Last year in May, Xiaomi launched a new e-reader called Duokan Pro II in the Chinese market with an aim to compete with the popular Amazon Kindle. The device was introduced with a large E-ink display, up to 6 weeks of standby, and a quad-core chipset. Now after almost a year, Xiaomi’s Duokan Pro II E-reader can be purchased in the global market as well. Here are the details.
Interested shoppers can now buy Xiaomi’s latest e-reader—the Duokan Pro II— through e-commerce website Good e-Reader for $299.99. The price of the device is significantly higher than its cost in China, where Xiaomi sells it for 1,299 Yuan, which is equivalent to $188. However, when purchasing the device from Good e-Reader, it is important to note that there is an additional charge of $29.99 for shipping.
To recall, the reader tablet comes with a 7.8-inch flat E-ink display offering a resolution of 1872 x 1404 pixels. The panel has a 300 PPI screen density and a 24-level cold and warm two-color reading light. Design-wise, the e-book reader looks slim with a thickness of 7mm and weighs 250 grams.
