The XTEINK X4 Pro, a compact e-book reader designed for portability, is currently on sale at Amazon for $84.15, marking its lowest price to date. This limited-time deal offers a significant discount from its usual $99 price point.
The X4 Pro measures 5.95mm thin and weighs just 72 grams, making it easily pocketable. Its 4.3-inch E-Ink display is suitable for comfortable reading and is designed to mimic the readability of paper, even in direct sunlight. The device can also magnetically attach to the back of a smartphone.
Features common to modern e-readers are present, including a dual-tone front light for low-light reading conditions. Users can interact with the device via its touchscreen or physical page-turn buttons. The E-Ink technology allows for extended battery life, with a single charge lasting for weeks.
The X4 Pro supports EPUB, TXT, MOBI, and PDF formats. Content can be added through an official app, cloud services, or a microSD card. The accompanying app can also convert ebooks into compatible formats. The device includes buttons for home, power, and page navigation, along with a microSD card slot and a lanyard hole. While it does not come with a charging cable, it includes an adapter for USB-C cables and a magnetic ring for phone attachment.
Customization options are available through the settings menu, allowing users to remap buttons and adjust display parameters such as font, line spacing, text size, and brightness. The device also offers a night mode and automatic color temperature adjustments.
The appeal of the X4 Pro lies in its ability to provide a dedicated reading experience that avoids the distractions of smartphones. Its small size makes it convenient for carrying anywhere, allowing users to read a few pages in moments typically spent on phone usage. The limited text on each page also contributes to a less visually intimidating reading experience.
