Royal Philips Electronics, Sony and display start-up E Ink announced on Wednesday that Sony would release an e-book in Japan in late April that uses a display based on E Ink's electronic-ink technology. The display aims to offer a paper-like reading experience with color contrast identical to newsprint. It is reflective and can be read in bright sunlight or dimly lit environments while being seen from virtually any angle. Sony's e-Book reader LIBRIe' allows users to download published content, such as books or comic strips from the Internet, and enjoy it anywhere at any time. LIBRIe' can store up to 500 downloaded books. "
