Dan Moren [12]reviews the Xteink X3 at Six Colors:

    …it’s well positioned as an impulse buy. And while I don’t want to dissuade
    you, I have to note the biggest caveat of all: the world.

Amazon still dominates e-books too much. If Kindle was DRM-free, I would’ve
ordered an X3 already.

Calibre makes DRM removal quite easy nowadays.

To be completely honest, what I’ve been doing lately is buy digital/physical
copies of books and then find a DRM free copy online. As usual it’s a service
problem!
