Since it seems like all the directions for flashing #CrossPoint to your #XTEink include using Chrome to make flashing successful (other browsers don't seem to find the device), be aware that PC and Mac users of Chrome now have to deal with this:

Xteink X3, a 3.7inch mini e-ink reader with magsafe
Xteink X3는 3.7인치 크기의 미니 전자잉크(e-ink) 리더기로, 아이폰에 마그세이프(MagSafe) 방식으로 부착할 수 있다. 이 기기는 소셜 미디어 사용을 줄이고 독서 습관을 늘리는 데 도움을 줄 수 있으며, Wi-Fi를 통한 파일 전송과 오픈 소스 펌웨어 CrossPoint 지원이 특징이다. 다만 USB-C 포트가 없고, 도서관 전자책과의 호환성 문제 등 몇 가지 제약이 있다. 전자잉크 디스플레이를 활용한 새로운 형태의 휴대용 독서 기기로서 주목받고 있다.

Ça y est, j'ai reçu ma Xteink X4 ! Sitôt reçu, sitôt Crosspoint installé ! J'ai mis un peu de temps à comprendre qu'il fallait cliquer sur le nom cryptique de la liseuse pour ensuite installer le firmware open source ! Mais ça s'est fait très rapidement. J'y ai mis la série de livres qu'on m'a conseillé dernièrement "Le clan des Otori". Et c'est vraiment très très cool cette petite liseuse !
Le côté non tactile n'est pas du tout dérangeant, vu qu'on a des boutons physiques pour changer les pages.
Je reviendrai en causer après plusieurs jours d'utilisation, mais déjà, j'aime !

I got an XTEINK X4 because I always wanted a very pocketable eReader and I'm quite pleased with it.

Replaced the stock firmware with #crosspoint and tweaked the font and paragraph rendering a bit. The device has too little RAM to run a TrueType renderer, so it has to use a prerendered Bitmap font at whole pixel positions. It turns out that if you render the exact same font at an offset of .5px, you can get subpixel precision when placing glyphs. And use that to get smooth pagaraph flow.

Ich habe jetzt den Rewe SB-Schranken Universalschlüssel als Lockscreen von meinen E-Reader eingestellt xD

Xteink X4

The Xteink X4 is a small open e-ink reader that has become more interesting because of the growing CrossPoint ecosystem around it. The hardware itself is attractive mostly as a hac(...)
