Hasta La Gadget!

E-Book readers are already inherently green, right? After all, using one reduces the number of trees that have to be chopped down to satisfy your reading habits. Still, there’s the whole issue of electricity–you don’t need a lithium ion battery for that paperback. LG is greening up the space with a new solar powered reader.

The new reader features a solar cell measuring 10 CM x 10 CM, with an energy conversion efficiency rate of 9.6-percent. Four to Five hours of sunlight should give you about a day’s worth of charge.

There’s not much info on the device beyond that, save for a fairly stiffly worded press release from the company.
