Ha tardado dos meses pero ya tengo aquí el Xteink X4, con el firmware custom y todo.

¡Mola mucho!

Thinking of buying an xteink x4. Look neat. Small. Epub only. Buttons. Magsafe. Not android. But no backlight. Done custom firmware are available.

Anyone have one?

List of the Main Flaws for Each of the Top eReader Brands

For this post I'm going to list all the main disadvantages for the top ereader brands, including Kindles, Kobos, Onyx Boox, PocketBooks, and Nooks.

#TechRadar The Kindle Colorsoft is our favourite model by far - and it's just hit a new record-low price at Amazon https://techrad.ar/XTec #eReaders #Tablets
The Kindle Colorsoft is 'the Kindle of your dreams' — and it's just hit a new record-low price at Amazon

This excellent colour e-reader is cheaper than ever before thanks to the Amazon Spring sale.

The xteink x4 has finally arrived. This is the cutest device I’ve ever held in my hand. #xteinkx4 #ereaders
#TechRadar I've been using the Onyx Boox Note Air5 C for a few weeks and it's an excellent color epaper tablet — it just doesn't feel 'new' https://techrad.ar/LRCX #eReaders #Tablets
'It just doesn't feel new': I've been using the Boox Note Air5 C color epaper tablet for weeks — it's good, but there are better options out there

There's very little to complain about when it comes to Boox's newest color 10-inch e-notebook, but the Note Air5 C fails to offer anything different from its predecessors.

#TechRadar The InkPad One is a new Linux-powered rival to the Kindle Scribe https://techrad.ar/k6e4 #eReaders #Tablets
The InkPad One is a new Linux-powered rival to the Kindle Scribe

The new PocketBook InkPad One has a big screen, a stylus, and it runs Linux — but should you buy it over the Kindle Scribe?

Just curious: can anyone who has used both kindle e-readers and the kindle store and kobo e-readers and the kobo/rakuten store compare them for me?

I'm thinking along these lines:

  • selection of books
  • price of books
  • evilness of the company ;)
  • physical properties/features of the e-readers themselves

Any ideas? @joel?
