concretedogMucking about earlier with the #xteinkx4 #ereader with the #opensource crosspoint reader firmware. Added a custom sleep image file for a pretty cool name badge! #tinkering

@ghm yay! I'm just writing blogpost about my experiences. I flashed Crosspoint Reader within seconds of opening the box.. also the supplied SD card was incredibly duff!
MakerBlock@concretedog @ghm Where did you guys buy yours? (Disclosure: I'm facing idiot tariffs 🙄😞😵💫🤦♂️)
@makerblock @ghm I went Aliexpress.
@makerblock @concretedog direct from Xteink.com
@concretedog sketchy moment post flash where I thought it had bricked! But, no, all good.

@ghm yay! Awesome. Its been a great firmware for me and I think we can do OTA update for future releases!
@concretedog current #crosspoint firmware supports OTA via #calibre. I successfully transferred a converted epub.
This has (re)opened a can of worms for me over digital book management. Having owned over the years a kindle and now a kobo. Calibre does a good job making ACSM books I’ve purchased available to me on my computer. It’ll be fun optimising them for the #xteinkx4
Have you used this: https://github.com/chazeon/xtctool for prettifying epubs for the Xteink?
@ghm I havent tried that tool. I did try a PDF to XTC convertor with limited success.
