Chapter 167 Double Book City

"The battery life of this e-paper book... seems a bit fierce? Look at the bottom line!"

"???"

Under the reminder of this netizen, many people also noticed the line of small characters directly below Stardust-Ink. The small characters of other manufacturers are used for notes and explanations, such as explaining a new concept.

Stardust Technology is completely different. Instead, they will hide some more important information in inconspicuous small words. This is the case now. The small words directly mention the battery life of Stardust-Ink:
"Under the premise of 8 hours of use without backlight/micro-backlight every day, the measured battery life of Stardust-Ink can reach 25 days. Under the premise of 24 hours of use per day, the battery life of Stardust-Ink can reach up to..."

"15 days!?"

"Woc! Is it true or not?"

"According to past experience, Stardust Technology has never exaggerated in product promotion. The battery life of the Stardust 3+ I bought is the same as the Stardust press conference. No, it is longer!"

"That is to say, after we buy Stardust-Ink, the battery life may be longer than 20 days? And who will read 24 hours a day? Let alone 24 hours, I can read 3 hours a day. "

"And it is also equipped with super fast USB charging. According to the actual measurement data of super fast charging, the battery of Stardust-Ink will definitely not exceed two hours, and then it can be used for a month at a time..."

"Hiss~ that would be scary!"

"And this is an ink screen! One of the characteristics of an ink screen is eye protection! In plain language, reading an ink screen is equivalent to reading a paper book directly. There is no blue light and no strobe. Do you understand?"

"I'm more looking forward to the quality of the ink screen in the Star Vision, because the kindle e-reader I have in my hand has poor clarity and wide borders, and the experience is really average..."

"But... the design of Stardust-Ink looks good! The border is narrow and the appearance is high. It really looks like an antique book when closed! If the price is right, I will really be tempted."

"There is a key problem, e-books and e-books... the book is the key! No matter how good the hardware is, if you open it, there is no book? Then what are you playing with?"

"Yup!"

Only then did many people realize that the so-called electronic paper books cannot be produced in China, and it is not a hardware problem at all. Even without Stardust Technology, other mobile phone manufacturers can easily produce similar products.

The fundamental reason is still in the "e-books". Consumers bought an e-reader with an ink screen. As a result, there are not many books available in the bookstore, and they have to download the electronic version by themselves and input it into the device.

The most important thing is that the input electronic version is not necessarily compatible with the product, sometimes there will be garbled characters, the steps are too cumbersome, and the experience is extremely poor.

But how could Stardust Technology not think of the problems they could think of?Relying on the size and influence of Stardust Technology in China, Chen Zifan pulled the major publishing houses over by himself.

Moreover, they have cooperated with Huaxin Bookstore. Of course, the premise is that Huaxin Bookstore must have an independent app. Chen Zifan also agreed. Even the app was developed by Stardust Network, but it doesn't matter.

There is no conflict between Stardust Reading and Huaxin Bookstore. It just so happens that Stardust-Ink can use the existing influence of Huaxin Bookstore to hype the popularity, increase product popularity, and take the electronic paper book market as its own.

Because Chen Zifan couldn't think of any brand in China that could compete with Stardust Technology and have the software and hardware advantages of Stardust Technology. When the shipment of Stardust-Ink was large enough, he could move on to the next step.

What Chen Zifan couldn't understand was that Huaxin Bookstore wanted to transform into an e-book store, but didn't want to take out all the resources at once. It might be because of the widespread distribution of offline stores at present, fearing that it would affect sales.

However, physical bookstores are destined to become more and more difficult to do. The small bookstores that used to be seen everywhere will be overwhelmed by online shopping in a short time. Only a few bookstores in a county or a city can survive.

Chen Zifan doesn't care how Huaxin Bookstore chooses, but Stardust Reading is completely different. From the beginning of development, Stardust Reading's goal is to make electronic books, so the progress of the two is completely different.

It depends on when Huaxin Bookstore can adjust and put more resources into it~

However, Chen Zifan thinks that Huaxin Bookstore, instead of choosing to make its own app with all its expenses, might as well share resources and channels directly with Stardust Reading, and then Stardust Reading will share part of the profits according to a certain percentage.

What is this now?

Afraid that the red flowers are not set off by the green leaves?
While discussing the issue of book resources, netizens in the Stardust community also created N resource sharing groups in Koukou to share electronic versions of various books.

In fact, it is not necessary at all.

Because after Stardust Technology exposed Stardust-Ink product posters and some configuration information, only two hours later, Stardust Technology’s official account released an announcement again, the content is about Stardust Reading, Huaxin Bookstore Yes, the amount of information is very large.

As soon as the announcement came out, countless netizens were dumbfounded:
"Stardust-Ink will open two book channels, Stardust Reading and Huaxin Bookstore at the same time? The cooperative publishers under Stardust Reading have... what the hell! So many? What the hell! Almost all famous publishing houses have it!"

"There are also foreign publishing houses?"

"There are more than 300 million electronic books in formal channels? Is Stardust Technology so rich? With so many electronic books, how should the copyright fee be calculated?"

Copyright fee?
Chen Zifan said that he didn't know what the copyright fee was. Please, Stardust Technology has opened up a new way to make money for them. Ask Stardust Technology for copyright fee?

Is it because Stardust Technology received too little money?

In Stardust-Ink and Stardust Reading, every time a book is sold, Stardust Technology will be given a certain percentage of share. With this part of the profit, the price of Stardust-Ink will be compressed to a level close to the cost.

Since it is a formal book, it is naturally charged. One of the advantages of the electronic version of the book is the low price. The most expensive electronic version of the book in Stardust Reading is not more than a quarter of the price of the physical book.

The lowest one can even be bought for only 1.99. Of course, Stardust Reading will also provide many free books. These free books are all well-known masterpieces, and some of them also provide Chinese and foreign editions.

Stardust Reading has its own set of strict standards when formulating the price system, and Huaxin Bookstore’s pricing is similar, but relatively speaking, their electronic books are more expensive than Stardust Reading.

How to choose depends on the consumer.

Of course, no matter what the specific relationship between Stardust Reading and Huaxin Bookstore is, it doesn't matter to consumers. They only care about what they can get, and that's exactly what the Stardust Marketing Department does.

I heard that you are confused about choosing products?
No demand for Stardust-Ink?
When there is no demand, create demand!The Stardust marketing department can't guarantee other things, but they are professional in painting big cakes. After the announcement of Stardust Technology came out, there were all kinds of soft articles and video promotions.

There is also the "subtle" marketing that they are best at, such as making Stardust-Ink appear in popular TV series, movies, and animations, and making Stardust-Ink appear in various activities.

After various operations, many people will think that they have a need for electronic paper books. After all, living in this society, everyone wants to improve themselves, and reading and fitness are the two easiest channels.

Stardust-Ink can meet their needs. In addition, Stardust-Ink is really high-level, light in weight and good in texture. Buying a copy is equivalent to buying a bookstore and taking it home. It is really a good deal.

Although reading is indeed a painful thing in most cases, if you don’t want to read, you can hold Stardust-Ink and sit by the window to pose, take two photos and post dynamic pretending to be B!
Who says you have to read?
It's just not advisable to do this...

In order to pave the way for the product, Stardust Reading was directly put on the Stardust app the day after the announcement was released, which is impossible for other companies because they are also worried about bad feedback.

In Stardust Technology, there is no similar statement at all, for no other reason, just two words:
confidence!

In fact, there used to be an APP called Stardust Reading, and it was also a native app of Stardust OS, but the usage rate of users is not high. The current Stardust Reading is equivalent to a major update, and the overall changes are very large.

Stardust Reading also lived up to its promise. Under the vigorous promotion of Stardust Marketing Department, the download volume exceeded 600 million times that day. Many people wanted to see how it was, and they were shocked when they saw it.

It's not that Stardust Reading has any special functions, but Stardust Reading is a very comfortable reading software from the inside to the outside, and even the application icons and opening animations have been specially processed.

Not to mention the layout in the app, it still continues the high level of Stardust Network’s consistent high level of app development, simple but not simple, the bookshelf, library, classification details, and personal homepage are all very well done.

Including free books, many apps will make free books feel cheap, but Stardust Reading does not give people this feeling at all. Whether it is free or paid, the specifications look the same.

Just open one of them, Stardust Reading will also optimize the font size and layout according to the current user's system settings, and the animation when turning pages will make people feel happy from the heart, which is the most difficult thing to do.

Various functions during reading, such as paragraph marking, font setting, etc., are easy to use. Even a 70-year-old grandmother can understand all functions and how to use them within 5 minutes.

Moreover, as a reading software that has nothing to do with commercial nature, it is enough to do the most important reading function well, so that users do not need to set anything in the default state, just click to open and read.

It’s best not to have any bells and whistles, including VIP. If one day you read a world famous book, you still have to be a VIP... Isn’t it too magical?
As the beginning of Chen Zifan's new goal, Stardust-Ink Wash should lay a good foundation at the beginning, but because Stardust reading is so easy to use, some users are not interested in buying electronic paper books:

"What kind of electronic paper book do you want to buy?"

"The reading data of Stardust are all interoperable! I experimented just now, and the reading progress on the mobile phone can be continued directly on the tablet! And the reading experience on the tablet is also very good! Big and cool!"

"I also have a Stardust Tablet!"

"I tried it just now, and it really is! Why do you still buy electronic paper books? The next Stardust will finish reading? True self-discipline does not need to buy electronic paper books!"

"It can't be said that way. Stardust-Ink has a long battery life and a single function, but it can make people concentrate. If it's a mobile phone... I might not be able to resist switching to the background and switching games after reading a few minutes."

"It really is…"

Netizens participating in the discussion in the Stardust community are still stuck on the electronic paper book product itself, but they don’t know that Chen Zifan already wants to replace most of the physical books with electronic paper books, but the process may be difficult and long.

Starting from the new version of Stardust 3 and Stardust 3+, to the drone Stardust-Margin, and now the electronic paper book Stardust-Ink, Stardust Technology has exposed four new products, but this is just the beginning .

However, the rest of the new products will not be exposed so easily, especially Stardust Technology's first special model, Stardust-Chenji, according to Chen Zifan's plan, it will not be exposed even the day before the press conference.

After entering May, even if Stardust Technology does not reveal new products, other manufacturers dare not act rashly, even some car manufacturers dare not make a move lightly, they are waiting for the Stardust conference to end first.

What if Stardust Technology suddenly came up with something that robbed them of all the heat, wouldn't they have nowhere to cry?In fact, there are really none... Except for Xingdust-Chenji, there are only regular updates left.

Even so, major manufacturers dare not gamble, they might as well wait for the limelight of Stardust Technology to pass before they appear on the stage. Anyway, the popularity of this thing drops quickly, and it is difficult to maintain the popularity of even the best products.

Stardust Technology is also in the midst of intensive preparations. 20 days before the press conference, the Xinghai Stadium has been directly closed. After all, it has been open for free for a whole year, so it should be used by itself.

Regarding this point, the citizens of Haicheng City have nothing to say. At most, the lack of a stadium with a good environment and diligent maintenance staff will affect the exercise, but who let this be built by Stardust Technology?

Look at other stadiums, which one is usually not tied up with big iron chains?Where will it be open to the public?
Just looking at the scene in front of me...

Many citizens began to wonder:
"If I had a drone, wouldn't I be able to fly directly above the stadium to see what's going on inside? That's what drones are supposed to do!"

what?Peeping privacy is very immoral!
Fortunately, the drone has not been launched yet. After the press conference is over and the product is launched, Chen Zifan estimates that he will have to spend a lot of energy to popularize the common sense of drones.

Fifteen days before the press conference, Stardust's official website once again opened the channel for auditorium reservations. Tickets are free, but whether they can grab them is another matter.

　Morality smashing, please wait
