  "summary": "The Verge reports that CrossPoint Reader, a free alternative firmware for Xteink's X3, X4, and X4 Pro e-readers, is now supporting third-party plug-ins. This development will enable the devices to access DRM-protected ebooks borrowed through OverDrive's Libby library app. The Verge notes that this is a significant improvement for Xteink's pocket-friendly e-readers, as they previously lacked easy access to ebooks, requiring users to source DRM-free titles independently.",
