r/XTEINK

Was really hard to set everything up bc I had a defective sd, will use the xteink one while I save up for a good one (they are expensive as hell where I live)

Needless to say I installed Crosspoint straight away and ordered a cover for it.

I absolutely love this device! :)

I just finished making my own front protective cover for my XTEINK. Hand-sewn and made from scraps of material from an old wallet. It’s not perfect, but it gets the job done.

The official XTEINK case is just too expensive, so I thought hmm why not make my own? 🤔

And voilà!! I’m loving it. I might even try other colors next.

I recently got a brick hammer and an x4 e reader. They fit perfectly together with the screen cover on the brick with a MagSafe ring for the x4.

Got it for my birthday. Before this, the e-reader I was using was my jailbroken Kindle, but when I recently went on a trip, it was such a hassle to carry around that I barely read. I have Crosspoint flashed on it and am currently halfway through my current read.

Great device!

My X4 arrived a couple days ago, and I think it’s a great little reader!

This isn’t my first rodeo – neither with e-readers, nor type formatting. I’ve spent decades consulting in graphic design, and it breaks my heart when I see people using full justification.

You know the look – huge random blocks of space, and often only two or three words on a line. Sometimes it’s a matter of personal taste, but sometimes people just don’t know any better.

So I’m posting the settings I’m using on the CrossPoint firmware Reader page. They reflect my personal tastes, but they might be useful as a starting point for those who don’t have much experience with text layout.

The text sample is from Woken Furies, Book 3 of the Takashi Kovacs series by Richard K. Morgan. (If you haven’t read them, be sure to start with Book 1 – Altered Carbon!)

I hope this is helpful for some of you.

P.S. – If you want to have screensaver images in horizontal/landscape format, you still need to save the .bmp files in vertical/portrait format – but rotated 90° in the vertical frame, so that the image is standing on its side.

Otherwise, you’ll just wind up with a tiny image in the center of the portrait format screen. You will probably need to use Photoshop or another dedicated graphics app to do this – I doubt that the web apps will allow it. (I could be wrong – I just haven’t used them.)

So happy to get my X3. Somehow when I ordered, I got a bonus case (I think as a Chinese New Year gift)

I love it all! And obvs had to switch to CrossPoint which is soooo much better!

I’ve seen comments wanting posts of the actual device so here you go!

Excuse the grubby marks, I’ll clean them off but I’m sooo excited!

I was so excited to power this on! But this is how it’s been :( please help! :(
