The world’s first Android 16 e-reader is Viwood’s AiPaper Reader. The company is expanding the lineup. The AiPaper Reader C becomes colourful as it trades the crisp monochrome Carta panel for a colour E Ink display. It’s a fashionable shift, as more e-readers get colourful transformations throughout the market.
AiPaper Reader C, the colourful Android 16 e-reader
No doubt the touch of colour will make the Android 16 e-reader more attractive to those who regularly read comics, illustrated books, children’s titles, or PDFs with charts and diagrams. Colour E Ink still isn’t vibrant in the LCD sense but it adds context that grayscale can’t always capture. A colour E Ink panel also minimises sharpness, meaning that text and fine lines won’t appear as sharp as on the monochrome AiPaper Reader.
The 6.13-inch Reader C features the same 6.7mm thickness as the original and weighs just 138g. It also maintains the same core hardware as 4GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, optional 4G connectivity, and, of course, Android 16. The colour model is like the AiPaper Reader because it supports data-only SIM cards for 4G use, allowing users to sync books, download apps, or run AI tools without depending on Wi-Fi. The Reader C also retains the same built-in AI button for triggering on-page assistance.
The AiPaper Reader C isn’t a transparent upgrade, just like with most colour E Ink devices . Readers who want flexibility may welcome it. ViWoods’ quick follow-up has it that the company is eager to create a real presence in the e-reader world with the AiPaper Reader C.

Last week, in South Korea, Samsung’s home country, the Galaxy Z Trifold sold out in minutes as it went on sale. Some people in the area who missed out will have the opportunity to get it. According to the Chosun publication , some insiders say that Samsung will refill supplies in a few days.
Still on the report, the online store at Samsung.com will have new units available at 10 am on Wednesday. There’s a probability that it will sell out fast. An estimated number of only 3,000 Z TriFolds have been set aside for the domestic market.
It’s believed that some offline stores will receive an additional shipment at the same time. It’s not clear which stores in particular. For its launch on the 12th, the new TriFold was available in 20 stores across Korea.
The Galaxy Z TriFold launched at KRW 3,594,000 (approximately $2445) and was sold out shortly after that. The listings on secondhand trading platforms showed price tags of up to 4 million KRW (roughly $2721), some reaching as high as 10 million KRW (about $6803). This was a result of scalpers who always make things worse because of their greedy interest to make more profits.
However, the new stock will be sold at the original KRW 3,594,000 price, and no doubt this development will reduce the prices on these secondhand platforms. There’s the likelihood that Samsung will probably sell out its Galaxy Z TriFold units fast.
