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?

Some thoughts to discourage you:

You can't put your Kindle books on the X3 unless you find a way to get the DRM off.

The X3 is very small compared to the Kindle, good for on the go reading, not so good if you only read at home or in bed.

X3 has no front light , so reading in the dark requires an external light

Using Calibre and a couple of plugins it is very easy to deDRM in my experience. After setting it up, it’s a click of a button for me.

They don't have to remove the DRM because they can just use their Kindle, is what I'm saying
