Read your PDFs on a pocket-sized Xteink

The Xteink X4 is small enough to stick on the back of a phone, and far too small for a printed page. Convert the book to EPUB first, and it reflows to the 4.3-inch screen in the font size you choose.

From scan to e-reader

A scanned page of The Great Gatsby next to the same text as a reflowable EPUB on an e-reader, in small caps and with the chapter number
The Great Gatsby (1925), a scan from the Internet Archive (public domain), converted by RifflePages.

A 4.3-inch screen needs text that reflows

A PDF keeps the shape of a printed page. Shrunk to the Xteink's 4.3-inch screen, that page becomes a block of tiny text, even where the PDF opens at all.

An EPUB has no fixed page: the text wraps to the screen, so a book reads as comfortably on the Xteink as on a bigger e-reader, with fewer words on each page.

Made to read well on the Xteink

The Xteink's own software reads simple EPUBs best. RifflePages writes clean ones: running heads and page numbers removed, paragraphs joined across pages, and decorated first letters (drop caps) joined back into their word, where the stock software would otherwise lose the sentence.

Chapters go into the table of contents, so the Xteink's chapter list works, and a scanned PDF goes through OCR first, so even an old scan becomes real text.

Questions

Can't I just read the PDF on the Xteink?

PDF pages don't fit a 4.3-inch screen: even where a PDF opens, its text is too small to read without zooming. EPUB is the format the Xteink is made for.

Does it work on the X4 Pro?

Yes. The EPUB is the same for every Xteink: copy it to the microSD card, or use the X4 Pro's Wi-Fi transfer.

My PDF is a scan. Will it work?

Yes: scanned pages go through OCR. Check the free preview first: what you see is what you get.

What does it cost?

The preview of the first 8 pages is free. The full EPUB is one fixed price per book, shown below. There's no subscription.
