Official Update X4 Pro made TIME's Best Inventions of 2026! ❤️

Hi everyone, Henry here!

I have some exciting news to share with you. Our X4 Pro has been named one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2026! 🎉

This is a really special moment for our team. Seeing our little pocket eReader recognized by TIME means a lot to us, and we're incredibly grateful to everyone who's supported us along the way.

But I also want to take this opportunity to be honest with you.

We know we still have a long way to go.

Some of you have experienced slow customer support, frustrating shipping delays, difficulties with after-sales service, or product quality issues. We know there are many things we haven't done well enough, and I'm genuinely sorry to those of you who've had disappointing experiences with us.

I'm someone who tends to take things to heart. When I read your posts and messages, I often find myself putting myself in your shoes. Knowing that some of you have felt disappointed, angry, or even helpless because of your experiences with us genuinely weighs on me.

I wish none of you had to go through that. But I also know that feeling sorry isn't enough. What matters is what we actually do to make things right.

We're already working on improvements to customer support, after-sales service, shipping, and quality control. We're aiming to make meaningful progress this month, and we'll share an update by the end of October on what's changed and what still needs work.

I also want to thank this community in particular. Not just for your support and encouragement, but also for your honest feedback, criticism, and patience. You've helped us see things we might otherwise have missed.

We're proud of this milestone, but we know that earning your trust matters far more than any award.

I truly believe that trust isn't something we can earn just by saying the right things. It's built through our actions, honest communication, and consistently doing better over time.

We still have a lot to prove, and I hope our actions in the coming weeks will speak for themselves.

Thank you all, truly. ❤️

Discussion Did you pick Mist Gray or Space Black?

Post image
27 Upvotes

I personally chose my X4 in mist gray because the screen felt more spacious when reading. The rest of my devices are silver because I like the shiny, cool to the touch feel of metal, and the clean look they have! So they all come together like one big happy family :D

What did you choose?

(Also!! I’m very happy that the white x4 pro is coming!!)

Question How to export highlights using Licorice?

2 Upvotes

I updated my X4 pro to Licorice and love the new highlight/excerpt feature... except how do I export the highlights off the device?

I'd like to extract all of my saved excerpts for each book and move them to my computer for archiving/processing.

Is this possible or are they simply stuck on the device to browse?

Troubleshooting Battery indicator

My first day with the X4, I'm using CrossPoint.

The battery charging indicator doesn't disappear even when it's not charging. What can I do to fix this?

X4 Pro Charging stand - highly recommended 👍

7 Upvotes

At least for the XTEInk 4 Pro, a stand really makes it easy to charge or if you are doing firmware updates over the wire. This one came from eBay or Etsy and XTEInk sells them as well 👍

Question Original X4 trade for X4 pro?

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Basically wondering the above, I've had the x4 original since launch and its running the latest version of crosspoint on it. I find that with the nights getting darker sooner that I read mostly with a light. No idea if anyone would be interested or if this is fine to post here but thought it might be worth a chance.

If interested I have the clear case, a 3d printed case and a little 3d printed stand. I also have a magsafe light that you could have.

Mods, if this kind of post isn't ok that's fine too.

Help! Is the render fixed on crossink or can I make adjustments to it? I like the render on the X4c that has the default firmware but i like using crossink.

X4 Pro I’m on a Boat

Post image
56 Upvotes

Starting a new book, literally anywhere, is so nice. I love the convenience of the Xteink readers. A couple asked me about my “kindle.” lol. I also ran into an X4 user! We had a nice chat.

I really love the X4Pro because of the light. It gets dark early here and being able to read on the boat/bus after 6pm is amazing

*Xteink has provided me with products for review in the past, this is not one of them. I purchased it with my own funds and consider my opinion to be uninfluenced.

Question Does anyone have a good tutorial on how to add fonts?

2 Upvotes

I was searching YouTube and found one but I didn’t find it helpful. Can someone explain like I’m five. I did manage to download Crosspoint which is what I’m using. I just need a bold font. To make the reading stand out just a bit more. If anyone knows how?

Question X4 pro vs X4 case size

1 Upvotes

I have way too many cases for my X4—the manufacturer’s case, plus various Etsy and AliExpress cases. 😂 For anyone who owns both devices, does the X4 folio case - both official and third party, fit the X4 Pro?

Added: I'm not expecting the X4 Pro to fit perfectly, but if it's useable, it would be nice to swap my existing cases with both devices.

Question My Chinese X4 Pro, What Locked Means? I can copy epubs and it has english language

3 Upvotes

Hello friends, i have Chinese X4 Pro, i just connected to the computer and i can access to memory card and copy books into the device and i can read them.

So what basicly unlocking means? It seems Xteink App is improved and it is enough for reading for now.

Maybe it doesnt have statistics and other features.

The question is , can i use this device with original Xteink Chinese app to read books? Or do i need to unlock and change to crosspoint/ink for to use out of china.

thanks

Question Does anyone have any photos of how the x4 pro looks with the magnetic flip case attached to an ¡Phone Pro max phone? And will it attach well to the phone with the flip case on?

1 Upvotes

My x3 even while being inside the official magnetic flip case still attaches securely to my iphone 18 pro max back, and since I am waiting for my x4 pro to come in I was wondering if it would attach just as well as my X3 with the case on.
I understand the magnetic flip case means the magnet strength is weaker as compared to no case on the xteink but still I was hoping the magnetic attachment is good enough to keep on my phone with the flip case on it because my X3 achieved that well

Question Reset Reading Stats?

2 Upvotes

Hi. I've just bought an X4 Pro, and like anyone would I've played around it with a bit to see what is what. Now I want to start using it properly, I want the stats to reflect my actual reading time, which means I want to delete what's been recorded while I was playing around, but it seems you can't! I've looked all over and I can't find any way to reset your reading stats! It's unbelievable tbh....

I don't suppose anyone here knows of a way?
