What BBN said about it

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe Xteink X4 Pro is a tiny e-reader with a 4.26-inch screen, smaller and thinner than Amazon's smallest six-inch Kindle, and it's cheaper than ever.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIt snaps onto the back of a phone with a magnet. That's a book that clings to you, and I respect the commitment.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe screen is eight hundred by four eighty, so you get a paragraph at a time, and your thumb does the rest.

Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentBut it works, and the battery doesn't care.
