Product & engineering
Understand the product.
An e-reader, also called an e-book reader or e-book device, is a mobile electronic device that is designed primarily for the purpose of reading digital e-books and periodicals.
Any device that can display text on a screen may act as an e-reader, but specialized e-reader designs may optimize portability, readability (especially in sunlight), and battery life for this purpose. A single e-reader is capable of holding the digital equivalent of hundreds of printed texts with no added bulk or measurable mass.
This report will cover the production and revenue by manufacturer of e-reader as well as the specs from the OEM terminal. The investigated e-readers are based on E-ink and low cost TFT LCD technology with price spanning from 20 USD to over 300 USD.
