Just learned today about the Xteink X4 device, which seems really nice pocket e-reader (with physical buttons)

And there’s an Open Source firmware:

Has anybody tested it?

@ploum@mamot.fr It is fantastic. I use the Open Source Firmware and it works beautifully. I don't use it to read long papers of texts that I want to annotate (it does not have that functionality) but I have gotten to spending my lunch breaks reading fiction books (currently going through Ursula K. Le Guin's works) instead of staring at the phone. The reader is so small that I just have it in my coat pocket all the time. The battery lasts forever.
