Xteink’s mini e-readers are 20 percent off on Prime Day

the Extinc X4 And smaller E-Readers X3 They are discounted to $55.20 (normally $69) and $63.20 (normally $79) respectively, as part of Prime Day Promotions on Amazon this week. Both e-readers are much smaller and more pocketable than any of the currently available Kindle and Kobo models, and feature magnetic mounts so they can be attached to the back of MagSafe-compatible smartphones. The bundled software is a little rough around the edges, but the versions sold by Amazon can be easily upgraded to Free firmware for CrossPoint Reader It features a more polished user interface.

In our Hands-on x4We liked that the e-reader features several buttons that are used to turn the e-book’s pages, but had difficulty navigating its sometimes challenging bundled software using buttons instead of a touchscreen. Battery life is excellent, and the e-reader offers a few different ways to load books and other documents, but keep in mind that you won’t have access to a dedicated online book store like Kindles and Kobos feature.

the X3 functions It’s similar to the X4, but with a smaller design, improved button layout, and wider compatibility with smaller smartphones that feature magnetic holders on the back. It’s also easier to store in a small pocket, but the X3’s reliance on a special magnetic USB charging cord can be a deal-breaker for those prone to losing cables.
