The $70 E-Reader That Puts Silicon Valley to Shame

Tiny $70 Xteink X3 e-reader puts Silicon Valley to shame

The Atlantic's Saahil Desai spent 10 hours reading Robert Caro's 'The Power Broker' on the Xteink X3, a $70 e-reader the size of a credit card that magnetically attaches to the back of an iPhone. Despite its cheap, AI-slop-sounding brand and Temu origins, the device has become a favorite among TikTokers and YouTubers, and Desai argues it's the best piece of technology in years, shaming the overpriced gadgets of Silicon Valley.
