Ebook readers are all the rage right now with a new device for reading electronic books appearing nearly every weak. Bridgestone is known for making tires but apparently they are also playing around with digital displays such as the flexible ebook reader pictured above. Crunchgear says the reader has a 10.7-inch-screen and is about half as thin as Amazon.com's Kindle. Bridgestone will not be putting its ebook reader prototype into production itself but they could license or sell the technology to another company that might mass produce the device.
