<p>I got an X3 the other week when it was on sale for €50. Been enjoying it for "read anywhere" as I can always carry it on me unlike my Kobo Clara BW.<p>I sideloaded the Amazon Kindle fonts (Bookerly and Ember) and a few others using the builder at <a href="https://crosspointreader.com/fonts" rel="nofollow">https://crosspointreader.com/fonts</a> obviously you need to be running CrossPoint to load the fonts so have that flashed on first.<p>You can download the Kindle fonts from <a href="https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/alexa/branding/echo-guidelines/identity-guidelines/typography" rel="nofollow">https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/alexa/branding/echo-guide...</a> if you don't already have them.<p>That said the Clara BW is still my <i>preferred</i> e-reader as I find the larger screen better for longer reading sessions however you really can't beat having a tiny 3.7" e-reader with you <i>everywhere</i>. All those "micro waits" at places and I can read a few pages or even a chapter of a book rather than using my phone for nonsense stuff.<p>Another tweak I do is use the ePub optimiser at <a href="https://inky.crossink.dev" rel="nofollow">https://inky.crossink.dev</a> to give me more "friendly" ePub files for the X3. I didn't have any issue with my regular ePubs but this optimised ones open faster and do look a bit nicer overall so it is worth the few minutes it takes to optimise all your books IMHO.</p>
