My #XteinkX4 finally arrived! And I already flashed it with Crosspoint Reader and connected it to both my OPDS library (Calibre Web Automated running in Docker on my NAS) as well as my KOsync Server (KO Insight, also hosted on my NAS).
The case I printed last week also works great! So now I can always have an e-reader with me and have one less reason to grab my phone and end up doom scrolling! 👍
PS: I blame @concretedog for this acquisition but am actually thankful for the nerd snipe ^^
So, two issues for now...
The KOsync seems to only one work in one direction for me, need to figure out what's going wrong there. Fetching my progress from the server to the X4 works great, but syncing it up and then moving to my Boox doesn't show me the right point.
The other problem is really bad WiFi. With my phone acting as a Hotspot everything is great, but I have to sit next to my normal AP to allow the X4 to connect without timing out. Weird, can't say other ESPs here have issues.
@foosel Did you find a way to get KOReader and CrossPoint to talk to CWA’s sync server? I haven’t found a way since the move to BASIC Auth and the push for CWASync plugin.
~Or, are you running one of the other standalone sync servers?~
Edit: reread your original post. Is this the same KO Insight? https://github.com/GeorgeSG/KoInsight
@seth Yes, that's the right one.
I set this stuff up last weekend while the X4 was on its way after I read that CWA's way of handling things would likely be incompatible.
Insight combined with the crosspoint fork works great. Only missing the stats portion now, might have to get coding for that.
@foosel @concretedog Interesting! I also discovered that thing yesterday. Did you also check the X3? If so, why did you go for the X4 instead?
Curious how user-friendly reading long texts on this smol thing is.
(As you can see I need arguments against buying that smol cutie 🥺)
@stdevel X3 seemed a tad too small, and doesn't have USBC.
Will try to report back on the suitability for reading.
But frankly, if it should not work out for reading, it'll be a good display for home automation stuff ^^
Well that is _considerately_ better than the factory edition firmware, thanks for the knowledge!
