eReader from China, suggestions?

spaze · 03-17-2011, 12:06 PM

Hello,

My father is on a trip in China and I was thinking he could get me an eReader from there.

Any suggestions which one I should get? I prefer 5" display and please don't recommend Kindle, trying to stay away from that device.

I've been thinking about Hanlin V5, what do you say?

I thought the kindle was 6in? and I didn't realize the kindle had a big presence in china.

Either way, don't want Kindle

It is 6", and I doubt it has a large presence in China. But I guess it's important to declare your hatred early and loudly.

Can't buy a K3 direct in China, but they do love it as they can access Facebook and other 'banned' sites via the browser!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dg-iIapxwjc might interest you, or http://en.smartdevices.com.cn/ has a number of units. The q5 and q7 are good units but all are more than ereaders. The Wits is android 2.2 and the q series are mostly androd 2.1 both of which have several readers available including Barnes and Noble and kindle for android.

The service on the q series is non-existent, don't know how it is on the wits.
