Today we have heard the news that Trajectory, an ebook vendor has teamed up with Xiaomi to distribute the Trajectory ebooks together. This ebook vendor is small but offers powerful tools that will be combined with Xiaomi devices to reach more audiences.
Trajectory's idea is to reach the Chinese market, so we do not know if we will also have this option available on Xiaomi smartphones that are sold outside of China. But it seems that after this union with Xiaomi, Trajectory will arrive in China. Thus, the Chinese market will receive the titles of the 5 Big Publishing Houses, something that in some cases is not usual in the Chinese market, especially titles of Macmillan, Gardner Books and MIT Press.
In addition, Trajectory incorporates a whole novelty and is a search engine by terms that will help us to find the word we want not only in Chinese but also in other languages, looking for meanings and making comparisons to offer results appropriate to the needs of the user and not to technology. More or less something similar to the famous Google algorithm but focused on the world of the ebook.
Trajectory will offer a tool to search for ebook terms in other languages and in Chinese
While it is true that Xiaomi was already interested in the world of the ebook and that it currently offers alternatives, it is also true that its success is not very great and that few know those applications and stores by default that are configured on Xiaomi devices.
In addition, now with the use of larger screens, many Chinese and not so Chinese may appreciate reading or doing it from smartphones and not from an eReader, this is surely very conducive to Xiaomi and Trajectory but it was also believed that the Xiaomi's platform would bring in many customers and it has hardly been noticed.
