Tiny 100,000-won Xteink X4 e-book reader draws interest despite drawbacks
The ultra-compact Xteink X4 e-book reader draws attention for its small size and $69 price, but reviews cite usability and hardware limits. It is smaller than Kobo Mini and Boox Palma, yet lacks a touchscreen and front light and has lower resolution than newer devices. Content support is limited and file transfers can be awkward. The Verge said reading is acceptable and community-developed firmware can improve the interface.
