In any case, the US won’t have the only interesting gadget market for 2012. I’ve had my hands on more Chinese ereaders and tablets than anyone, and I still haven’t seen a truly great one. But it also indicates an opportunity to offer the breakthrough product, a la the Kindle. The total Chinese ereader sales for Q2 2011 was estimated to be around 300k, which is paltry for the population. And then there’s the fact that it’s still not a huge market yet.

Either Hanvon is weaker than they appear, or the market is volatile, or it is simply growing at an explosive rate. Kobo says the Elipsa is an ereader first, but with a screen size of 10.3 inches and 383g in weight, it’s not quite as portable as traditional ereaders. Hanvon Europa This 13.3 inch e-note just came out at the end of 2020 and many people are not aware of its existence. Shanda’s market share suggests that there’s plenty of opportunity for DangDang. That means that they have hit 20% of the market in less than 18 months (Kobo eat your heart out). Shanda only got into ebooks last spring, and they only released their Bambook in August. They shipped about 100,000 units in December 2009, according to their 2010 CES press release, where they announced five new models for the US market (listed below). Hanvon, maker of various ereaders, and Shanda, maker of the Bambook, are estimated to have around 60% and 20% of the Chinese ereader market.īut I wouldn’t read too much into that detail, nor would I expect the stats to remain the same in a year. Hanvon is the major ebook reader brand in China, commanding 95 of the ereader market. The 2 dominant players in the Chinese ebook reader market both boast a million or more titles in their ebookstores, and they have hefty ereader market shares. I would say that DangDang has their work cut out for them. They’re also planning an ereader, but no details have been released. DangDang plans to have Android and iOS apps available at launch.
However the unit has only has a 5 inch screen, which would make note taking and typing difficult. The unit also has a small QWERTY keyboard and looks much like an Amazon Kindle.
This includes scribbling over the text of an e-book.
The ebookstore is due to open in Q1, and it will initially stock around 50 thousand titles from a number of domestic publishers, and they are working to sign more. The Hanvon WISEreader N526 eBook Reader allows for handwritten notes to be made on screen with a stylus. books, audio and so on, and starting later this month they will also be selling ebooks in the Chinese market. The retailer is already doing a brisk business in cosmetics, gadgets. DangDang, a Chinese counterpart to Amazon, announced last week that they were expanding into ebooks.
