Hi folks,
Haven't seen too much on this device, and I've purchased it and thought I'd share.
It's a micro reader device similar to other XTEink, Onyx Pico style micro devices, and officially supported by
Crosspoint.
The reason I picked it over XTEink and others was the more squarish form factor/aspect ratio, which to me looked more book-like than the narrower phone-like screens.
Pros: - form factor is absolutely perfect for my use, I love the little rounded size, and more book-like screen. USB-C, magnetic back, capacitive home button, touchscreen, page-turn buttons. I got the frontlight version, there is a 'lite' (non-frontlight version as well).
- Crosspoint was incredibly easy to setup, and works flawlessly with book delivery and progress sync (see notes below on setup). I can read on this device at work/travel, and carry on where I left-off on my Kobo at home.
- Support, see below
Cons: - frontlight is uneven, there's brighter banding along the bottom. It seems to be the same for many folks on eegoread subreddit, and I reported it to their support. They acknowledged the issue and actually offered to send me a new one from the next production batch (support is amazing).
Setup notes:
I set it up with Crosspoint, and self-hosted instances of BookOrbit and Crosspoint Sync, to deliver books wireless, and sync progress between Kobo (via Kobo API) <-> this device. My full setup notes are
here, which would likely work for any Crosspoint <> Kobo Sync or Koreader setup.
A good look (not me):
Happy to answer any questions
