I use my X4 daily to read where I would have normally used my phone.
I use it with a slim case in my pocket on the go and I use the portfolio leather case when reading with it at home.

Since when
I got mine in June after seeing some 3D printed cases for them and having recently switched to epubs over kindle books. The convenient size and active community, especially around Crosspoint, was what convinced me to get one.
How I use it
I’m pretty busy between work, kids, and commuting so I have to squeeze in small reading sessions where I can. The X4 shines through its insanely small profile that fits in my pockets (unlike kindles) and allows me to sneak in a chapter without much planning/storage.
What I love
The buttons. They’re fun and there’s a bunch so I can find a comfortable way to turn pages no matter how I’m holding it.
What I'd change
I’d like it to be a little more clear what comes with the unit when you buy, and then details like that the folding case doesn’t fit if you also have xteinks plastic case. I bought extra rings and screen protectors thinking it didn’t come with any.
Tip for new members
Don’t buy the ceramic glass screen protector- its gloss finish (wth??) and you’ll probably then also have to put a matte plastic one over it.
