Ebooks at CES - pt 2

For the second post in this series I'm going to focus solely on Chinese companies. (There are times that it seems like half of all tech startups in the world are from China.)

Onyx
They'll be exhibiting the Boox 60. I've reviewed it elsewhere and it's a very good device.

Jinke
This is the company that makes the Hanlin V3 & V5 ereaders, which you might know as the Bebook, EZReader, Walkbook, or LBook. Until Amazon took the Kindle international this was the company with the most widely available products.

Daza
This is Chinese manufacturer of consumer electronics. They have a new liseuse on their website, but I'm still waiting to hear if it will be at CES.

Hivision
This is another Chinese manufacturer of consumer electronics, who also has
a 6" e-reader on their website. I'm still waiting to hear if it will be at CES.

Aigo
This company just came to my attention this morning. Unlike the 2 I just mentioned, Aigo is already shipping their PB6301 ereader. Once again, I'm still waiting to hear if it will be at CES.

Hanwang
If you live in Europe you might have seen on of this company's products. In the past 6 months they've picked up several distributors in GB, Germany, and the low countries. Their listing says that they'll have 4 e-readers on display.

Gajah

This is the manufacturer of the Oaxis ebook reader. I'm told they plan to have 2 models on display.

Shenzhen Leadfar
According to the website they have several education products that may or may not be ebook readers. I'm relying on Google to translate for me, and this is one that I'm not sure about. Still, it's worth a visit.

Brother Update
I heard back from Brother PR: At this time, only the sewing machine division is exhibiting at CES, darn it. But they did promise to try to forward my request.
