It seems that there is one in development in Finland: Article.

A new Color e-Reader is being developed by five media companies based
in Finland. Their intention is to offer a low cost device that can be
charged via solar power and used primarily for the consumption of
newspapers. There is a beta test beginning in November that will see
the Helsingin Sanomat newspaper being delivered by their new cloud
infrastructure.

One of the new things this reader has going for it is the solar cell
battery. It will be able to recharge in direct or ambient light and
this is currently the only way you can charge the device.

Here is the company website, but it doesn't seem to be very informative at the moment.
