I'm not surprised that Onyx Boox is trying to make a competitor to XTEINK but I'm curious about the price point and software.
I got my X4 for 55 USD, hard to beat that price. But if it has a better software experience I might pass this one on.

They're blocking the installation of custom firmwares on devices sold from China/aliexpress (currently). They're claiming they're allowing it on devices from their official store.

The Xteink X4 is an affordable pocket sized ereader with a community working on improving the firmware. I've had mine for a few weeks now. Here is a guide on setting it up https://hollie.eilloh.net/xteink

I wanted to read Instapaper articles on my Xteink X4, so I decided to make a script that will download articles and serve up the epubs on an opds feed.
You can add the feed to Crosspoint or CrossInk and download selected articles for reading. It will also sync with your Instapaper, so deleted/archived articles get removed from the feed.

A simple way of exposing unread instapaper articles as an OPDS feed, you can use this with any OPDS reader - naivchan/instapaper-to-opds
My new mini ereader came in!

The Xteink X4 and the Kobo Libra Colour. The Xteink has a cartoon crocodile holding a coke as a sleep image. The Kobo has stickers on the sleep cover.
Both devices are displaying text from the Water Magician Arc 1 vol 4
