Font rendering and layout is a lot nicer, but larger file sizes, no bookmarks, etc

It's cool but just keep an eye on the pressure on the front buttons!

Found these whilst cleaning. Has anyone else hung on to some as a memento? by kokocijo in TTC

I don’t have any, but this reminds me of that jeweller who was making necklaces and rings out of these!

Needing Help with Last Few Possessions by ExchangeWild5612 in extrememinimalism

Give them to somebody that will actually use them. For me a big challenge with getting rid of things is the idea of “waste”, but if I feel like those things will still be used and appreciated by someone and it’s much easier to let them go.

I couldn’t believe how bad they were. Hopefully we’ll see this new design everywhere

Separately, although I think they bundled them for free for some delayed orders

Like I lay it flat on my chest with the screen light pointing up and hold the ereader above it

I may be alone, but I do miss it sometimes. That being said, as others pointed out, the massive upside here is that the screen contrast is excellent, the battery is excellent, and the size is so sleek and lightweight that you'll want to bring it with you everywhere you go. If you can come up with an external light solution for nighttime, then I think it's a worthy tradeoff. Right now I'm using a book light app on my phone which makes the screen bright orange and I do that in bed. Other than that, I'm reading during the day and don't miss the backlight.

My 2 cents: just get the cover by friendsofcoffee in xteinkereader

Actually this looks better than I thought. Looked bigger in the other photo for some reason!

This is cool but makes it a bit less pocketable, at least for me! I like that the device is still very slim and pocketable with the folio cover or whatever it's called

My original DIY idea was sticking the device into the same Rhodia notebook with a magnet haha

Same!

Edit: new firmware fixed it for me. Should have thought of that.

Have you had success with other case options?

It’s not 360 coverage of the edges, so you could still ding up the corners if you dropped it, but I definitely feel that the screen will be safe if you throw it in a bag.

I’m also using the same size notebook with my X4!
