New eReader from DangDang Spotted

Few weeks ago, there was a report from The Digital Reader regarding DangDang’s plan to open a new ebooktore. Since then, the store is currently having about 50 thousand books of any kind. Together with this launch is the preparation of the company to introduce its new eReader device. But unfortunately, DangDang isn’t ready to make any statements concerning this.
Yet recently, it seems that the rumored eReader has leaked to the public. A photo has spotted carrying a quite likeness to the Pocketbook 302 which was unveiled last year. Specifications aren’t able to include aside from the details about its date of release in the coming April and its retail price of around 499 Yuan.
The encounter of DangDang in the Chinese ebook market seems struggling due to the larger influence of these two companies, naming the Hanvon and Shanda carrying approximately 80% of the entire local ebook readers. However, we’re still clueless though if the DangDang’s eReader will make up with this scarce through creating a mark in the eReading world.
