All the other 10.x″ eink with notetaking are better. I expect them to go bust. Bigme also seem to be an also ran. Meebook is maybe 3rd after Onyx Boox and Pocketbook. Nook is too locked into B&N. Amazon is probably #1 by a big margin and they could put all the other ebook companies in a corner of a spare warehouse. Their eBooks have the bulk of English speaking market (over 90%) and less than half read on eink. And that is a tiny compared to their online sales and marketplaces, which is a like a lemonade stand or boot sale compare to Amazon data services. Kobo is part of Rakuten, a large Japanese outfit. Onyx (China), Pocketbook (Ukrainian/Swiss), Meebook (China), Bigme (China) and reMarkable (PDF note tablet, not an ereader. Scandinavia) are all ereader only companies. Barnes&Noble/Waterstones is a bricks and mortar book retailer with a ereader. The E ink Corp focus these days seems to be on retail systems, signage, advert displays etc and likely all the ereaders is now less that that (with #1 Qty being Amazon and #2 Kobo). Colour eink using acep is competing with LCD based signage, not with LCD tablets, and attempts to compete with tablets are doomed. The eink succeeds as a smaller mono dedicated ereader for novels. Also ACeP color e-paper is unsuitable for an ereader, though someone else has so far failed to deliver. |
