Hanlin V2 is an obsolete, early eReader aimed the the business market in Chinese-speaking areas. The Hanlin V2 is similar to the Hanlin V8, but with a different Linux operating system. It was one of the first e-ink devices with a touchscreen and stylus input means. The touchscreen only worked on the small LCD slave panel beneath the main e-ink screen (mirroring the recent Nook configuration).
This was mainly marketed to the corporate market, and generally not to English-speaking audiences. While Chinese and English are listed as operating languages for the menu system, there are some blatant spelling errors and such. Likewise, there are some complaints about glitches in the software of an otherwise rather well developed ebook reader, despite its age.
The device does have a plasticky feel. It had basic Mp3 player support, and a headphone jack, but no speakers. The Hanlin V2 lacked functions we now take for granted in new eReaders, like onboard dictionary, search functionality, only three font sizes, etc.
The company that produced the Hanlin V2 is Tianjin Jinke Electronics Co., LTD. Jinke was founded in 1985, is a high-tech joint-owned enterprise, located in Tianjin, China. Jinke also produces a range of other eReaders, often variants which are rebadged for companies in different markets around the world.
Connecting: The Hanlin V2 had no wireless connectivity, and relied on an ancient USB 1.1 port for transferring ebooks from PC to eReader.
Accessories: We're not aware of the details on accessories for the Hanlin V2.
Price: The Hanlin V2 is now obsolete, but it used to retail for approximately $349.
