Kindle prices have bumped, but you can still save on this top Kindle alternative at Amazon

Amazon has recently increased prices for many of its own products, including a variety of Kindle models. This price hike phenomenon is tied to a term coined as "RAMageddon," which refers to AI-driven tech inflation. Despite this, one e-reader alternative that remains a strong contender is the XTEINK X3, currently on sale for $63.19 on Amazon, down from its original list price of $79—a 20% discount.

The XTEINK X3 is a compact device, weighing only 58 grams and featuring a 3.7-inch display, making it highly portable—so compact, it even fits into a wallet.

One of the standout features of the XTEINK X3 is its built-in MagSafe-compatible magnet, allowing it to attach to MagSafe devices, such as the back of a smartphone. This smart feature makes the e-reader not just a reading gadget but also a convenient one for tech enthusiasts. The device includes page-turning buttons for traditional navigation and an alternative shaking method to turn pages.

Although its display resolution is lower at 259 ppi, it's suitable for most reading needs, though those requiring larger text may want to consider other options.

The XTEINK X3 comes equipped with standard features like page-turning buttons and a unique shaking method to navigate through pages. Its battery life promises up to 10 hours of reading time per charge, ensuring long-lasting use. Considering the substantial savings—saving users $15.81 off the original price—the XTEINK X3 remains an attractive option for those seeking a reliable, versatile e-reader alternative to the Kindle.
