The Xteink X3 Ebook Reader. For a week now I've been using this little, credit card sized, gadget for daytime reading. Reletively cheap (€69 from AliExpress), a long lasting battery and weighing in at only 56 grams, this is the perfect small device to carry around with you. The reading experience is pretty good too. The supplied UI software from Xteink is very basic so for a better experience I installed the Crosspoint UI from https://crosspointreader.com/ (easy 1 click install). Much better. All my books were loaded directly onto it's SD card from Calibre
Cons? There are issues. There is no backlight, so no nighttime reading without a lamp/headtorch. Also the lack of an easy way to sync with my main ebook reader (Kobo Libra) meant a bit of faffing around to match reading places. No sync with Amazon/Apple neither.
That aside, I'm glad I've got this to hand to while away the hours reading a good book, rather than doom scrolling through my phone. I await the backlit version, that surely must arrive at some point.
