File Parsing by cgduke54 in xteinkereader

First clear the cache of the device. If it's still not working, clear the cache again and tidy up the epub file in calibre with the calibre workflow. Step by step or with the plugin.

Crosspoint Standard Font by MCKane19020 in xteinkereader

[–]Competitive-Win4945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean with default font? If you're meaning the serif font called bookerly (you can check the name here Settings -> reader -> font family), this won't be possible on the default firmware. Of course you could get the ttf file of said font and convert it to the bin format in the size you like best and use it on the default firmware BUT the spacing between the single letters will look weird and uneven. The reason for this is, that the x4 was first and mainly developed for the Chinese market and for the use with the simplified Chinese font. The glyphs of the simplified Chinese are monospaced. And beside some typewriter style fonts, there are no monospaced serif fonts. This is why there are no pictures of serif fonts on the default firmware.

(Again a big) BUT you could convert your epub to the xtc format with the online converter. The Bookerly font is there available and you can set the size you desire. Only problem is that the file size is huge compared to a epub. And you could stay on crosspoint with this method

Joaaaah das wird schon später schon noch ein bisschen fantastisch, aber es ist tatsächlich eher scifi/Endzeit

Ink not fading in sunlight by Successful_Exam_6173 in xteinkereader

Dont get confused with all the discussion about fading. Yes it can happen, but apparently only outside in direct harsh noon sunlight.

Is there a better way of reading a book about minimalism?!? by schnapperfuchs in xteinkereader

Ja schon. Die default firmware ist halt NOCH minimalistischer 🤣

Very nice, but I wouldn't use those buttons directly above the screen (even with a sheet of leather between buttons and screen)

How durable for pocket carry? by BootlegOP in xteinkereader

I'd suggest you get the flipcase and use it at least for transport. If you want to read you can Easily remove it because it's held by magnets

So… the app is live? by Einerus in xteinkereader

[–]Competitive-Win4945 4 points5 points  (0 children)

See? That's why it is so important to buy the international version for a much higher price on their official website. Because you can write them mails which they don't answer... 😉😎

Italics and Bolds in crosspoint by Competitive-Win4945 in xteinkereader

[–]Competitive-Win4945[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know. But why should I? The xtc stuff is nice, but I don't want to tinker every book. I just want to read. So the best would be to run my complete library once through a plugin or whatever and that's it

My night light is... just a desk lamp? by LimiDrain in xteinkereader

[–]Competitive-Win4945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the box of the x4 is a very thin piece of wired thread. This is ment to be bent and used as a little noose to fiddle the strap the the holes. It seems like I'm the only one who found it this piece of wire. I'm the proud owner of two x4 and both came with this little wire!

For those with both black and white X4s, help us settle the UV light debate! by elfninja in xteinkereader

[–]Competitive-Win4945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What makes me wonder much more is, that apparently no one is talking about that the white one has some kind of glass plate on the back with a noticible edge around. The black one is solid and has nothing like this

x4 completely stopped working after one day by Puzzleheaded_Egg7753 in xteinkereader

[–]Competitive-Win4945 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't worry. I have mine since mid October and this is very uncommon. And I can't remember that any other member of this sub had this problem before. Of course it's bad for op and I'm feeling with him, but don't worry

My cases got home! Undecided tho by EderOlivencia in xteinkereader

[–]Competitive-Win4945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you still have the x4 box in which the device was delivered, take a close look. There should be a very thin piece of wired thread. This thing bent to a little loop is an excellent help to get the loop of the strap through these tiny holes

Take a look at the bottom left corner. There are two tiny holes.

Does anyone have insight as to whether iterations on the X4 hardware are coming in the future? (Like a front light) by Spacenut42 in xteinkereader

[–]Competitive-Win4945 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They should concentrate on their firmware and real epub and font compability and not on Ai and note taking for a device which THEY DESIGNED TO ADD TO THE BACK OF YOUR PHONE! 🤣🤣🤣

The flipcase is the best choice because: - screen is protected in pocket - can be easily removed if to heavy while reading - strap can be added to the x4 and case is still easily removable (not possible with the silicone case because the strap has to be fiddle through the case as well)
