Fujitsu trying out its new color newspapers in Japan

Fujitsu is trying out its new color newspaper FLEPia in restaurants in Tokyo. The newspaper uses color e-paper to display news for customers. When the device isn’t in use it displays ads for customers who are sitting at a table with it. The device only uses power when the images on the screen are being changed, so it isn’t a huge power users and only has to be charged overnight when the store it’s sitting in is presumably not open. The papers are getting a trial run through the end of the week in Tokyo to see how they do, and we imagine that they work fantastically. Would you read an electronic newspaper while enjoying your coffee in the morning? We think so. [via SlashGear]
