Most of the info here is taken from this Gizmodo article on the Fujitsu FLEPia color ebook, plus a few cut and pastes from other sites. As the Fujitsu post only seems to be in Japanese people are translating it with varying degrees of accuracy.

Pricing:
Confusion over pricing abounds. Anything between $12,685 (A5) and $21,137 (A4) for each of first 10 samples, or for first ten samples.
Someone who seems to speak Japanese states on Engadget “they plan to produce just 10,000 - 100,000 units in 2008 and start shipping worldwide up to a million pieces in 2009 with prices of about $310 for the small unit and $500 for the large size.”
$310 would undercut the Sony eReader slightly for A5 size, although this is color, lower battery life, etc.
Display:
I still haven't seen any mention of where the display technology is coming from, and maybe it's Fujitsu's own.

DisplaySearch , in their May monthly summary, identify the display technology as Cholesteric liquid crystal, with about 300ms response time.
