Well, I just dug around the whole market for a small eink reader, and determined I want an x4 with usb-c and a warm front light.

I don't need a touch screen or any other non-sense. Just a charging interface compatible with everything else, a decent screen, and the ability to read in the dark.

I have an old Boox Nova Pro, but it's screen refresh went to pot with an OS update, and I kinda stopped using it.

I liked the idea of the Palma and have looked at other ~3inch devices over the years, but the Palma is too pricey and the rest have been about equal in price or junk.

Was tempted to jump on the Bigme bandwagon with one of the recent releases, but I really don't need anything that fancy.

The x3-x4 price range is about perfect, but what's the point of epaper with no light or USB-C in 2026?

Bah, what are these people doing?

Who wants to bet the Picco will tick all my boxes but the price will be like $160 USD.

Yep, they will totally overcharge for it. I'm loving my little Xteink X4 tho!
