The Xteink X4 Pro is a great, tiny e-reader, and it’s cheaper than ever
The Xteink X4 Pro is still matching its Prime Day price. | Photography by Andrew Liszewski / The Verge If you’re looking for an e-reader that can easily fit in your pocket (or snap onto your magnet-equipped phone), the tiny Xteink X4 Pro might be worth a look.
It features a 4.26-inch, 800 x 480 E Ink display, making it significantly smaller and thinner than Amazon’s smallest six-inch Kindle .
It’s also quite a bit cheaper.
Right now, you can pick it up for $84.15 ($25 off) at Amazon , which is its best price to date.
Xteink X4 Pro Where to Buy: $109 $84.15 at Amazon $109 at Xteink The X4 Pro brings several welcome upgrades over its predecessors, including a touchscreen that gives readers another way to interact with it.
It still has physical page-turning buttons, though.
There’s also a new touch-sensitive button below the display for quickly returning to the home screen, along with a built-in light with adjustable brightness and color temperature, so you can read in the dark.
It ships with the excellent CrossPoint Reader software , which makes navigating your library and reading books a much better experience than on previous Xteink models we’ve tested, though it’s still not quite as polished as Amazon’s software.
Understandably, not everyone is a fan of Xteink’s decision to swap the X4 Pro’s USB-C port for a proprietary charging connector.
If you can look past that, the X4 Pro is a great, little e-reader that features magnets that let you attach it to compatible smartphones, just like previous models.
The magnetic connection is stronger this time around, though we still wish it were a little more secure.
All the same, my colleague Andrew Liszewski still considers the X4 Pro the best tiny e-reader you can buy , calling it a device he “won’t leave the house without.” Read our hands-on impressions.
