Last month I posted a review of the Xteink X4 with it running the stock software, which has a lot of problems when it comes to formatting ebooks properly, but luckily it’s possible to install open-source alternative software on the X4.

Review unit purchased from Amazon Overview The X4 is a mini pocket-sized ereader from a new company called Xteink. It’s one of the smallest and lightest ereaders ever made at just 74 grams.

Leather Case Comparison Review for Kindle Paperwhite and Colorsoft
Last year I posted a brief review of Amazon’s premium leather cover for the Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Colorsoft, and then later in the year I ended up getting one of the plant-based leather covers too, so I thought I’d post a quick video review comparing the two.

Last week I posted a review of the Boox Go 7 BW, and since Onyx also sells a version with a color E Ink screen, I wanted to post a quick comparison between the two. There are two generations of the Boox Go Color 7, but the BW version was only released as the second […]
Kindle Paperwhite vs Boox Go 7 BW Comparison Review (Video)
The latest Kindle Paperwhite from 2024 and the new Boox Go 7 BW both use the same 7″ E Ink Carta 1300 screen with 300 ppi, so comparing the two is inevitable, but there are a lot of differences between the two brands. Kindles are designed to do one thing really well, but they aren’t […]
