The WiFi-capable unit is said to cost ¥100,000 ($941)= 588.343 EUR , but other specs are still up in the air -- hopefully they'll be changing the name as well.
The FLEPia product has a LCD which means a refresh frequency and a battery consumption that we don't need....having a "static" screen with eInk means more rest for eyes and less effort on reading, right like when we are reading a real journal paper... and to run the LCD means a furniture of electricity from battery where with eInk the electricity is needed ONLY WHEN you have to change the page....

Hope it will convince you for a better life and better eye's healthy ;-)
