Just received my #xteinkx4 #ereader and immediately flashed it with #opensource CrossPoint firmware... absolutely in love with the smol beauty!
@concretedog does it (the firmware) support PDF?
@Wintermute_BBS no its a specific epub reader firmware.
@concretedog oh damn, I just came across that one this morning, now you posted about it, aaaah 😅
@concretedog aaaaand mine got shipped today... Now eagerly awaiting its arrival 😬

@concretedog
Oooh, nice!

I still wonder about e-books as I am wanting larger print for my old eyes.

@concretedog Nope. Not buyyyyyyiiiiinnnnnggggg ooonnnneeeee.
@kianryan @concretedog dew it... You can't resist much more, you need it, you know it to be true...
@concretedog This sent me down quite a rabbit hole last night. Finger was hovering over the the Buy Now button for a while. Looking forward to hearing about your experiences before I pull the trigger though.
@semachthemonkey I shall blog sooon... there's some really cool stuff popping up around this device!
@concretedog If #Source was published in an XTC format then that would definitely be a win for me!
@semachthemonkey I should give this a try... https://xtcjs.app/
XTC.js - Free XTC Converter for XTEink X4

@semachthemonkey this is deffo not a nice reading experience!
@concretedog @semachthemonkey a bit too small for comfortable reading, isn't it?
@bonkers @semachthemonkey it is totally fine for epubs. Really nice.. esp in landscape. But yep for XTC of SOURCE its not good. Possibly xtc comics might work
@concretedog You need to overlook the negative aspects and just appreciate how big your hands look! 🤣
@semachthemonkey lol I need a big sharpie for scale maybe... :)
