Initial thoughts on the tiny XTEINK X4 ereader

What fits nicely in my hand and gives me hours of pleasure? A tiny ereader!

Here it is.

@neil Ooooooooo.

Sad about no backlight, as I mostly read in bed in the dark to help me fall asleep - as such, the phone is sadly ideal for that (I set it to be dark background, warm toned text on top). Would love a non-phone alternative.

@sarajw Yes - I am using a secondhand Tolino Shine (which has a backlight) for that!
@neil Oh nice! Hadn't seen those before.
