Both e-readers are significantly smaller and more pocketable than any of the Kindle and Kobo models currently available, and feature magnetic mounts so they can be stuck to the back of MagSafe-compatible smartphones. The bundled software is a little rough around the edges, but the versions Amazon is selling can both be easily upgraded to the free CrossPoint Reader firmware featuring a more polished user interface.</p> <div><h3>Xteink X4 e-reader</h3> <figure><img width="300" height="200" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/01/xteink_x4_6.jpg/query-dz0zMDA?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/01/xteink_x4_6.jpg/query-dz0zMDA"/></figure> <h3>Where to Buy:</h3><ul><li> <strike>$69</strike> $55.2 at <strong>Amazon</strong></li><li> $69 at <strong>Xteink</strong></li></ul></div> <p>In our hands-on with the X4, we liked that the e-reader features several buttons that are used to turn the pages of an ebook, but struggled with navigating its sometimes challenging bundled software using buttons in lieu of a touchscreen.

It’s even easier to stash in a small pocket, but the X3’s dependence on a proprietary magnetic USB charging cord could be a deal breaker for those prone to losing cables.</p></div>
