The compact Xteink X4 Pro e-reader is now more affordable than ever.
If you’re on the hunt for a pocket-sized e-reader that can easily attach to your magnet-equipped phone, the compact Xteink X4 Pro is definitely worth considering. With its 4.26-inch, 800 x 480 E Ink display, it’s notably smaller and slimmer than the smallest six-inch Kindle, and it comes at a more budget-friendly price. Currently, you can snag it for $84.15, which is a $25 discount and its lowest price yet.
The X4 Pro introduces several appealing enhancements over earlier models, including a touchscreen that offers an additional way to interact with the device. It still retains physical page-turn buttons for those who prefer them. A new touch-sensitive button located below the display allows for quick access to the home screen, and it features a built-in light with adjustable brightness and color temperature, making it easy to read in low-light conditions. It comes equipped with the improved CrossPoint Reader software, which enhances library navigation and reading compared to previous Xteink versions, although it may not be as refined as some competitors’ software.
While some users may not appreciate the switch from a USB-C port to a proprietary charging connector, the X4 Pro remains a fantastic little e-reader. It includes magnets for attaching to compatible smartphones, similar to earlier models, and this time the magnetic connection is stronger, though a bit more security would be ideal. Regardless, it has earned high praise, with one enthusiast declaring it the best tiny e-reader available and a device he “won’t leave the house without.”
