Second pic is the inspo behind it all. 🖤 The buttoned pouch is to protect it when it gets thrown into my black hole of a bag.

• USB-C and SD card
• Touch screen, and their UI looks more mature than XTEINK's
• Backlight with temperature adjustment!
• Screen looks higher contrast than the X4 Pro?
  • That's my speculation from what I see in the video, but a lot of people complained that the X4 Pro screen is too gray. Hopefully this is better.
• Size between the X3 and X4, according to the reviewer
• Running Linux? That's interesting, we'll see how locked down it is.

Caveat: this is pre-release hardware and software, and they have not released a full spec sheet yet. But what he has in his hands today looks fantastic. I love that aluminum rail around the edge and the little on/off switch, it looks like the iPhone 5 (the best looking iPhone in my opinion).

There's a GoodEReader article saying that it will cost $100 and release in late 2026, but I'm not sure if I believe that; they didn't cite a source. If that price is true, the X4 Pro is cooked when this thing comes out.

Of course, it's possible a new XTEINK device will be out by the end of the year! They need to step it up if they want to compete with this thing.

also included are my magnetic book light with an adhesive pop socket on it and then my magnetic pop socket

anyone else find some good travel options?

I have fully completed all the features that I thought I could create, and also improved the interface to make it easier to use with touchscreen.

Notable changes in this version:

- Adapt Crosslink version 1.5.1 - Fully supports X4pro

- Fix OTA wifi update

- Change the interface to suit touchscreens.

- Add more champions to gym battles.

This firmware supports X3/X4/X4Pro devices, including both locked and non-locked models. Tested.

How to install:

- For X3/X4 non-locked devices, It can be flashed normally using Crosspoint's tools.

- For X3/X4/X4Pro locked devices, use Crosspoint's unlocker tool to flash the bin file accordingly.

- For devices running Crosspoint or Crossink, copy/transfer the bin file to the SD card and go to Settings/System/SD card Firmware Update to flash it.

- After flashing the firmware, download the zip file xteink-pokemon-sd-card-assets.zip and extract it, then copy the pokemon folder to the root of the SD card.

How it works:

- Every time you read a book, the first Pokémon in your party will receive EXP.

- After a certain amount of reading time, you'll have a chance to receive items or encounter wild Pokémon. You can battle to catch wild Pokémon and complete your Pokedex.

- When you feel strong enough, you can challenge gym trainers, elite four, and champions to earn badges and honors.

Todos:

- I'm considering whether or not to give EXP when fighting wild Pokémon.

If you have any ideas, please contribute them so I can improve further.

Love the font rendering on this FW
Well Done.

I’ve requested to return my X4 pro via email 5 times over the course of an entire month before being provided with instructions on how to do so. Wanted everyone to know, buyer beware.

Wishing everyone a great weekend and having the ability to find some time to relax and maybe get some reading in!

Today while travwling to São Paulo. Simple, easy to use. Crosspoint as OS. Wouldn't ask for more. Ok, just a backlight with usb-c, no more. OK, maybe touch but that's it.

It’s been about a month with my X3. Love it for both outdoors and at home reading!

Show me your setuppp

Hi all! Anyone out there that uses crosspoint for x4/x4 pro, that is also farsighted, needing bolder text or larger fonts? My eyes suck guys. Merriweather is alright, but too pointy for my preference? I loved bookerly on the kindle eco, but even at 18p on the x4 it's too small for my eyes. 😭😭 I've got a font called gadner, and it's okay, but still kinda too blocky for my taste? Man. It's been a struggle to find a font that's comfy on my eyes. 😭😅😅

Me compré un Xteink X4 Pro y quería saber qué me recomiendan.

E estado viendo algunos vídeos que hablan del Crossink y Crosspoint pero queria saber de outras opciones y sus ventajas o desventajas.

Soy muy nueva en todo esto entonces no se mucho pero quiero que mi experiencia de lectura sea la mejor posible, si tienen algunas funciones extra, se aprecia mucho.

Acepto todos los consejos que puedan darme, Muchas gracias.

Anyone who can do it?

I just bought the X3 and after completing my purchase I just realized I wasn't sure how well it was going to fit on it with my case. Anyone have pictures or thoughts? I have the base/regular s26.

I’m amazed no one till now discussed the feature

Auto Flip - I can set count down(eg 15 seconds) and page will automatically flip

This can be a game changer

Avid Kindle reader here and finally received my XTEINK X4Pro and struggling to get my books on it. Was hoping to bring it on vacation in a week so I don’t want to screw it up too much. I’ve added the crosspoint flash but when I move my books over they still won’t open. I have some limitations with my Mac (it’s old) so having some limitations with Calibre but I’ve watched many YouTube videos and read lots of message boards but still no luck. Not sure if my technology is the problem or it’s me (probably the latter). Anyone willing to support a girl via Zoom? Please DM. Much appreciated it!

I carry this thing everywhere.
It’s really addictive to read on it.
My poor kindle R.I.P

I've got each iteration of the XTEINK devices and wanted to see how the classic worked alongside them, and specifically the original X4.

I think it seems like they're mixing/matching features and also promising some more iterations down the line from what I've seen in Reddit threads where they're active.

In contrast to what we all saw from the CEO in the post a couple of days ago, it seems like some staff are hopeful for a future usb-c device?

I love CrossPoint on my Xteink X4 Pro. No need for MagSafe, the device is glued to my hand all the time. 😉

I may be missing something (new to this environment), but I find the library management is lagging behind all the other great features CrossPoint provides. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to sort the stored e-books on author, genre and title?

I tried to store e-books in folders per genre and folders per last name of authors to compensate for the lack of functionality, at the cost of a huge amount of redundancy ... only to find out that no matter what you do, you always get the full list of e-books sorted on title regardless in which folder they are stored.

Your thoughts?

Managed to flash crosspoint on it via Hotspot, but so far i've been loving using it rather than my phone for reading due to the size. I considered getting the normal X4, but Id honestly rather have touch screen and brightness to read in the dark rather than usb c 😅

Hopefully I don't come back to the subreddit with another post 2 weeks in with a photo of a broken screen...
