CrossPoint Reader is an open-source replacement firmware for the Xteink X4 e-paper reader. It adds EPUB support, customizable layouts, Wi-Fi uploads, OTA updates, KOReader Sync integration, and gives users full control over their device.

Built for the ESP32-C3, it turns a closed e-reader into a fully hackable and community-driven reading platform.

Did you misspell the name of the community? You should probably fix that before it becomes too popular to change.

You can create a new one with the correct name and start posting in that instead. You'll have to abandon whatever history and subscribers have accumulated here so far (edit: just checked the sidebar, and it's not much), but I think that's a better option than having the misspelling persist indefinitely.
