Reuters: Electronic Newspapers Could Arrive This Year

Nothing we don't already know, but the fact that Reuters has picked up the story about electronic newspapers must be a good sign. Here: "The newspapers of the future—cheap digital screens that can be rolled up and stuffed into a back pocket—have been just around the corner for the last three decades.

But as early as this year, the future may finally arrive. Some of the world's top newspaper publishers are planning to introduce a form of electronic newspaper that will allow users to download entire editions from the Web on to reflective digital screens said to be easier on the eyes than light-emitting laptop or cellphone displays."
