Xiaomi might be developing an e-reader

November 22, 2018 By Michael Kozlowski 3 Comments

Xiaomi developed a prototype e-reader last year and it was shelved as the company started to focus on smart home accessories. It looks like they might be doing something e-reader related sometime in 2019, as they are trying to work out publishing deals, so they can sell ebooks right on the device.

Many executives a Xiaomi have responded recently on various forums and Twitter threads, verifying that they have plans for an e-reader. In the past few years the company has strengthened their sales and marketing teams all over the world and they have a recognizable brand.

Xiaomi is no stranger to E Ink products. They have released a few products over the years, such as a Digital Thermometer Hygrometer. An e-reader would make sense, as the industry has made a comeback in the past twelve months and sales are booming for everyone involved.

One of the added benefits of creating an ebook ecosystem is that they could create Android e-reading software and a retail experience for all of their phones, which would lead to increased monetization.

    If Xiaomi goes beyond the e-paper prototype, an obvious product will be an e-paper smartphone

    God bless China for making affordable electronics. The best part is that these days, the product quality is pretty good, too. I’ve a few devices from over there and they function very well. You get some duds occasionally, too. Oh well, go Xiaomi! I’ve their Mi Max 1 and it is still a very dependable phablet.
