Xiaomi‘s eco-chain enterprise Moaan has released the InkPalm Plus eBook reader which is an upgrade of last year’s InkPalm 5. It comes with a 5.84-inch screen and is powered by the Rockchip RK3566 processor. The new eBook reader has a 2:1 aspect ratio and a front-lit E-ink display for optimal reading. The Moaan InkPalm Plus is now available for pre-order in China via Jingdong (JD.com) for 1,099 yuan ($164).InkPalm Plus

The 5.84-inch front-lit display of the InkPalm Plus has 24 levels of brightness. It also supports color temperature adjustments. It uses an Android 11-based operating system and provides a variety of formats compatible with the device. The InkPalm Plus also supports many third-party Android apps including eReader applications. The Xiaomi InkPalm Plus eReader offers up to 30 days of battery life from its 2,200mAh battery. The battery is charged to 100% within 2.5 hours using a 5V charger.InkPalm Plus

The Rockchip RK3566 processor of the InkPalm Plus offers 2GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. While the InkPalm Plus reflects a significant improvement from its predecessor, it is still lacking in terms of its speed and storage capacity. There are lots of smaller eReaders but the InkPalm Plus could still appeal to a segment of the market. It is thinner, lighter, and a bit handier than some entry-level models from Amazon Kindle. The InkPalm Plus supports Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 5 connectivity and weighs just 0.14kg.InkPalm Plus

The Xiaomi InkPalm Plus is only available for pre-order in China at this time. Global availability may follow subsequently. It should however be noted that it may possibly ship with the Chinese version Android 11 interface which can be easily configured to English. This was the case with the InkPalm 5, although Xiaomi could provide a direct English version this time.
