- I recently got one of the Xteink X4 devices mainly as something to play with. Crosspoint is a big improvement over the vanilla firmware. This looks like a great evolution and I'll definitely give it a look.
On the device itself, for the price it feels like a very well built device and the screen is not bad at all. Took a few weeks to arrive in the UK from China. Can highly recommend if you want something small/compact for reading on the go that isn't your phone.
- Nice. I have an X4 that I can try this on, currently waiting on an X3 to arrive so it actually clips to my phone. Great bit of hardware, and this project looks very fun.

- That's neat!
I've been looking at getting an e-reader in the last few days, and the Xteink X4 is one of the ones I considered. I think it's probably too small for my intended use, but it's cool that people are tinkering with it like this.
- Cool.
Though one of the reasons for me to have a device like that is that it doesn't have distractions like games and messages.
But for those that want that, I guess this is a cheap version?
