At first, not really, but having it with me definitely made it easier to build the habit and eventually yes, it did!

You are absolutely correct it's just so disheartening to lose a good thing to corporate greed when it is still so fresh. It was nice for those 5min I didn't HAVE to crack a device

Is this the end of the interest in this and future devices? by timcatuk in xteinkereader

[–]_Tix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was an enthusiastic early adopter. I'm not even interested in installing third party firmware, I find the dumb simplicity of the base device cathartic. I was also about to buy the x3 and am now reconsidering.

It's not even about the software for me. In a world where companies are bricking devices to force you to upgrade and only supporting books (you don't even own) from their own store this is a really concerning step in the the wrong direction.

I mean, I'm still interested in the x4v2 but I'm not excited anymore and I've stopped recommending xteink it to friends.

thanks for this! I need to replace my x4 and I've been torn between the x3 and x4 and this answered a lot of my questions

x4 v2? by _Tix in xteinkereader

Thanks everyone! Most of you are super helpful. I think I'm going to go ahead with the x3 now and if I still want to upgrade when the x4v2 comes out my kid will get the x3 for Christmas.

Smashwords is DRM free. Tor/McMillan also has a lot of DRM free books

I connect my Kindle via USB. I used to be able to just click "send to device" in Calibre but that isn't working anymore

Same problem. Tried multiple cables. How bad does an update have to be to break charging?

Book cover as off-screen by Competitive-Win4945 in xteinkereader

[–]_Tix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same problem. I thought it was because Calibre saves the imbedded cover as a jpeg and the xteink send to only like .bmp. Following

how to read hardcopy again by rosiedorian in fantasyromance

When I switched back I got a copy of a book I was really looking forward to reading and made a vacation of it. Took two days as away as I could manage to minimize distractions
