My X3 arrived yesterday evening. It took about 8 days to get to Canada. I ordered it on April 11 during the “read” promotion.
I have it paired with my Traveler’s Notebook (card edition), and it’s a match made in heaven! I’ve set it up as my wallet, a place for quick notes, and an e-reader for on-the-go use.
First impressions: I’m blown away by how small it is compared to the X4, which I’ve been using for the past two months.
Pros:
The ergonomics are great for my small hands.
- The text is very sharp.
- It’s very lightweight.
- The build quality is beyond my expectations for the price.
- It looks cute.
Cons:
- Not smudge-proof.
- The firmware isn’t 100% optimized yet, likely because it was only released a couple of months ago (unlike the X4).
Conclusion:
For me, I’d take this over the X4.
Overall, it’s a sleek e-reader that you can enjoy anytime, anywhere sheathed mode.
10/10 — would recommend!
