Fixes & improvements

We’ve also fixed several known issues, including:

  • Reading progress not syncing correctly to the app
  • Compatibility issues with certain Bluetooth page turners

A quick note about Dark Mode:

Some customization options have also been prepared in this release and will continue to be expanded in upcoming firmware versions.

[Back to School] X3 is 15% off + free magnetic case, Aug 14–20

For us, one of the best things about X3 is that you don’t really have to plan around it.

It can stay in a pocket or small bag and be there whenever there’s a little time to read.

So for Back to School, from Aug 14–20, X3 is 15% off, and we’re including a free magnetic case in a random color.

If you’ve been thinking about picking one up, here’s the link:

Read freely.

A little coffee. A few more pages.

Reading doesn’t always need a whole afternoon.

Sometimes it’s just a coffee, a quiet spot by the window, and enough time for a few more pages.

That’s one of the things we like most about having a pocket-sized eReader around—it makes those small reading moments easier to take advantage of.

For anyone interested, XTEINK X3 & X4 are also 15% off for the next 24 hours:

Hi everyone,

We’ve noticed the ongoing discussions in the community around firmware flashing restrictions, as well as the concerns and feedback shared by many users. We fully understand these concerns.

To clarify: the information being discussed comes from internal risk assessments focused on safety and after-sales considerations for a specific market and usage context.

Xteink develops and optimizes products across different regions based on local user needs, usage habits, and regulatory requirements. As a result, product decisions may differ between markets, while the overseas product line continues to follow its own independent roadmap and iteration cycle.

We truly appreciate the feedback around system openness, flexibility, and overall user experience. These are core aspects of why many users choose Xteink, and we continue to take all related feedback seriously.

For future overseas updates, we aim to continuously improve the balance between stability, security, and usability, based on real-world user experience.

Our product direction will continue to evolve with user needs and market conditions. While we do not set fixed commitments about future changes, our focus remains on making the product better and more user-friendly.

Thank you for all the discussions and feedback. We are reading everything closely, and we encourage you to continue sharing your thoughts openly.

We will keep communication transparent and share updates as they become available.
