For years, the world of digital reading was defined by a single, significant trade-off: the unparalleled, eye-friendly comfort of E-ink screens, but only in grayscale. While devices like the Kindle cultivated a generation of digital readers, the lack of color remained a major limitation. This landscape began to shift when Bigme emerged as a visionary force, relentlessly pushing the boundaries of what was possible with electronic paper and firmly establishing itself as the leader ushering in the vibrant future of E-ink
From Monochrome to Millions of Colors: The Bigme Vision

They foresaw a future where digital displays could be both easy on the eyes and visually rich. Their commitment to this vision positioned them to act swiftly when upstream suppliers began providing color E-ink technology, making them the color e-ink smart office tablet pioneer.
