Pros

  • It is dead easy. So there are three methods, but the easiest one is the most convenient for me and works great on the trail. ... Hit upload, select your ebooks you just grabbed, make sure the convert box is still selected, and a few seco...
  • Xteink x4 (or x3). They're not very expensive.
  • I have an x4, and I can echo the same thing. Text is the same size. It's been great for me for reading.
  • Overall, I think this device is very viable for onebag travel. For like $70 it’s a good deal, just be prepared to spend a ln hour or so for setup.
  • E-Reader - XTEINK X4 running crosspoint (current favorite and newest carry)

Cons

  • I've looked at this device and others like it before, but the lack of backlight kills this category for me. I'd ditch my Kindle for this but if I can't read it in a dark plane cabin or laying in bed at night, I just can't rely on it.
  • xteink is a good device to carry around, a funny secondary one, not something to read on for long, it doesn't have a good system, the library organization is inexistent, you can't change the fonts without a PC...
  • I wanna like it but it seems like a pain to use.
  • I have the X4 as well. For anyone considering one, it's a great TRAVEL ereader, but I would not call it a great ereader for everyday. For travel: The major drawback is that it doesn't have a front/back light.
  • I've wanted to get an Xteink to go on the back of my phone, but I have an S25Ultra and I don't think it fits properly, perhaps the 3 would fit

It is dead easy. So there are three methods, but the easiest one is the most convenient for me and works great on the trail. ... Hit upload, select your ebooks you just grabbed, make sure the convert box is still selected, and a few seconds later, you've got more books without ever breaking stride.
