Reducing my screen time with another device…

In an attempt to reduce the amount of time I spend staring at my phone, I have bought myself another device. At least that is the lie I told myself for buying yet another gadget because it looked cool.

After seeing Max Glenister and Neil Brown speak so highly of this device I just had to buy the XTEINK X4 e-reader. Note, this is not sponsored in any way I just wanted to share it with you!

This is the 3rd e-reader that I own, so I definitely didn’t need this device. I also have an old Kindle which I use exclusively for reading Kindle Unlimited books and a Kobo Clara Colour which is my main reading device.

This device though is different to the others. Its dimensions are 114 x 69 x 5.9mm which is just a little bit bigger than a credit card. It doesn’t have a touchscreen but has physical buttons on the bottom and the side. There is also no backlight.

The device comes with a 32 GB SD card, some magnetic rings and a screen protector. The idea is that you stick the magnetic rings on the back of your phone case and then the device can stick to it. I have a MagSafe case anyway so the device sticks to that quite well.

This thing is really thin and light, you hardly even notice it sitting in your pocket.
