Within a very short span of time, Xiaomi was able to take its place in the wearable market focusing on the markets that were overlooked by the big brands.

The same applies here if Xiaomi takes this project seriously and keeps improving the product according to the needs and wants of local markets, it could play a significant role in the Asian market. Focusing on local publishers of each country, transforming books into E-books, local language books and platform integration are the things that Xiaomi needs to do for the success of this product.
