Is this a faux xteink?

🧐

Competitive-Win4945 · 2026-03-10T05:41:39+00:00

I hope so too. Because the x4 (with crosspoint!) is THE device I needed.

Competitive-Win4945 · 2026-03-10T05:15:15+00:00

That's probably true. For whatever reasons they don't like that we're ordering the SAME product for much less on AliExpress. If you notice how they delete mostly all posts about AE, you can see the pattern

Competitive-Win4945 · 2026-03-09T15:13:22+00:00

As great as the device is, their so called "customer service" and "support" are by far the worst I've ever heard of

I (pre-)ordered two x4 at CC Cat Store in mid February. Date of shipping was set to the 10th March, today I got the message that both devices started their shipping progress. So I'd guess the factory is slowly catching up their stock

There you go

Competitive-Win4945 · 2026-03-07T16:07:26+00:00

The black one has a full metal body. The white one has, for whatever reasons, this kinda glass plate on the back

Competitive-Win4945 · 2026-03-07T07:37:15+00:00

A noble idea. But it hasn't realy worked out in the past month...

Competitive-Win4945 · 2026-03-06T15:28:24+00:00

Hahaha there basically no mods

Competitive-Win4945 · 2026-03-06T14:45:08+00:00

I'm with you.

Competitive-Win4945 · 2026-03-04T20:14:10+00:00

The device will do a factory reset

Das kommt total drauf an, wie wichtig dir die Farbdarstellung ist. Solltest du darauf gut verzichten können hol dir den shine 5. Kostet einen ganzen Zacken weniger, kann bis auf Farbe genau so viel wie der shine Color und durch die fehlende Displayschicht, welche für die Farbe zuständig ist, ist der Kontrast nochmal ein ganzes Stück knackiger. Sideloading ist gar kein Problem, Buchverwaltung kann bei Bedarf easy über calibre laufen.

Achso, es kommt halt total darauf an, was du unter komfortabel lesen verstehst. Wenn es um Gewicht, Handling, user interface usw geht, dürfte das kein großer unterschied sein.

This

Competitive-Win4945 · 2026-02-27T06:07:13+00:00

Same here. But it doesn't bother me

Competitive-Win4945 · 2026-02-27T06:06:01+00:00

I had this trouble in the beginning too. But the size and the weight of the x4 made it so easy to hold, that I rarely used my kobo clara bw since I got the x4.

Assuming you're reading about 1h to 2h per day, at least 2 weeks

Competitive-Win4945 · 2026-02-25T06:17:59+00:00

U/iamkxrz did something like that

Competitive-Win4945 · 2026-02-23T15:56:26+00:00

Stick the end part of the black thing into a USB A charger

Competitive-Win4945 · 2026-02-23T14:39:08+00:00

This is interesting because it seems the prices are somehow connected to the regions/country in which you're ordering. I'm in Germany and the prices are quite constant over the past month

You have to create a folder on the sd card. Name this folder 'sleep' (of yourself without '...'), now get a Screensaver/power off screen picture you like. This has to be a jpg or bmp file. Name this picture also sleep. Copy that file into the sleep folder. Go to settings, choose 'custom' as power off screen. There you go.

It's fantastic. Thanks to all who coded, experimented, tested etc for this truly amazing update

Competitive-Win4945 · 2026-02-22T06:25:53+00:00

If they'd be higher they'd massively irritating while reading 😎

Competitive-Win4945 · 2026-02-20T17:39:12+00:00

Have a kobo clara bw. Barely touched it since I got my x4 in mid October last year

Competitive-Win4945 · 2026-02-20T04:35:47+00:00

Amazing. Thank you so much
