inquiry format

Sat Sri Akal Ji, Dear Sir/Mam,

We are a startup company in India, looking to offer an eReader for religious texts (Gurbani). We are in the early development stages and looking for a 6" touch screen eReader hardware device with the best possible configuration in the price range of 40 to 50 USD (around 3000-4000 INR). We require the following features for this device:

Could you recommend the best possible configuration for this price range? As we are in the early development stages, we cannot commit a quantity number, but we need to create a crowdsourcing campaign for the same, for which we would need hardware specifications.

We would also want our own custom software to be run on the device. Therefore, please provide a software framework to make a custom application for this hardware.

We have a draft of the UI for our reader app https://app.diagrams.net/#G15RUhQ4bt3QCMc0xWWcJ3oDmeWlkjAWJo

Looking forward to your reply.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Jasdeep Singh cingh.jasdeep@gmail.com +917710946959
