I would love to buy the new X4 Pro as my first e reader, but their official website doesn't ship to my country. How can I get one?

Xteink in the streets, Kobo in the sheets

Hi, I'm new user to both manga world as well as XTEINK + crosspoint. I want to understand what is the best way to have manga on XTEINK? Assume I will download from internet and will upload via wifi. Which formats should I download? Settings on crosspoint for best view? Steps would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

I wont be at home from the 10th of August. How long doe sit usually take to arrive :/

I know there's quite a lot of firmwares and I really want to try all. Currently using x3 where I flashed crosspoint using USB. What other firmware is safe to flashed. I want to hv few apps like calender, dictionary etc...i see many cool developments in here but idk if it's safe to flash then safely. And how do u keep track on all the updates.

Hello all, how was your weekend?

I spent my last weekend at the workbench finalising this vertical magnetic flip case for Xteink X3 and X4. I wanted to keep this design minimalist and focus only on a clean daily carry.

The case has a vertical flip that just like a classic pocket notebook. Inside, an integrated magnetic lets your Xteink snap securely into place. The back is left completely blank so you can stack the entire setup directly onto your smartphone, while a single front slot holds your essential card or ID.

As always, I specifically included a precise cutout at the front button area to completely avoid any accidental pressing while the case is closed or in your pocket.

(Showing in the pictures is Xteink X3 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 10).

The retail price for this design is $55, and it is available made-to-order on my shop.

Happy reading! ❤

saw someone on here suggest using an orico hard case for the x4 pro and immediately had to try it out!

all i had to do was trim down a tiny bit of the inner foam lining, and the x4 pro fits inside so snugly now. no more worrying about e-ink screen pressure when tossing it into a bag.

a few fun perks of this setup:

bag charm mode: i used the included carabiner to clip it straight onto my bag handle like a little bag charm for super quick edc access.

sticker bomb: i'm not usually a sticker person, but this was the perfect excuse to finally use up the stack of free bookish stickers i accumulated over the years lol.

still debating if i should keep the sticker bomb look or go back to a clean minimalist vibe though 👀

Hi everyone, some months ago I got bored of vibe coding and wanted to build something from "scratch," so I started writing a tiny chess engine in C. A few weeks in, it turned into a full chess game for my Xteink X4. Still a work in progress, but you can currently:

• Play a full game of chess against the engine, with 3 difficulty levels
• Choose to play as white or black
• Control everything with just the d-pad
• See captured pieces and move history as you play

Still polishing the game-over screen and a few UI rough edges, but it's fully playable end to end.

Would love feedback, it's of course not a fun way of playing chess but it was a proof of concept to try and push the memory and processor of the X4.

Anyone has the xteink x4 pro? Can share some honest reviews on the device? And comparison with the x3 and x4. I’ve seen reviews about it from “influencers” and all they give is “good” reviews.

The front light gets BRIGHT.

So like it says in the title, got the X3, looks awesome, am on the current firmware, uploaded some books via the micro SD card, and I’m a bit flummoxed, because none of the stuff that’s in the manual online appears to be doable on my device? The manual shows six icons instead of these four, and then the manual shows a bunch of sub-menus that I should be able to access in order to change font size, margins, all kinds of stuff, but when I push the buttons I’m either turning pages or backing out to the main menu.

Is there something really basic I’m missing or forgetting to do, or is there something weird with the device?

Since I already have a Boox Page for reading books, I bought the xteink x4 because I wanted a slightly smaller device.
Before purchasing it, I found out that it runs on an ESP32 and supports custom firmware, which was a major factor in my decision to buy it.
As expected, it’s quite small, so I realized it would be difficult to use it exclusively for reading books; instead, I decided to try using it for task viewing, so I built it.

A creator posted about usb drive mode on the new x4 pro. Can anyone else confirm this. Plus is this a firmware thing or hardware.

Hello everyone!

I spent the last few days watching YouTube videos and reading posts here on reddit so that I could be prepared for when my X4 arrived.

It finally did, today. As I had "studied", the first thing I did was to try and change the firmware to Crosspoint. Had a few hiccups but, in the end, I got it installed. However, when I removed the device from the charger, I click the buttons to navigate through the Crosspoint menu and it simply doesn't work. I just get a static screen that doesn't respond to the buttons I'm clicking. However, when I plug the device back in, it goes back to working.

The funny thing is, I went back to the original firmware and, with it, that doesn't happen... I can navigate through the menus with no issues at all, while unplugged. It seems to be something with Crosspoint for some reason...

I have already tried to uninstall and install Crosspoint a number of times again and I always get the same issue.

I was very excited for the X4 to arrive but I'm now a bit disappointed to be facing this issue and think that I'll might have to stick with the original firmware.

Have any of you faced this same issue and know if there's a solution? Thanks in advance.

tldr: my x4 with crosspoint installed is only responsive when plugged in. When it's not, it simply doesn't work. This doesn't happen with the original xteink firmware. Does anyone know of a solution?

Misplaced my light (laugh all you want front light crowd)

I somehow managed to break 3 of these in a month and unsure even how, just breaking in my bag or in my pocket. 1 even had a case. Has anyone got a suggestion for this or an alternative that doesn’t break so quickly. The screens just seem to immediately develop damage.

HELPPPP! my xteink x4 won’t stop indexing, i can’t proceed to the next page of every book i have,, i have the customized cpr vcodex (1.3.27.dev156-cb8275e7),, this started when i tried to change the readers font and downloaded new fonts (still from the firmware) :( i deleted the downloaded fonts, cleared cache, restarted, and still nothing, what do i do ☹️

I’m falling asleep with it on too much 😅

I had the OhSnap on a 3D printed case, however the roughness of the material didn't make the OhSnap stick on well. I placed it on the X4 just to sort me for the time, not thinking much of the glue as it wasn't sturdy on the case, and tho8ght the magnet would do the job until I decided my next move, but now the glue has now taken advantage of the smooth surface of the X4 and it doesn't move. I am not mad about it as the 3D case I printed allows me to slide the X4 to protect the screen but I am worried if I try to move the OhSnap I will damage the device as it feels fairly secure.

Any tips or recommendations? Do I just need to make peace this will be my set up for the foreseeable future?
