I'm working on some research about eBooks for a BookFinder.com info page that we will be posting later on to help you guys muddle your way though all the different readers and file types. While doing this I came across a neat video that I thought you might want to see.
It's for the FLEPia, Fujitsu's new full color eReader that was launched last month in Japan. It seems to have some pretty major drawbacks, such as the $1000 price tag and the 1.8-8 second page load times. If you can get past the ultra cheesy music, monotone dialogue and glaring camera work the device itself is a pretty monster step in the right direction for eReaders.

As tempting as a color eReader sounds, I think maybe I ought to find something more in my price range... like a mass-market paperback.

Biblibio, don't get me wrong I am with you. My current TBR stack were all $1 paperbacks I picked up at a local charity book sale... but the idea of a color eReader is pretty mind blowing (for me at least).

ereaders like this and the Kindle still scare me. As a PRINTED book lover and bookseller I always have that nagging feeling in the back of my head that one day printed books will be no more. This is also coming from someone that has been in the technology field for over 12 years now. Ereaders have their place but I don't want to get rid of the printed books as well.
