I love to read, but don't do it enough. The other day I picked up a Xteink X4 for $69 and I have been using it a bunch -- I'm currently reading H.P. Lovecraft's [Short Fiction](https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/h-p-lovecraft/short-fiction ) from Standard Ebooks. This reader is so tiny and easy to carry around that it is a great way to not doom scroll and just read a good book.

I replaced the stock OS with [CrossPoint Reader](https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader ) which makes it a lot faster and easier to use (it was easy to switch over). One of the nice things is that there is a mode that turns the reader into an access point, I connect to it and there is a tiny web server on the reader itself that allows me to upload books, manage books and manage the reader's settings.

Here's a picture of it next to my iPhone 16 Pro and a Hot Wheels car.
