With the dropping of temperatures, the desire to stay warm in our home walls seems to increase more and more. But not everyone likes to stick to a smartphone or TV and as always there is another option: to read. Xiaomi knows this and that's why it has just anticipated a new ebook reader that will be officially launched in China on November 20.
Xiaomi: The first eBook Reader of the brand coming 20 November day
The Xiaomi Multi-View Ebook Reader is the first device of this type developed by our favorite brand and in collaboration with the Chinese company Multi-View. The product had already been anticipated about a year ago by the general manager of the Xiaomi Smart Hardware department, Tang Mu, and by the senior product director Li Chuangqi. Who had announced that Xiaomi was working to bring an alternative to the Amazon Kindle and after about 1 year of work the time seems to have come.
So Xiaomi could finally end Amazon's dominance in this sector, bringing a quality eReader with an ultra competitive price. This thanks to the know-how of the Multi-View brand.
The Multi-View company, founded in China in the 2010, was actually acquired by Xiaomi in the 2012 becoming a member of the huge Xiaomi brand ecosystem. The manufacturer has in his arsenal several very interesting features that we will most likely find on the new Xiaomi eBook reader. These could include a new typography system, a PDF reorganization system, a gallery mode, automatic page rotation, voice reading, an eye protection mode and many other features loved by readers.
Unfortunately, at the moment we do not have a complete picture of all the device specifications, not even the price. We will have to wait for the official 20 November presentation to learn more details.

While I was keen to get this device, I have been bogged down by its Chinese interface and desperately need to flash English ROM. I understand that it has been marketed in USA so there must be English ROM available and certainly a way to flash it
