I kept seeing this weird credit card-sized e-reader everywhere on Threads — turns out it's a £40 ESP32-powered e-ink device from AliExpress, and I've had it in my pocket every day for 4 months. In this video I cover everything you need to know about the Xteink X4 — the build quality (spoiler: it's cheap), the software situation (switch to Crosspoint, trust me), the MagSafe trick that made it go viral, and whether it's actually worth buying. It's unpolished, a bit fiddly, and has no backlight. I love it anyway.
