For the time being, the e-reader still has some advantages. For example, the protection of eyesight is better than other electronic products. This is because the e-reader does not flicker and will not hurt the eyes. Using an LCD screen for a long time will make the eyes tired because the light is too strong.
Moreover, with the display technology of this e-reader, there wouldn't be any reflection under strong light, so it would be more convenient to read outdoors.
Also, this product does not have any radiation and is safer and healthier than other electronic products.
When the e-reader page is in one spot, it does not consume any battery, and it can be used for a longer period of time.
In Feng Yu's previous life, there are many billboards in the streets and alleys. These billboards are using this e-ink and e-paper technology. It might look bright, but it does not consume any battery, and it can be seen clearly from a 180 degree angle.
Another very important point was that the cost of electronic paper was much cheaper than LCD screens. For the same 10-inch screen, the cost of an LCD screen is 100 USD more than e-paper!
That's why Feng Yu felt this product has an advantage. Also, Sony's e-reader flopped two years ago is because Sony does not have many e-reader copyrights. There are too few e-reader copyrights, and there are too few choices for the users.
Amazon does not have this problem. Amazon owns a large number of e-reader copyrights, and Hua Xia's electronic copyrights market is also booming. Some websites had already converted some public books into e-books for the users to download.
Feng Yu also supports Amazon to introduce e-readers. Wind & Rain Electronics has a lot of 128MB and 256MB flash drives in stock.
Most people prefer bigger flash drives, and they have a lot of these small capacity flash drives in stock. Feng Yu can sell them off now.
When Sony introduced the e-reader first, Jiang Wanmeng said he will introduce it immediately. But Feng Yu rejected the e-reader after it was produced.
The functions are too poor, and the e-reader is bulky.
Wind & Rain Electronics had always introduced high quality products. How can they produce such inferior products? At that time, there are not many e-readers, and they are focusing on MP3 players. That's why they gave up.
But now, many technologies have improved, and other conditions have matured. The MP4 (Super MP3) in China has also entered a bottleneck. This e-reader is a good choice.
Also, using Amazon's brand will increase the sales of this product. This will increase Amazon's e-book sales and Qidian Chinese Network's e-reading sales.
Another important factor is to suppress Sony after this product is introduced. Feng Yu is sure that Sony is also preparing a second generation of e-readers.
Feng Yu called Jiang Wanmeng personally and asked him how long it will take for the E-reader project to be relaunched.
Jiang Wanmeng told Feng Yu a piece of good news. One month. With Aiwa Electronics, they will be able to produce mature products within a month. This is because e-readers are similar to MP3 players and tablets in many aspects. Some software can be used directly, and the operating system is easier.
After changing the HOS system slightly, it could be placed on the electric book. He guaranteed that there would be no problems. He had talked to Lei Jun about this before.
Feng Yu is pleased to be able to introduce a product within a month. He told Jiang Wanmeng to produce the samples immediately and will release it under multiple brands to the rest of the world. They must capture this huge market share!
Jeff Bezos is excited when he knows they can produce the samples within a month. He immediately increases the number of e-readers and starts to produce audio novels.
Qidian, which is also informed by Jeff Bezos, also started to produce audio novels and purchase the electronic copyrights.
Qidian also planned to use this opportunity to introduce their own e-books and expand the e-reading industry. With the reputation of being the biggest e-reading originator, they felt that the e-books with Qidian's logo would sell well.
Feng Yu agreed to all these. With one product as the core, they can develop other products. This is a normal business approach, and Qidian's staff is very business-minded.
Japan's Aiwa had also started to prepare. In Europe, Philips, Thomson, etc. are also preparing to release e-readers in different languages. Although English and Chinese can take over the majority of the market, it is not enough.
Feng Yu had also asked Taihua Holdings to contact Lenovo Kingsoft's partners. Through them, Feng Yu will acquire some local e-book download websites and provide e-readers with different languages.
Feng Yu made another request. This e-reader must be able to access the internet. This will allow people to download e-readers over the wireless network instead of using a PC.
For this, Feng Yu must install a wireless network card inside the e-reader. Luckily, Aiwa Electronics said it is not a problem, and it can be implemented with some modifications to the mobile phone's technology.
Before the prototype of the e-reader is produced, Amazon's actions had attracted many people's attention.
Although Amazon is the world's biggest e-book seller, it is not the only one. There are many similar companies around the world. Of course, these companies are much smaller than Amazon.
Some of the companies realized Amazon is going to do something big. Is it only for MP3 players to download and read? But many people complained that the screen is too small, and it is tiring to the eyes.
Only Sony reacted. They contacted their partner, E-Ink, and found out that two companies had bought E-Ink's e-paper and e-ink technologies. These two companies are Wind and Rain Holdings and Taihua Holdings.
Sony immediately knows that Feng Yu is going to enter the e-reader industry. This is the industry that Sony started. Although Amazon is the one who suggested this, Sony is the first company to develop this industry.
Sony had wanted to introduce the new generation of e-readers at the end of the year. But now, they decided to introduce it as soon as possible before the third quarter. They must not let Feng Yu get ahead of them again.
Jeff Bezos held a press conference to announce to the world that Amazon will be producing an e-reader to provide a better reading experience for their users.
When this news broke out, many media were shocked. Is Amazon going to enter the hardware industry?
This product Jeff Bezos is talking about should be an electronic product. Amazon's technology in this area is so advanced?
Sony immediately held a press conference to announce their second generation e-reader will be introduced before the third quarter of this year. Suddenly, the world's attention on e-readers reaches new heights!
