Swerve from the usual content – I recently bought an Xteink X4 e-reader to replace the Kindle Keyboard that Amazon have cruelly torn from my grasp. It’s a nifty little thing, as small as you could possibly want an e-reader, pictured here with a bottle of Tabasco for scale:

I’ve installed the Crosspoint firmware on it which allows you to set custom sleep screens, so I ran a few holiday photos through Paint.NET to try out. I think they work pretty well so I wanted to share them for anyone looking for some interesting sleep screens. There are nine in total, of various bits of Tanzanian wildlife and scenary.









To make them work, place them in a directory named ‘sleep’ or ‘.sleep’ in the root of your SD card. Note that they are formatted for the X4 and won’t fit the screen shape of the Xteink X3.
