I've been eyeing the Xteink Reader but cannot decide between the X4 (4.7" diag) and X3 (3.7" diag).

FWIW, the X3 requires a pogo pin cable, while the X4 requires a standard USB-C.

Anybody got any recommendations?

Thanks!

Go for the X4. Neither supports USB file transfer, so having USB-C charging is convenient without additional things to worry about. Bigger screen is also better if you're a fast reader. The faster you read, the more your reading speed is limited by the page turn speed.

I picked the X4 over X3 because the usb-c is convenient for charging (which you barely need to do)

I love it and use it every day.

    precisely, also, if you don't need to charge the device for weeks, months even, you're probably gonna lose the specialised cable.

    a usbc is so easy to come by, you're never going to have to wait for amazon to deliver the cable you need to charge this one device you own.

The X4. I always have a USB-C cable handy; so, i can charge it in the bedroom, at y desk, etc.
