Let the e-ink flow

The ink is hardly dry on the future of newspapers, but Engadget reports that moving the dead tree scrolls to e-ink has begun in earnest.

It said that De Tijd, a Belgian financial newspaper, has put their paper on iLiad e-ink eBook readers. The New York Times and the International Herald Tribune are among others said to be in discussions to roll out e-newspaper subscriptions later this year.

The first devices are likely to look like Sony's Reader.

The devices are monochrome now but color is coming from companies such as Fujitsu.

Timely, this news, as another Earth Day passes.
