Still using the XTEink X4

In late March, I wrote that I'd acquired a tiny, nearly credit-card-sized e-reader and had been regularly using it. I still am! Several months later, it remains in the main bag I use when I leave the house, and I use it most days of the week. I've since used it to read numerous old mystery novels (as research for a project) completely comfortably. I recently kicked off reading a bunch of communist theory... also as research for a project. Much of my "job" right now is reading, so it's good to have an e-reader. It was definitely successful at getting me to adjust my overall behavior and include more reading time in my day. I imagine that I would have done this even if I had bought a more conventional e-reader... but it definitely helps that the XTEink is so small. It's easier to read on the train than my phone, basically. I can stick it directly in my pocket without having to power it down or worry about accidentally triggering a touchscreen. I did make one additional self-indulgent…
