The Xteink X4 e-reader is down to under $60 on Amazon for the next few hours

I’ve been covering e-readers and e-ink tablets for Lifehacker for a few years now, and I’ve never encountered a product with such enthusiastic fans. Xteink X4A tiny little, bare-bones e-reader from China that has replaced my beloved phone-shaped Boox Palma 2 as my distraction-free reading device of choice—not least because it’s so much cheaper, about $70 to the Palma 2’s $250. And if you act fast, now you can score X4 for less than $60 during the Amazon Flash Sale.

As I explain in my review, The X4 is a bit flimsy, a bit chunky, and not for everyone—but it has a huge cult of tinkerers who share tips and tricks on Reddit, and Wrote their own custom firmware To replace the stock operating system. With minimal effort, you can transform it into a really great, stripped-down e-reader perfect for taking with you wherever you go—seriously, it’s so small that I often forget it’s in my pocket.

Amazon’s Flash Sale lasts for just a few more hours, So act fast if you are interested. But if you miss out, the Xteink X4 is still a great buy at the regular $69 price. (However you may want to wait The upcoming Xteink S4(which will add some quality of life improvements like touch screen, front light and Android support.)
