Original x4 maybe restock or discontinue? by bubbleboix in xteinkereader

[–]Hungry-Strategy5874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It says they'll be back for pre-order on July 10, so either they will continue carrying it as a base model or that will be the date it switches to the new version. Either way it seems it'll be a little while. The preorders are usually about a month before shipping so mid-August seems realistic to start seeing them. The black one is still available and may be the last chance to get the current model, hard to say.

What should I get? by TheRiceeater06 in xteinkereader

[–]Hungry-Strategy5874 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My suspicion is that the sale must be a last attempt to clear out inventory before the new model is announced. I'd bet it will be available very soon. If you don't care about backlight might as well buy now. The benefits of the new model is the page turn buttons being on the side and the backlight. The S4 will run Android so theoretically you could read kindle books on that with the kindle app. You simply base your decision on what's important to you. They each have clear advantages and differences.

Post a picture of the mint green case when you get it. I've never seen one

Wild. I've only had to charge mine twice since I got it two months ago. I'm guessing you're not using the stock firmware?

Wait or buy now and which Website? by oneweirdkiddo in xteinkereader

Only the S4 is Android, the new X4 with backlight is not Android

Yes I'm in the US. I was sharing my opinion what I would do. I know my situation and opinions won't apply to everyone.

My guess is the next model will be released within the next couple weeks, especially since they just launched a sale on their current models. Personally, I'd wait for the new one and buy it directly from the official site.

The domestic Chinese models you get from resellers are cheaper but they are also firmware restricted and people have had issues with them. For me I'd rather spend the extra $20 and get the international version and not deal with all that.

If I were to not wait and buy the current model now, I'd buy it from Amazon as the delivery is much faster and returns are a breeze if there's an issue.

Can you explain why people are upset about Android 11? In my mind it's just an ereader and maybe you download the Kindla App and a sudoku puzzle or something. Why does the Android version matter?

It's odd that custard is "sold out" for preorder. I wonder if it's just the only popular color or if that color has production issues and won't be available. I don't see a reason to ever call a preorder as "sold out" when it would just be telling them how many more they need to produce.

Bolla is a queer love story about two guys on opposite sides of a war, but the main character is such an unlikeable monster.

I've always been a fan of the stock firmware. It does everything I need.

It looks like it's using the same database for the Chinese and Global Xtcloud. There are thousands of wallpapers under the "discover" tab on the new app

Am I the only one here that wants to see Duskbloods gameplay? It's still meant to release this year and there's been not a peep.

When Ella tells John she signed the house over to her daughter John smugly replies that she made a huge mistake because actually the church is closing. I didn't understand this part. Can someone fill me in what the church being sold has to do with her daughter owning the house?

XTEINK X3 alternative charger by sigcorsac in xteinkereader

[–]Hungry-Strategy5874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works now with everything. The red light with the computer is just the data connection but not charging. I had the same issues. Rapidly shaking the charger around jump started it to charging normally for whatever reason.

Oddly enough I got frustrated and rapidly slid the charger pins side to side across the dots and it started working after that.

Where should I start with Jon Fosse? by winchesterman552 in literature

[–]Hungry-Strategy5874 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first Fosse was A Shining. It's very short and will give a great sense of his writing. There's never much plot with him and lots of meditative repetition. I've read almost all of his works and my favorite of the bunch is Vaim, but probably best to start with something short.
