E-Ink forges fresh alliances in non-English speaking regions
In the ever-evolving world of technology, one company stands out as a pioneer in the realm of papermaking and printing – E-Ink Holdings. Based in Taiwan, this global leader boasts expertise in TFT and ePaper technology, making it a key player in the e-reader market.
E-Ink Holdings has made strategic moves to capitalise on the growing popularity of e-readers worldwide. It has partnered with Shanda Interactive Entertainment, one of the top 3 publishing companies in China, to produce e-readers. Shanda Interactive Entertainment, known for its focus on online serial novels, adds about 1 million words to their library daily.
In an effort to tap into the non-English markets, E-Ink Holdings has also collaborated with a yet-to-be-named Russian company to produce e-readers. This move is a testament to the company's commitment to making e-readers accessible to a global audience.
The company's expansive reach is further demonstrated by its partnership with Acer for the Lumiread e-Reader in English markets. E-Ink Holdings has also acquired E Ink Corp, the worldwide leader in ePaper, making it the world's largest supplier of displays to the eBook market.
E-Ink displays can be found in many popular e-readers, including the Kindle and Sony's line of electronic readers. This widespread adoption underscores the quality and reliability of E-Ink's technology.
Interestingly, a subsidiary of Shanda Interactive Entertainment recently launched an e-reader priced at 99 yuan ($14.86 US), which sold out of its initial 3000 units in just 3 days. This rapid success suggests a growing demand for affordable and accessible e-readers in China.
