Hi, this is Hong from Malaysia.
I have been using my very first ebook, made by Taiwan 7 years ago. I enjoyed reading using ebook whenever I travelled (I used to travel for business). As the method of making ebook from was tedious, I stopped using the unit after 5 years and in 2006 I started to use Hanlin V8. As a heavy user of eBook, which I deem as a replacement gadget for Computer (not centional books!), I would say Hanlin is the best so far, especially for someone like me who can read Chinese (S & T), English and even Malay / Indonesia langauage! Many ebook reader, especially from US/Europe cannot support chinese characters, which is a great disadvantage!

I have made a deal with Jinke and will start selling V3 in Malaysia and Singapore very soon! Price is pretty attractive as Malaysian and Singaporean Chinese like reading! eBooks are equally useful to load religion books as well as Al-Quran and Bible which are so convenient for Ustaz and Priest to share their views in the mosque and church.

I forsee the very strong market in South East Asia and China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The only set back is lack of promotion and lack of confidence in Hanlin eBook. Hanlin needs more promotion to portray strong image of New China with High Quality Products - it is going and definitely going to replace many "un-user friendly" products from US/Europe. Sony is only interested in USA.

From the forum, I can see many "potential user (NOT buyer)" lost their focus when planning to buy ebook reader. eBook reader means for READING BOOKS in a much more convenient way, light-weight, cheaper (in the long run),....I will share more in our website in future on how to convince yourself to buy the best ebook, such as Hanlin. Remember, SIMPLE is the best! (when it becomes complicated, many user confused and cannot afford the high price; this is what Steve Jobs tries to share with us before)

Happy reading!

Hong
