A flexible display newspaper concept from the UK and an e-news trial project in Germany are in the news this week.

From the UK, Electricpig reports on a flexible display concept:

The electronic e-reader concept by Mayo Nissen could be how the national newspapers win back their receding readership in 2015. The day’s news scrolls across the front page and the further you unroll it, the more detail on each headline story is displayed.

The paper and ink publishers have been fighting a losing battle with online newscasters that can update their stories as it happens, but the e-paper could change that.

The forums at MobileRead contain a discussion of a Spiegel report about an e-news trial project by Deutsche Telekom this fall. The forum poster notes that participants in the “News4Me” trial project will be given a dedicated ereading device for receiving personalized news reports.
