@concretedog this Lilygo T5S3 Pro looks like the best alternative to Xteink, but for some reason, only a couple of projects for it in the wild:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I found a very nice option for a light to use with the #Xteink X4. Yes, it is a generic Amazon model, but works very well.

40 hours of reading on low

USB-C

Cool, Warm and Mixed light with five brightness settings from seven LED

The best part of it is that it sticks! It is rather light weight and the frame inside wide enough to make a sturdy connecting point with the magnet inside the case. Then can bend back flat for easy storage

Kids Book Reading Light (https://a.co/d/0faveg9O) - here is a non affiliate link. There are others on there, but my experience is just with the black above. I feel the other designs would work just as well.

I updated #crosspoint on my #XTEINKX4 and they got rid of the Bookerly font 

At least #Firefox supports web assembly now tho

Intrigué par un pouet de @ploum j’ai craqué pour une liseuse Xteink X4. Après quelques semaines d’utilisation avec le firmware libre CrossPoint Reader, je vous partage mon retour d’expérience (spoiler : ça m'a rappelé une collection de livre papier !).

Just found out that CrossPoint 1.3.0 was released last week!

#Xteink X4 ebook reader. Tiny thing. Finally got around to loading epubs. CFW #CrossPoint was dead easy to install and blows the stock OS out of the water. Small enough to stick to the back of a phone with MagSafe. Declaration of war on doomscrolling.

Gibt es eine Empfehlung für eine font für den #XTEINK #X4? Die Standard font schaut leider nicht sehr gut aus

Is there a recommendation for a font for the #XTEINK #X4? Unfortunately, the standard font does not look very good
