I've been seeing the Xteink a lot lately. Should I get an X3 or an X4? I don't really know why I want it, but I have an eInk addiction, so I just need it.
Good job, but I’m left wanting to know how to build a printer.
I'd say it's an eco-friendly printer
I don't understand the purpose. What am I missing?
The author "prints" to the eink display. Why not load say the pdf directly?
From the 4th line in the article:
> But getting stuff onto it was tedious. I had to join its hotspot and open a little upload website in my browser. Yuck.
Anyway, very creative, I like the idea a lot.

Very cool. I'll be updating to this fork
Thanks. It's rough around the edges, so PRs are open, and there's a recipe in the repo if you want to build your own apps.
I love the concept, but I wonder why he wasn’t printing to PDF. Can this device not render PDFs?

Kindles have a ton of RAM, this one didn't.
Probably not. It doesn't appear to have enough ram. I'm not sure the CPU is up to that either.
This is amazing!!! It just makes sense. And its just how you would want to use a e reader.
if it looks like a paper, it should act like a paper
You can even fold it, once!
It's also not effective against rock
Funny. But... paper covers rock.
Jan Ken Po!
This is a fantastic idea!
We finally have PADDs from Star Trek!
Wow!! I didn't think of that.

I've owned all of them and the answer is the X4 Pro IMO. It has a backlight, which is the only thing I really missed on the others.
It's funny that X3 is a successor of X4. Only downside is that X4 has a USB-C port and X3 doesn't
What about the back light? Are they otherwise identical?
X3 isn't backlit, but the battery lasts 7 days. So, it's pretty good for me
Outstanding! This is so...correct.
