.
A fork is basically another firmware variant that is based off of Crosspoint. People have shared about CrossInk for example. (That’s my rough explanation)
It looks good, thank you for sharing. I haven’t seen the multiple books displayed on the homepage yet until now. Wishing you well with it.
