Just got myself a Xteink X4 ebook reader. It will be a companion for my Kindle Paperwhite, not a replacement.

The Xteink X4 is an ultra-thin, palm-sized pocket eReader created by an upstart tech company. It is widely recognized for its minimalist, distraction-free design and its unique magnetic-ready back, which allows users to attach it directly to the back of a smartphone using MagSafe-style rings. Key Specifications

Display: 4.3-inch glare-free E-Ink screen (220 ppi, 800×480 resolution).

Dimensions: 4.9mm thin.

Weight: 74 grams (significantly lighter than a standard smartphone).

Storage: 16GB internal capacity via an included MicroSD card, storing thousands of books.

Processor: Powered by an ESP32 chip with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Battery: 650 mAh capacity, offering a 14-day battery life depending on daily reading habits.

Hardware Controls: Features physical page-turn buttons.

Lighting: Built without a front light to keep the profile ultra-thin and maximize paper-like display clarity.

An excellent resource and community for this device it’s the readme.club and Reddit.
