Xteink plans to bring back USB-C as an option for its tiny e-readers.

Xteink has shared an update on Reddit following backlash to its new X4 Classic e-reader that uses a proprietary magnetic pogo pin charging cable. While the company isn’t planning to abandon the pogo approach any time soon, it’s also “working toward bringing USB-C back as an option in future products.”
