Field notes
The page gives model-specific output details, including the Xteink X4's 480 × 800 resolution, four grayscale levels, and BMP format. Its instructions explain where to copy the file and how to choose a custom sleep screen; an option for other readers accepts manually entered pixel dimensions. Background removal is described as running on-device after a one-time 59 MB download.
