Iโve spent weeks testing whether this Android e-reader can truly replace your dedicated reading devices. We look at how it handles apps like Wattpad and Kindle, and where it wins against Amazonโs latest devices.

I've spent the last few weeks testing the Bigme B6 Color, and there's genuinely a lot to like. At $179, it's a huge saving compared to the Kindle Colorsoft for a color e-reader. It also runs on Android 14, so you can download your favourite apps directly onto the device. There are moments of frustration too, and some real areas where it falls short, but the potential here is genuine.

For longer reading sessions I'd still choose my Kindle or a Kobo with a 7 inch display, so it becomes a question of which is best when I'm out. The X3 still has the better battery, even if only by four days, and the sharper display too. But above all, I almost forget I've got it in my pocket, and it fits perfectly on the back of my phone. The X4 Classic isn't a huge jump in size, but I noticed it more, and it doesn't fit as well on my phone, with the bottom running over the edge. For many, the X4 Classic will be the better choice, with the general improvements and bigger display for reading. I just feel the X3 ticks so many boxes as a portable device alongside my other reading options. ๐ฑ๐

You now get four times more battery than the previous generation, giving you ten days on a full charge. The X3 still edges it out slightly, up to 14 days, but with the general improvements Xteink have made on the X4 Classic, losing those four days doesn't feel like the end of the world. Charging is easy too, with a USB-C accessory that fits most cables you probably already have. The light turns red while charging and white once it's full, on both the X3 and X4 Classic. ๐๐ฑ

What's genuinely impressive is that it's actually thinner than the X3, at just 4.9mm. It keeps physical buttons rather than going with a touchscreen like the X4 Pro, and I think buttons work better on mini e-readers anyway, less risk of touchscreen issues, and there's something comforting about physical page turns. The buttons are mostly the same as the X3 and previous X4, though the power button shifts to the side and the reset button moves to the opposite side at the top. The micro SD card stays in the same place, useful if you prefer adding content via computer. ๐ฑ๐

After discontinuing the original X4, it looked like that would be the end of the model. Instead, they've released the upgraded X4 Classic. It has a 4.3 inch display, larger than the X3's 3.7 inch, making reading feel more comfortable. But the X4's display is 219 PPI, lower than the X3's 259 and a Paperwhite's 300, meaning you get a sharper reading experience on those other devices. That's one reason I still prefer the X3. One thing missing from the X4 Classic that the X4 Pro does have is a backlit display, so you'll need good lighting to read, just like the X3. ๐ฑ๐

This mini e-reader is clearly going to take some of the market, especially if you're buying your first device or want a solitary reading solution. But Xteink themselves don't see it as a replacement for your Kindle or Kobo, they see it as a companion, a portable option for when carrying something smaller makes sense. I agree. It's not replacing my Kindle, there's still something special about a larger display. At $69, it's achievable enough to become part of my reading setup, working with my Kindle, not against it. ๐โก

One way it achieves this is the companion app, connecting your smartphone and your X3 over the same internet connection. It's a genuine goldmine of customisation, at times overwhelming. Import books and comics straight to your device in Cloud Transfer mode, create your own displays and widgets, and there are wallpapers worth downloading too. ๐ฑ๐

It's small enough to be a genuinely portable reading option, and if your phone has a magnetic surface, the X3 can snap straight onto the back of it.

Anything from 2012 or earlier is essentially useless now, including the Kindle Fire tablet, you won't be able to connect to the Amazon store at all. Between 2013 and 2022, devices will work and connect fine, but updates are starting to slow and some newer software isn't available on them.

(And Who Its Actually For)Charlie Samways2026-07-30 | The Boox Palma 2 Pro isn't a smartphone and it isn't an e-reader. It runs Android 15, so technically it can do everything a phone can do, just significantly slower, because it's all happening on an e-ink screen. That's entirely by design. It uses the same Kaleido 3 colour display technology as the Kindle Colorsoft and Kobo Clara Colour. The idea is genuinely compelling: same apps, same operating system, but a screen that makes everything that isn't reading feel like a chore. Whether the reality matches that idea is a different question. ๐ฑ๐ฟ

Buying a used Kindle can be a genuinely cost-effective way to get a great device, but it can turn into a real headache if you don't know exactly what to check first. In this video, I go through everything you need to know before you buy, including a cutoff point most listings won't mention, and the full checklist to run through once it actually arrives.
SECOND HAND CHECKLIST WHERE TO BUY - Buy from an established platform: Amazon, eBay, Vinted - Check the return policy before you buy - Ask about warranty status - Consider Amazon Certified Refurbished Kindles
THINGS TO CONSIDER - Avoid devices from 2012 or earlier, no Kindle Store access - Be aware devices from 2013 to 2022 may not receive the latest software updates - Confirm the device is deregistered before buying - Check listing photos closely for screen marks, burn in, or haziness - Search online for the expected battery life of the specific model - Read the full product description for any disclosed issues
WHEN IT ARRIVES - Log into your own Amazon account and confirm it registers properly - Connect to wifi and confirm the connection stays stable - Download a book to confirm Kindle Store access is working - Open a book and turn several pages, checking closely for ghosting - Check for a pending software update and let it install - Test the front lights on the display work properly - Press any physical buttons the model has - Plug in and confirm the charging port works - Charge to 100% and monitor how quickly the battery depletes over the following days

Heres Why Thats Good.Charlie Samways2026-07-29 | In the first week, I was mostly frustrated by how slow the Boox Palma 2 Pro could be. By the second week, I realised that was the point. There are days when you don't want the urgency that comes from your phone, and the Boox gave me that in a way no other device has before. Once the apps are set up properly, reading and listening on this screen is a genuinely different experience to doing it on a phone. The e-ink feels intentional in a way an LCD screen doesn't. You're not doing twelve things. You're reading. ๐ฑ๐ฟ

At 150 PPI it isn't as sharp as a Paperwhite, but during an extended reading session I actually stopped noticing the difference. What I noticed instead was that the screen doesn't emit blue light the way a backlit phone or tablet does, which makes evening reading genuinely comfortable. That mattered more than I expected it to. ๐ฑ๐

But how often do you actually use it? I'm putting it to the test to find out whether it's a genuinely useful setting or one that's quietly pointless for most readers. ๐๐

That's a genuine trade-off of the Kaleido color layer sitting on top of the panel. But whether that trade-off actually matters depends entirely on what you use the device for. If you're reading comics, magazines or travel books, or writing and annotating in color, the trade-off earns its place. If you're not, it might not be worth it. ๐จ๐ #kindlescribecolorsoft #kindlescribe #kindle #kindlecolorsoft #amazon #ereader #digitalnotebook #kindlereview #intentionaltech #einktabletThe Kindle Scribe Colorsoft Truth Nobody MentionsCharlie Samways2026-07-15 | The Kindle Scribe Colorsoft costs more than the standard Scribe, but the extra money isn't buying you a more capable device. It's buying you colour. Same core experience, same writing feel, same fundamentals. The premium is purely for what you see on screen, not what the device can do. Worth knowing before you decide which one to buy. ๐จ๐

It turns out that was completely unnecessary. Most Kindle books take up a fraction of the storage you would expect, which means there is no good reason to keep them in the cloud instead of on your device. Download everything and read anything, even without WiFi. ๐

The actual ideas could fit in half the pages. Speed reading lets you cut through the repetition and filler and get straight to what the book is actually about, without wasting time going over the same concepts repeatedly. This is reason one of why everyone should learn to speed read. #speedreading #kindletips #kindle #reading #booktok #nonfiction #readingskills #readfaster #readmorebooks #intentionaltechSet Up Send to Kindle in 2 Minutes.
