**Background:**
As someone who has been part of the high-V internet community for over a decade, I've always found it hard to step away from the digital world. The first and second generations of the Bambook were introduced back then, mainly connected to the starting point cloud bookstore. However, both the hardware and software of the Bambook were extremely unstable. It wasn’t updated for years, leading to countless frustrating experiences. Eventually, I put it aside and moved on to KPW and KV, developing a strong preference for Kindle and mobile reading apps. Even though the mobile app is convenient, it's really tough on the eyes. Sometimes after reading a long book on my phone, my vision gets blurry or even dizzy. That’s why I’ve always yearned for an e-reader with electronic ink — something that lets me read big novels without eye strain.
It wasn’t until I saw the QQ second-generation e-book reader announcement on January 5th that I felt a bit more excited. Time will tell if this one can live up to expectations.
**Unboxing:**
The delivery was pretty fast — I ordered on the afternoon of the 5th and received it by the 7th.
Opening the package, the box design was very simple, almost too minimal. I’m not sure if it’s because of the “Easy†name, but the product and the name don’t seem closely related. Inside, there was just the device, a cheap-looking cloth cover (which I probably won’t use), and a 50-yuan gift card.
After removing the foam, I got a look at the front and back of the box. Then, the real device came into view. It looked normal, nothing surprising. Compared to the Kindle Voyage, it’s slightly smaller, and the shell feels less premium. I guess it’s expected given the price. The weight feels decent, but I didn’t check the specs too closely.
On the back, I noticed that my KV had been worn for a while, so I hadn’t paid much attention to the back design before.
The QQ Reader has very few peripheral functions — just a power switch on top, three buttons, a reset button, a microUSB port, and a charge indicator. No extra features, which is fine for a basic e-reader.
When I turned it on, the system started booting. It supports only 2.4G Wi-Fi, and connecting was smooth. To log in, I used the Starting Point app on my phone, scanned the code, and it worked.
QQ sent dozens of free books, but I didn’t feel much interest. They take up about 2GB of space, so I left them for now.
Syncing my library from the Starting Point was quick enough. It must be said that the reading group has dominated online content. Some of the official novel recommendations weren’t very appealing.
My account settings are similar to Kindle, but even simpler. It seems like the MVP is focused on core functionality, and personalization may come later.
I upgraded the firmware first, which was over 100MB. Downloading was fast, but installation took around 6-7 minutes.
In terms of the E-Ink screen, the QQ Reader isn’t as good as Kindle. The screen texture feels poor, and when the backlight is on, it looks more like an IPS display. You can see light leakage in the corners, making it less comfortable to read. Kindle screens are much better in this aspect — they’re evenly lit and feel like a real paper page when set correctly. Both KPW and KV have better screens than this one. Again, it's all about cost.
**Simple Usage Feelings:**
1. Overall, the experience isn’t bad. It does what it needs to.
2. Some details need improvement — for example, adjusting font size doesn’t show exact numbers. You have to adjust one file at a time, and the difference between sizes is quite large, making it hard to find the perfect size.
3. I used to read on my phone while lying in bed, but with this QQ Reader, finding a comfortable single-handed position was challenging. The sides and bottom are a bit narrow, so maybe a cover would help.
4. Page turning and screen refresh rate are smooth — no complaints there.
**Conclusion:**
The second generation of the QQ Reader shows a solid level of maturity. Although there are some issues, compared to the massive content appeal, none are deal-breakers. It’s practical and well-suited for daily use. From this, we can see that the user base is clearly defined, and the balance between price and experience is quite good.
In my opinion, this product targets students, low-to-middle-income users, and those looking for a backup reading device. Its affordable price makes it accessible to a wider audience.
