One of the cool things about running CrossPoint on the Xteink X3 and X4 (and probably the new X4 Pro) is you can download a selection of additional font types from the settings menu, but if you’re like me and you already have your own favorite font type, you can also add it to the […]
I Can’t Believe Kindles Still Don’t Have This Feature
I’ve been using the PocketBook Era Lite lately since it’s one of the newest ereaders to hit the market, and like most things it has some pluses and minuses, but one thing that works great is the ability to adjust the frontlight without having to open a menu and leave the page. You can swipe […]
New XTEINK X4 Pro Released with Touchscreen and Frontlight
It’s official. The Xteink X4 Pro was released today, and it’s available to order from Xteink’s website for $99, with a list price of $109. It’s not listed on Xteink’s Amazon store yet, but it’ll probably show up soon (right now they have the smaller X3 on sale for $63.19). The Xteink X4 Pro has […]
Kindles On Sale at Prime Day Prices Again
Amazon’s full lineup of Kindles are on sale again, and the prices are the same as they were last month during Prime Day, but this time the sales aren’t available through Amazon.

Boox Go 6 Gen II Now Available to Order From Onyx’s Amazon Store
Onyx has finally listed the Boox Go 6 Gen II for sale on their official Amazon store, marking the first time that Onyx has sold their 6″ Poke/Go models directly on Amazon instead of using some mystery 3rd-party merchant. The bad news is the shipping date is still two months out, although that’s likely a […]
New XTEINK X4 Pro and X4 Gen 2 Details Leaked Online
It’s no secret that Xteink is planning on releasing a new ereader next week. There have been a number of leaks online, and Xteink even has a placeholder page up on their website for the new X4 Pro. The Xteink X4 Pro is what a lot of people have been waiting for, with the addition […]
Libby on PocketBook eReaders is Poorly Implemented
I decided to test out the Libby “app” on the PocketBook Era Lite today for borrowing ebooks from public libraries, and at first I thought it’s was going to be an upgrade over how Kobo handles library lending on their ereaders, but unfortunately there are some roadblocks that hamper the overall experience. Using the Libby […]
XTEINK’s Software is a Buggy Mess That’s Literally Unusable
For the past month I’ve been trying to use the Xteink X3 with the stock software that it ships with, and it’s been a thoroughly miserable experience. The device is literally a piece of junk if you’re trying to use it as intended. It was so bad that I was starting to think I got […]
