I love the concept, but I wonder why he wasn’t printing to PDF. Can this device not render PDFs?

This is amazing!!! It just makes sense. And its just how you would want to use a e reader.

  if it looks like a paper, it should act like a paper

      It's also not effective against rock

        Funny. But... paper covers rock.

I've been seeing the Xteink a lot lately. Should I get an X3 or an X4? I don't really know why I want it, but I have an eInk addiction, so I just need it.

  I've owned all of them and the answer is the X4 Pro IMO. It has a backlight, which is the only thing I really missed on the others.

  It's funny that X3 is a successor of X4. Only downside is that X4 has a USB-C port and X3 doesn't

    What about the back light? Are they otherwise identical?

      X3 isn't backlit, but the battery lasts 7 days. So, it's pretty good for me

Outstanding! This is so...correct.
