Just got an xteink x4 and flashed crosspoint on it, I've been tuning fonts by modifying the font generator and now it renders great. https://www.xteink.com/pro

Love my x4! I saw 1.3 allows you to bring in your own fonts - any suggestions?

  It also added a list of fonts that can be directly downloaded, not had chance to try them out yet

Same. It’s the best ebook experience I’ve had so far despite its size and I’ve tried a myriad of ereaders. The only missing feature is a backlight for reading at night.

  Back light is a necessity for couples or places with bad light. It is one the greatest Kindle features of all time.

Maybe I'm getting old, but I don't see the appeal of reading on an eink device that's smaller than my phone, which I'm always carrying. Maybe if I'm reading outside in sunlight rather than in bed? Or if I'm worried about getting distracted by a FB/X notification?

  Different person, but I bought a set for me and my wife on a whim because they’re so cheap, and found I adore the little thing. I have a public transit commute to and from work. Since getting it, I’ve spent my commutes reading books I’ve meant to get around to. I have a Kobo I keep at home. I love it, but don’t want to risk breaking it while carrying it around in my backpack, and it’s too big to comfortably hold on a crowded BART (let alone to dig around in my bag to get it out and put it away). The X4 is always in my pants pocket during the commute and small enough to break out wherever I am. Also, it’s small enough to not feel fragile, and cheap enough that it wouldn’t be devastating if I broke it anyway.

  The appeal is that it is a better reading screen than a phone, while being the same size as a phone. It means that I can take a book anywhere without having to bring a bag

    I don’t see how the Kindle requires a bag.

      Literally nothing you can lift requires a bag, yet many people choose to carry their possessions in a bag when they are traveling because they find it fairly convenient to use their hands for things.
