Many of you have heard of the Kindle or Sony e-book reader that uses electronic displays that give it a real feel as though you were viewing a newspaper or a text on a piece of paper.Not only does it look like paper but it is nearly as thin as it too, but only one problem so far,it doesn't have COLOR!!!!,or at least it didn't,many companies such as Liquavista ,Barnes & Noble,LG,Sony,Philips, and ASUS have bean developing color ePaper while some technologies are still in the prototype stage and others just a few months away from entering the the mainstream market.

Here are a few pictures of color eReader prototypes.
