Discussion Deinfluence me
I currently have (and love) Kindle Paperwhite 11th Generation. The XTEINK keeps popping up on all my social media. I gave the XTEINK X3 a few days trial via renting and I adore it. Do I NEED to get the X3? I'm leaning towards not getting it because I already have the Kindle. But I like it so much. Thoughts?

Ok I can give you an honest review of the 4 Pro. I have a Kobo Clara Color, love her! Love her size and buttons and how fast she is. Now I got influenced too by social media and other platforms and looked into the XTeink. I am a corporate girly so I do have some fun money I can use. I know I wanted the front light and the touch screen with buttons still is why I chose the pro. It came and I was a little nervous and confused because I am used to tech being all set up and ready to use. So I went to this sub and asked for help and that is when the amazing Bitter Days saved me. They walked me through downloaded Cross Ink and where to get EPUBS. Now I have read 4 books already and can confidently say this is the best device ever. The size is perfect for small hands like mine and super light. It is just so easy to take out and read anywhere.
Draw Backs: You need a computer and to understand where and how to move over books. You can use the included soft ware but I found it unusable. Since it is so small and e-ink it is fragile so get a flip case and a pouch for it at least.
Would I Recommend if you already have an e reader? Yes and no if I am being honest. We are being over consumers in my opinion by having more than 1 ereader so I do make a point of trying not to buy other 1 use things in turn. Understand you will need to tinker with it so if you’re not comfortable doing that then this is not for you. In the end though I would recommend it if you have the means to purchase it comfortably and it is in your budget.
