Chapter 1552 Electronic Paper Books (Subscription Request)

After breakfast, Feng Yu took a break before going to Amazon.

When he arrived at the company, Feng Yu went directly to Bezos' office. Bezos saw Feng Yu and immediately stood up, while still holding a thick file.

“Mr. Feng, you're finally here. Recently I had an idea that maybe Amazon could make a product that would change people's reading habits!” Bezos couldn't wait to say.

Feng Yu's eyebrows picked: “Products that change people's reading habits? You mean an electronic book? ”

Baezus' smile is stuck. What, how is that possible? He hasn't said it yet, how could Feng Yu have guessed at once?!

“Mr. Feng, how do you know?” Bezos looked shocked.

Feng Yuxin said that this is a very new thing to look at right now, but in previous life, it was nothing at all okay?

The real concept of e-books, or e-readers, in previous life, was introduced by Amazon. But the first to do it was Yuni, Philip, and E-INK. Feng Yu never thought of this, so he didn't warn me.

When Bezos said something about changing people's reading habits, Feng Yu remembered that it should be this electronic reader created by Amazon. And Philip didn't choose to work with Yuni either, so Yuni just made this product himself, and when he pushed it to the market, it sounded bad.

“Because of this thing, someone has already raised it in Huaxia. Maybe you don't know, Warsaw, a lot of novels are paid for on the Internet, which is not unusual. And this product, YANNI has already made it, not much has been sold in the island country, and user feedback is not very good. ”

Feng Yu didn't look too surprised, but he was very happy inside. The reason why YANNI's product was bad was because the E-INK technology wasn't good enough, but today, the technology is very good.

With this product, it's closer to the birth of a tablet, and it stimulates the consumption of e-reading, making him more money.

Of course, electronic reading is not yet possible, at least for a short time, to replace traditional paper-based reading. Many people still like to read with their hands, like the taste of paper, and not be unable to read it because of the lack of electricity.

Having heard Feng Yu say this, Bezos seems to have been hit hard. He thought he had come up with a brilliant idea, but he didn't know that the Huaxians had already thought of it, and that YANNI had already launched one.

“Mr. Feng, was it manufactured by Taihua Holdings? Is it manufactured by Rain Electronics or Lenovo Group? If you can license this technology to Amazon, we are the world's largest online bookseller, or you can remove the word web, this product will definitely sell better if it is trademarked by Amazon! ”

“Well, it's still under development, and it hasn't been made yet. What, Amazon's gonna do this? That sounds like a good idea.” Half of the research on Windstorm Electronics was abandoned, because they are now targeting tablets, and they think that this e-book will soon be replaced by tablets.

Bezos ecstatic: “So Mr. Feng agrees to let Amazon develop this product? ”

“Agree, why disagree. You're right, Amazon is the world's largest bookseller, and Amazon is really good at selling this product. However, if it is developed, it should work with other enterprises. ”

“By the way, you have a written plan, show it to me. ”

As soon as Feng Yu reached out, Bezos hurried to hand over the document to Feng Yu, who was also introducing the product he had imagined.

There is now a technology called electronic paper and electronic ink, a product that has been developed as an alternative to office paper.

So this product is quite different from a tablet, but it also has something in common. And of course, it can't be understood as an oversized MP3 because the technology used is different.

And Feng Yu looked at the design of the product and also owned a keyboard, like the one on the Black Rose phone, with many function buttons.

This product, compared to what Feng Yu had seen in his previous life, is still very different. None of the electronic paper books that Feng Yu had seen in his previous life have a full keyboard, just a few buttons.

Moreover, the memory of this e-book is not very large and the features are not very good. According to Belzos' vision, the ability to read e-books is sufficient, and the supported reading formats are limited. Only TXT and PDF are available. Belzos' idea is to develop an e-document reading format belonging to Amazon.

Feng Yu looked over and asked Bezos some questions before closing the paper.

“Bezos, the idea of this e-book is fine, but your idea is too restrictive. That's right, your design is 64M memory, enough to store hundreds of TXT-format e-books, but this is too small. I know you designed to support SD card extensions, but why not just make it bigger? ”

“Also, there are too few supported reading formats, you want to do your own electronic document reading format, which is OK, but the first thing to do is to be compatible with other reading formats. Microsoft formats, silver mountain formats, etc. ”

“With TXT alone, mobile phones can do it, and super MP3s can do it. You just zoom in on the screen and enhance the functionality. Why would anyone want to buy your product? ”

“E-books, not only can be seen with your eyes, but should also be heard with your ears. Like children, many of them are literate, but they don't like to read fairy tale books themselves, but rather like parents telling them. So why can't there be a listening model for this e-book? ”

“Now that there's listening, there's recording mode where parents can record stories for their children. So this product has to have a headphone jack or even a microphone. ”

“It's also important that you say this product is lighter than a normal book, but you've designed so many buttons that it's completely superfluous, why not just use touch screen technology? Didn't you have a pen? Just a few simple function keys are enough, like the Storm smartphone series, to get rid of so many keys that the screen can be bigger, the fuselage can be smaller and lighter. ”

“If you want this product to replace a book, then you need to have the cover of a normal book, so this also shows beautiful book cover images, or illustrations of novels, so this product needs to be able to read pictures, images in multiple formats. ”

“In terms of reading time, this product saves more power than MP3, etc., but also consider reading time, preferably to keep turning over 10,000 pages in a row! ”

“I've made so many requests for the time being, and as long as they're all resolved, this product will definitely be a market favorite. If you want to do this, you can commission companies like Feng Yu Electronics to design research and development for Amazon. ”

“Really? That's great, this product will definitely allow us to sell Amazon ebooks and take the next step! ”
