After breakfast, Feng Yu rested for a while before going to Amazon.
Feng Yu went straight to Jeff Bezos' office. Jeff Bezos saw Feng Yu and stood up with a thick stack of documents in his hands.
"Mr Feng, you are finally here. I have an idea recently. Maybe Amazon can develop a product that can change people's reading habits! "Jeff Bezos said excitedly.
Feng Yu raised his brows. "A product that can change people's reading habits? You are talking about e-readers? "
Jeff Bezos' smile froze. What? How is this possible? He had not even said anything, and Feng Yu guessed it so quickly?!
"Mr Feng, how … how did you know?" Jeff Bezos was shocked.
Feng Yu said this might be a new product now, but in his previous life, this is not considered a good product.
In Feng Yu's previous life, Amazon was the one who came up with the concept of e-readers. But Sony, Philips, and E-Ink were the first to develop e-readers. Feng Yu did not expect this to happen and did not remind Jeff Bezos.
When Jeff Bezos mentioned a product that can change people's reading habits, Feng Yu remembered it should be Amazon's e-reader. In this life, Philips did not cooperate with Sony, and Sony had developed this product themselves. But after it was introduced to the market, the response was not good.
"It's because someone from Hua Xia's side had suggested this product. Maybe you don't know, but many of Hua Xia's novels are available online. This is nothing unusual. Also, Sony had already developed this product, but it had not sold a lot in Japan, and the feedback from the users is not good. "
Feng Yu pretended to be surprised, but he was overjoyed in his heart. Sony's product was not good in the past because their E-Ink technology was not good enough. But now, this technology is very good.
With this product, he will be closer to the birth of the tablet computer. Also, this product can stimulate the consumption of electronic reading and earn more money for him.
Of course, it was impossible for electronic reading to replace traditional paper reading, at least not in the short term. Many people still preferred to hold books in their hands and read. They liked the smell of paper, and they would not be unable to read just because there was no electricity.
Hearing Feng Yu's words, Bezos seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. Kirilenko thought he had come up with a brilliant idea. But Hua Xia had already thought of this idea, and Sony had already introduced one, and Kirilenko did not know about it.
"Mr Feng, is it manufactured by Taihua Holdings? Is it Wind & Rain Electronics or Lenovo Group? Can you license this technology to Amazon? We are the world's biggest online book distributor, or you can remove the word 'online'. If this product is branded with Amazon's logo, it will surely sell better! "
"Well, it's still under development. It hasn't been made yet. What? Is Amazon planning to do this? Now that you mention it, it does seem very appropriate. " Wind & Rain Electronics gave up halfway as they are focusing on tablets. They felt e-readers will soon be replaced by tablets.
Bezos was overjoyed. "So, Mr Feng, you agree to let Amazon develop this product?"
"Of course. Why not? What you said makes sense. Amazon is the world's biggest book distributor, and it will be good for Amazon to sell this product. But we should work with other companies to develop this product. "
"Oh, you are holding the proposal in your hands, right? Let me take a look."
Feng Yu stretched out his hand, and Bezos quickly passed the proposal to Feng Yu. At the same time, he introduced this product to Feng Yu.
Now there is such a technology called e-paper and e-ink, which is a product developed as a substitute for office paper.
That's why this product is different from a tablet PC, but there are some similarities. Of course, it cannot be treated as a super large MP3 player as the technologies used are different.
Feng Yu looked at the design of this product. There is a keyboard, similar to the Black Rose mobile phone's keyboard, and it has many functions.
This product is very different from the products Feng Yu had seen in his previous life. The e-readers Feng Yu had seen in his previous life do not even have a full keyboard. There are only a few buttons.
Also, this e-reader does not have a lot of storage, and there are not many functions. According to Jeff Bezos's plan, it is enough to read e-books, and the formats it supports are limited. There are only TXT and PDF. Jeff Bezos's idea is to develop an electronic document format that belongs to Amazon.
Feng Yu flipped through the documents and asked Jeff Bezos a few more questions before closing the file.
"Bezos, this e-reader idea is good, but your idea is too limited. That's right. This design has 64 MB of memory, and it can store hundreds of TXT e-books. But this is too small. I know you had designed it to support SD card expansion, but why don't you make it bigger? "
"Also, the number of supported reading formats is too little. You can develop your own electronic document format, but you must make it compatible with other reading formats. For example, Microsoft's format, Lenovo's Kingsoft's format, etc. "
"Cell phones and Super MP3 players can do the same format as TXT. You are only enlarging the screen and enhancing the functions. Why should people buy your product? "
"E-readers can not only read with our eyes, but we can also listen to our ears. It's just like children. Many of them are literate, but they do not like to read fairy tales by themselves. They prefer their parents to tell them stories. That's why this e-reader can't have a listening mode? "
"Since there is a listening mode, then there should be a recording mode for parents to record stories for their children. That's why this product must have a headphone jack and even a microphone. "
"Another important point. You mentioned that this product is lighter than ordinary e-books, but you designed so many buttons, and they are redundant. Why don't you use touch screen technology? Don't you have a pen? You only need a few simple buttons, and that's enough. Just like the Wind and rain smartphone series, they did not use too many buttons. The screen can be enlarged, and the body can be shrunk. It will be lighter. "
"If you want this product to replace books, then it must have a normal book cover. That's why this product must be able to display beautiful pictures of book covers or novel illustrations. That's why this product must be able to read pictures in different formats."
"This product will save more battery than MP3 players, but you must also consider the reading time. It will be best if it can read more than 10,000 pages consecutively!"
"That's all I have for now. If you can settle all my requirements, then this product will surely be popular in the market. If you want to do this, you can ask Wind & Rain Electronics or other companies to develop this product for Amazon. "
"Really? That's great! This product will bring Amazon's e-books sales to the next level! "
