XTEINK X3 vs X4 Comparison Review – Which One is Better?
After using and reviewing both the Xteink X4 and the Xteink X3 over the past couple of months, I’ve come to the conclusion that I could get along with using either of them. The larger X4 fits my giant hands better (the last time I bought gloves they were XXL and they were still too […]

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 […]
Is the Xteink X4 Going to be Discontinued Soon?
The Xteink X4 running CrossPoint has quickly become my new favorite ereader (I’d been waiting for a small, pocketable, basic ebook reader for years and Xteink finally delivered), but I’m concerned that it might get discontinued soon.
