The xteink firmware isn't terrible but I think I'll install Crosspoint today. And the Calibre plugin.

@ctt @sylvia I've only had mine for a day, but I'm tickled by how easy it is to hold. It weighs nothing and the side buttons let you zip through the pages.

I'll still use my kobo for reading in bed, but this one is going to live in my purse/pocket, I think. It's so easy to carry.

@ctt @sylvia @cherizilla Now you’ve all got me interested too… I was wanting to spend a small amount of tech money, and I’m reading heaps these days…

@sylvia I carry my X3 everywhere too!

@ctt @sylvia I have the X3. It's the smaller of the two I think. No backlight and no touchscreen.

@ctt @sylvia I believe Crosspoint works on all the models. Here's the project page: https://crosspointreader.com/

@ctt David - As an update now that I've had mine a few days, I've been keeping it tucked in the front pocket of my purse, or in an inner hoodie pocket. I've been using it (a lot) to read on the bus, on the train, at the park, at the coffeeshop. I use my Kobo at home.

I use the soft case (excellent), usb C adapter, and the magnetic book light. The soft case makes the mag booklight a bit less stick-y, but it's still a very nice setup. The X3 came with a matte screen protector and it's excellent.

@cherizilla Thank you for the update, Cheri. I have bought a USB C adapter with my X3. I was thinking of waiting on other accessories until the device arrived and I figured how I use it, and see how it works.

I was looking at the light and wondered how often I would need it. Do you use yours often? I have no sense yet of how often I’ll need a light.

@ctt Cool beans. I hope you enjoy it! Come to think of it, I've only used the booklight when testing the device out at home in the evenings. When I'm out and about in daylight I haven't needed it, and I don't carry it.
