At $279, it's too expensive for my taste. I almost talked myself out of buying a $69 ($55 after my discounts) Xteink X4 ereader today. lol
It also looks like it comes with built-in AI chatbot, Meta stuff, YouTube and a bunch of stuff I'd never use. I usually reflash my ereaders as soon as I get them. I just want to read books on them. Nothing else.
Feels like they're always adding shit to ereaders to inflate their MSRP. It can and should be a dirt cheap way to replace an arbitrary amount of paper waste.

Sounds like interesting hardware ruined by it's proprietary software.
