I installed Crosspoint Reader on a M5Stack Paper S3, same price but better features. Its magnets are not aligned right for use as a MagSafe attachment to n iPhone, however.
A Tiny E Reader

Re: A Tiny E Reader
#22I dream of an e-reader which could have the qualities of a true e-ink technology (ability to read under any light conditions, especially sunny one), while allowing usage of dictionaries like the android Livio offline apps (English, French, etc. )
I skimmed through Livio web-site and it seems like it's just a repacked wiktionary?
On my e-book I use KOReader and I uploaded dictionaries of my personal choice on it. When I see a new word, I hold a finger for a bit longer than usual and KOReader opens a modal window with a definition from Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary. It took some time to find a DRM-free version and convert it into StarDict format but I've done it so I can share you only need to use this Python script: https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary. I'm sure there's already a wiktionary stardict on the web and you won't need pyglossary.
KOReader can be installed on many popular e-readers, including jailbroken Kindles (this usually takes 10 minutes to do depending on Amazon mood).

Love to see Crosspoint get a callout here, loving it on my X4 - and a tiny bugfix PR of mine made it into latest :)

Looks interesting - thank you. I will have to give it a try, as I have a few paperwhites in airplane mode since around 2021 (to avoid updates that may one day break calibre sideloading)

#26Just echoing all the other comments here, I've been loving my x4 flashed with crosspoint.

Thanks, do you know if this comment is true still?: > As of the latest models, XTEINK has started to lock down the firmware to prevent users from installing Crosspoint. So, if you're reading these reviews, beware: the thing that a lot of people bought this for is going away soon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R68BIFNIVY07Z/
> Some Xteink units purchased from third-party stores (e.g. AliExpress) ship with USB flashing locked from the factory. If your device is locked, you will need to use the Xteink Unlocker tool available at https://crosspointreader.com/#unlock-tool before you can flash CrossPoint.

Thanks, wanted to report back that I bought an X4 today from Amazon and had no problem flashing Crosspoint

Thanks for sharing! This page also shows a KOReader UI on the right.
