BeBook mini e-reader with 5-inch display makes pictorial debut

It’s not the BeBook 2, unfortunately, but Endless Ideas’ official Twitter has released an image of a smaller variant of its current e-book reader, dubbed the BeBook mini. It’s got a 5-inch e-ink display and reportedly all the same features as its older brother. Manufacturer Tianjin Jinke Electronics also happens to sell products under the Hanlin brand, and this looks to be the same device as the upcoming Hanlin v5, which according to Chinese site mobread would indicate SD card support and a May release window locally. As for elsewhere in the world, there’s no indication of a release date, but BeBook Twitter feed did tease about staying under the $200 / €200 price barrier.
