#Xteink is currently working on blocking firmware flashing on the #X4. What a smart move. Maybe the best option to kill your success.

The hardware is amazing, but they’ve put almost no effort into making the software even decent. The community really stepped up to fill that gap, and honestly, that’s been a huge part of the company’s success.
Things are still a bit unclear as it sounds like overseas products might not be affected, but either way, this feels like a dumb move.

J'ai reçu ma nouvelle mini liseuse \o/
Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas, il s'agit d'une XTEINK X4 Classic :

Il me reste plus qu'à y installer CrossPoint :

I made a web page describing how I got my #Xteink up and running. I’m enjoying the size, reading on it is a joy. It’s so pocketable! :)
Do you want a dumb-but-amazing ebook reader that only does one thing? The XTEINK might be the device for you! It only takes #drmfree epubs (and bmps for the screensaver), but… no popups. No notifications. Nothing but you and your book!
