Interpretation of test results
Ranking: domestic brands have obvious advantages
From a comprehensive ranking of view, domestic brands of electronic (paper) reader has a clear advantage. The top three, the domestic brands accounted for two seats, which ranks first in the domestic reader Hanwang D21, ranked third in the Long Yuan Reader (M218C +). It is worth noting, however, this test involves only comprehensive ranking display, supported formats, functions and life time of four categories of indicators, not including industrial design and resource platform, but also does not include market prices, then three in the electronic (paper ) reader Sell Has obvious influence.
To Kindle, for example, Kindle’s industrial design as a higher standard, also has extensive electronic resources in the Amazon, together with its mature business model, consumers still can not shake the position of the eyes. But if we consider the price factor of the anti Reader (M218C +) with its low-end strategy will perform better. In addition, even Kindle, do not have the electronic (paper), the core of the screen reader technology, but rather to purchase third-party technologies assembled into their products; the view from the domestic brands, Hanwang handwriting technology with independent intellectual property rights .
Use the feature, supported formats: domestic and foreign brands have different emphases
Domestic and foreign products will have different starting points to show their own characteristics: focus on a full-featured domestic brands, foreign brands focus on resource development and copyright protection.
In the first test, the foreign brands to support the format generally small, the main reason is similar to the Amazon Kindle this product has its own proprietary resource platform to promote their own e-book sales, but also for the protection of copyright, more emphasize the application of proprietary formats; domestic brands due to a hardware platform vendors and resources have often not one, so pay more attention to support for various formats. After a year of development, however, the number of domestic and foreign products in support of the format, the gap is narrowing, although the national advantage is still apparent, but foreign brands to support a substantial increase in the number format is still impressive, many of whom already have a proprietary product platform resources . In the domestic new generation of products, the proprietary format and has a DRM (Digital Rights Management ) Technology has certainly increased the number format, indicating manufacturers are beginning to realize copyright protection on the importance of this industry.
But in the present situation, still can not determine resources to build their own proprietary platforms and a variety of compatible formats only two hardware development model is superior.
E-ink display technology into an absolute dominant
A variety of display technologies compared to last year’s crowded, 2009 E-ink technology is almost dominated the entire electronic (paper) screen reader market. The test product, only 11 models a product of non-E-ink screen with high-precision static white TFT.
Widely used international standard, national standard has not yet formed

In Taiwan, the content is not yet form a unified format standard, although many kinds of proprietary text format, but more for the manufacturers themselves develop their own use, to be used was not high, even owns 80% of e-books resources Founder Apabi company, its format is only Hanwang 1 product support.
