# CrossPoint Reader ++
|
|
|
|
This firmware is based on the [crosspoint-reader](https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader) for the XTEINK X4, a great piece of software by Dave Allie and others
|
|
|
|
# Why this fork
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately the official repository suffers from too many good ideas floating around and a lack of clear governance how to deal
|
|
with these contributions, so it's lacking fundamental fixes for a proper reading experience (rendering issues, sub-par sync
|
|
capabilities with KOReader, a popular multi-platform open-source epub reader).
|
|
|
|
Trying to contribute enhancements / fixes became increasingly difficult as the lack of progress effectively prevented further development.
|
|
|
|
Therefore this branch focuses on real fixes and real improvements while trying to keep up to pace with developments in the main branch.
