Hasta La Gadget!

eReaders like the Kindle are a great way to reduce clutter and paper usage. And now, thanks to a new device from Toshiba and Japanese telecommunications company KDDI, they can also utilize solar energy for charging..

The new gadget is called the Biblio Leaf, and it features a solar panel mounted on the front so that the device can be charged even when you’re away from an electrical outlet. It also features both Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity, a six inch black-and-white e-ink screen, and two gigabytes of memory. It even comes with a stylus for note taking.

Unfortunately, at least as of right now, it doesn’t look like the Biblio Leaf will be making its way outside of Japan.
