Apparently this is not a Xiaomi product, nor did it just come out (there's lots of hand-on reviews from April, 2018 in China). According to a Xiaomi Reddit site, this iReader T6's only connection to Xiaomi is that it sold on Xiaomi Youpin e-Commerce Platform.

I can't help but notice how much it looks like my Tolino Vision 2. Also weighs about the same, is about the same thickness, width and highth and has the same CPU, memory and battery capacity as the Vision 4 (though it doesn't (or does it?) have "night mode").
After a doing a little more searching, I find that iReader released the A6 (which is basically the same size and specs as the T6) on March 27th of this year. The main addition was the ability to listen to audio (Bluetooth, plus some kind of wired headphones, "Type-C?" USB, I guess ... USB AND headphone jack are both Type-C). The English is rough and little hard to follow. It also appears to have warm and cool light. And it may have TTS to read books to you (confirmed).

I've got a feeling the iReader A6 was the one that was just announced, not the iReader T6.
Reading a little closer, I see the A6 is also waterproof. Also has a built-in speaker. Also can play music and record voice notes.
And you can add your own fonts. I wonder if they're going to sell these in the U.S.?
Good review (using Google Translate) and pictures here...

Looks closely related to the Tolino Vision 4 HD (but with extras).
Also seems to support bookshelves... though this Google translation is a little rough...

For local books, A6 has a very useful function, that is, you do not need to copy the e-book to a special directory, you can search and identify directly in the bookshelf, and also identify the self-built folder directory, when we copy the book The degree of freedom is mostly.

Apparently handles "real" PDF pretty well, but not "sewn together images" PDF...

When reading books in pdf format, due to the relationship between making and typesetting, some books will display too small fonts on the 6-inch screen. A6 has a "rearrangement" function, which can make the fonts become the appropriate size, one button to get ,very useful.
