16. A chamada de Cthulhu e outros contos de terror cósmico (H.P. Lovecraft). Primeira experiencia lendo nun #xteink e que mellor xeito de estrealo ca con contos do soñador de Providence. Levar sempre este pequeno lector no peto axuda a non coller o móbil neses intres mortos e que cando te decatas transfórmanse nunha vendo vídeos chorras en YouTube. Tecnicamente non é o mellor trebello do mundo pero a combinación de prezo, practicidade e utilidade real é imbatíbel. Dos contos pouco que dicir que xa non saibades. Unha boa edición en epub de Urco dispoñíbel de balde na súa web.

The Xteink X4

I got an Xteink X4 this week, and my first reaction was somewhere between amusement and nostalgia–it is absurdly small, feels a lot better made than I expected for the price, and t(...)

Did I mention the X4 lately? ^^
I recently concluded that Crosspoint could benefit from a few more customizations and more font size options offered in Papyrix. It turns out that Inx might be the firmware to fill the gap. It also displays your current reading time, along with the number of pages and chapters—quite a nice feature!

Still in pre-release, so very promising. I just didn't see an option to prevent the display fading effect when the X4 is exposed to U.V. It could be activated by default or not implemented.

Just came across a less-known X4 firmware: cpr-vcodex
It'll definitely attract people who are into the stats hype as it includes detailed reading analytics (and other improvements to Crosspoint).

OK, I got a new toy and get obsessed with it... again. Nonetheless, I'm digging quite a lot to keep the focus on the less obvious hack you can do on your X4.
Today, we’ll explore how practical it is for reading manga or comics before you start throwing stones!

Reading more than books on the X4

I recently discovered the Xteink X4 , a tiny e-reader that completely caught me off guard. Its capabilities far exceeded my expectations, and within the first hour of using it, most of my initial concerns disappeared. That said, I’m a tinkerer at heart, so I couldn’t resist diving into everything the community has built for this little device. Though some may question this usage, the question that often comes up is whether it’s even practical to read manga/comic on such a small screen with limited navigation controls. At first glance, it seems unlikely. But that was before srokl began refining the cbz2xtc tool.

Xteink X3 is an even smaller eReader (3.7 inch E Ink device for $79)

The Xteink X4 is an unusual eBook reader that generated a lot of buzz last year thanks to its compact design and cheap price tag. For $69 you can pick up an eReader with a 4.3 inch, greyscale E Ink display and magnets that let you stick it to the back of a phone. English language users found the default software to be confusing, but an open source firmware replacement called CrossPoint Reader […]

Xteink X4 short-term review and bonus

After using the Xteink X4 for few days now, I can honestly share what it feels like to read on this compact device.

Barebones e-reader: Xteink X4

Minimalism is knocking on my door once more. Due to recent “geopolitical” circumstances, my relatives can no longer send me physical books. So, the obvious solution to keep reading was to turn to e-books. However, two issues arise: e-readers are overpriced, and reading on a screen didn’t work for me the last time I tried it about 15 years ago. But you’re sharp enough to have guessed, from the title of this blog, that the Xteink X4 device has changed all of that for me.

Odkąd mam Xteink X4 staram się go używać na co dzień, by jak najlepiej go poznać. Jak na razie sprawdza się dobrze i szczerze, nawet gdy siedzę w domu, nie chce mi się sięgać po dwa i pół raza większego PocketBooka.

Zauważyłem jedną rzecz:
W ostatnim czasie coraz częściej miałem problemy ze zmęczeniem wzroku i rozmywaniem się liter. Zacząłem używać X4 i problem zniknął. Jakim cudem?

X4 nie ma podświetlenia ekranu. Wymusza używanie zewnętrznego źródła światła. Zazwyczaj po prostu zapalam główne światło w pokoju. Okazuje się, że ma to zbawienny wpływ na mięśnie oczu. Gdy ma się przed oczami jasny ekran, a wokół niego ciemność, oczy muszą ciągle pracować i zmieniać ostrość gdy łapią przechodzenie z oświetlonego ekranu na czerń pokoju. Brak podświetlenia ekranu i wymuszenie użycia zewnętrznego światła eliminuje ten problem. #Xteink #X4
