Market Insight
Project Background
As one of China’s mainstream digital reading platforms, WeRead provides an excellent reading experience while using WeChat’s social features to encourage sharing and discussion.
This social connection makes reading feel less solitary.
Innovation Value
For the CMF design, the product adopts 0.35 mm AG glass panels on the front and rear, together with a 0.35 mm aluminum alloy middle frame.
This manufacturing solution represents a revolutionary breakthrough not only in the e-ink reader category but also across the broader consumer electronics industry.
Design Strategy

Market Research
An immersive reading experience was established as the central design objective of the product.
The 7.8-inch display is approximately the size of a physical book.
With an exceptionally slim and lightweight three-dimensional form, a weight of 268 grams, and a thickness of only 5.7 mm, the product provides a more comfortable one-handed reading experience.

Optimization and Upgrade
WeRead aimed to create the thinnest immersive reading tablet available on the market.
Through an uncompromising pursuit of design excellence, LKK Design Shenzhen repeatedly integrated structural engineering and supplier resources to overcome dimensional limitations.
The final product achieves an overall thickness of only 5.7 mm.
💡 Solution
1. Hardware for an Immersive Reading Experience
The e-ink reader was developed by WeRead as a hardware product dedicated to creating an immersive reading experience.
Although the internet has brought greater convenience, people’s personal reading time and suitable reading environments are gradually being reduced.
2. Distraction-Free Product Design
The WeRead E-Ink Reader was designed entirely around an immersive reading experience.
Its closed software system, extremely lightweight structure, and visually unobtrusive design language help users remain focused on reading.
No product detail should become a reason for users to be distracted from the content.
