It&#8217;s a tiny E-Ink e-reader that can stick to the back of your phone magnetically, adding a fun new twist to the reading experience.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it&#8217;s not going to be for everyone, but we thought its sibling, the X4 was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/trick-turned-e-reader-into-a-must-buy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">a must-buy<\/a>. While the X3 is pretty bare bones, it does get the job done, and does it very well.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the price is really where things come together, coming in at a very reasonable $63 right now. <\/p>\n<p>                        Try it, you might like it<\/p>\n<p>This is a 3.7-inch E-Ink e-reader that has physical buttons on the front for navigation. And it has an extremely thin and lightweight design, measuring in at just 5.1mm thin and 58 grams. <\/p>\n<p>While it is meant to read books, you can also display images on the screen, along with a clock, and more. The best part is that it can magnetically attach to the rear of your phone, making it all feel seamless. <\/p>\n<p>Although there is 16GB of internal storage, you can always add more using a microSD card. It can even act as an NFC card to allow you to gain access to places you frequently go. For the most part, we think you&#8217;ll like it. <\/p>\n<p>Just be sure to buy it quickly because this deal won&#8217;t be around for long. If you&#8217;re looking for a slightly larger screen, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/i-tried-the-tiny-magnetic-e-reader-and-its-a-bit-surprising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X4 is also a very good choice<\/a> as well. <\/p>\n<p>        <img width=\"420\" height=\"420\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\" XTEINK X3 eBook Reader\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/draft-photoroom.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/draft-photoroom.png\" class=\"img-brightness-opt-out\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tStorage \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t16GB<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tScreen Size \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t3.7-inch<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tBattery \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUp to 10 hours<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tWeight \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t58g<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tDimensions \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t5.1mm<\/p>\n<p class=\"display-card-description override\">The E-Ink screen everyone was talking about just a couple of months ago is now down to a new low price, making it a great time to pick it up if you&#8217;re looking to experiment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We&#8217;ve seen plenty of e-reader stories come up over the past year, but nothing tops the release of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":536669,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[61,60,80],"class_list":["post-536668","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/536668","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=536668"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/536668\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/536669"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=536668"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=536668"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=536668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
