Mindful Smartphone Reading Devices : Xteink X4

The Xteink X4 eReader is a supplemental device for smartphone users to incorporate into their lifestyle as a way to curb doomscrolling and spend more time actually reading. The slow tech device features a 4.3-inch e-ink display that can be used for reading eBooks or text files to draw users away from their smartphone screen. The unit has physical page buttons to cycle through books with a satisfying press, while the compact design of the device can be easily carried with a smartphone or in place of it, depending on the occasion.

The Xteink X4 eReader has a 650mAh battery rated for 14 days of use and weighs in at 77-grams for a lightweight profile. The paper-like reading experience doesn’t require much power, while also being a cozier way for users to read without completely leaving technology behind.
