The survey lasted for 2 months, on the market, including Hanwang, Kindle, Hanlin, Sony, IRex, Fu Xin (Foxit), paragraph 11, including brands such as domestic and international mainstream electronic (paper), readers were tested. Should be said that electronic (paper) reader is the most important digital publishing products, and placed the industry in upgrading the traditional publishing industry, the technological revolution of the earnest hope, but also the objective of such products there is good and bad quality, function Design Not humane, high prices and lack of content resources and other practical problems.

The test increased life time of testing, the test results from the show, supported formats, life time, use the function, the market price five aspects of electronic (paper) reader to the testing and evaluation. 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

International standard text formats such as PDF, TXT 11 models participating in testing the products direct reading rate of 100% in PDF format, the test compared to the first edition in 2008 to increase the proportion of direct reading of nearly 60%, while the other international standard formats such as DOC, EPUB, also has improved significantly, over 50%, which showed that the international standard text format is widely used in industry. 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.

Comparison of relative prices, domestic brands are too expensive

Domestic product prices from the perspective of the anti Reader (M218C +), Foxit eSlickFE-01, Imperial V5, Hanlin V3, Hanwang D21, Hanwang N518 of the market price were 1,399 yuan, 1,800 yuan, 1,900 yuan , 2200 yuan, 2580 yuan, 2980 yuan, and 13,843 yuan of national income per capita compared to the price too high. And several foreign products are IRexDR1000S-XW-GR higher prices, about 5,916 yuan (870 U.S. dollars), SonyPRS-300, Sony PRS-600, Kindleglobal, KindleDX converted into RMB in the price of 1,360 yuan (199.99 U.S. dollars) , 2040 yuan (299.99 U.S. dollars), 1,761 yuan (259 dollars), 3,325 yuan (489 U.S. dollars) and its tens of thousands of dollars compared to the national per capita income, relative prices than the price of domestic brands are much lower.
