A fork of CrossPoint e-reader firmware for the Xteink X4 & X3, focused on reading Japanese books with built-in learning tools and motivating stats.
Highlights
📖 Vertical Japanese text (tategaki) — Japanese EPUBs are auto-detected and rendered in right-to-left vertical columns with proper kinsoku line breaking, furigana (ruby) positioning, bold/emphasis marks, and a per-book vertical/horizontal toggle.
🔍 Word Lookup — Look up any word on the current page directly from the reader menu:
- Full JMdict vocabulary (via Jitendex) with readings, POS tags, and example sentences
- Verb deinflection: 食べませんでした → 食べる, 読まれた → 読む, compound auxiliaries too
- JMnedict name recognition (with honorific grouping: 根岸さん as one unit) and an optional grammar reference
💬 Page Translation — Translate the current page to English via Gemini (free API key required, see setup).
📚 Manga reader — Real panel detection (YOLO, converted on your PC with the included tool), panel-by-panel zoom, per-panel dictionary lookup, pre-extracted translations, bookmarks, and full Library/Insights integration.
🈶 Fonts — Built-in fonts cover all jōyō + jinmeiyō kanji (2,999 total). Install the included NotoSansJP .cpfont set for complete JIS coverage — while an SD Japanese font is loaded it also serves as an on-demand fallback, so rare kanji in dictionary entries never render blank.
🌏 Localized UI — All UI, including the fork's additions, translated into all 27 supported languages (Japanese UI included).
📊 Reading Insights — Statistics on your reading time, finished books and a streak to maintain consistency
📚 Library with covers — Recent books becomes library: It shows all your books with covers. The books can be organized into shelves with folders. The books are sorted by recently read.
Plus everything from upstream CrossPoint 1.4.x: non-Japanese books support, OPDS, web file transfer, sleep-screen covers, and more.
