This tiny, magnetic e-reader could stop you from doomscrolling
The Xteink X3 is a delightfully tiny, MagSafe-compatible e-ink reader that attaches to the back of your phone like a Pop Socket.
TL;DR
- The Xteink X3 is a tiny, MagSafe-compatible e-ink reader that attaches to the back of an iPhone.
- It is intended as an alternative to social media for reading, potentially reducing "doomscrolling."
- The device attaches magnetically and comes with a protective case.
- While it increases reading time, the default firmware is clunky; an open-source firmware called CrossPoint is available.
- The X3 lacks a USB-C port, using a magnetic charger, and does not directly support library ebook apps like Libby due to file protection.
- Users can load public domain books or other .epub files onto the device.
