Am I alone in printing out ebooks a section at a time for reading? I've discovered that I can efficiently get a decent printable file by printing to pdf from within calibre's ebook-viewer. I then go to the library and print out as much as my daily ration will allow. After reading, I can either recycle the book or tuck it away in a binder for future reference. Am I weird or is this more common than I imagine; I mean there are benefits: no batteries, no worries about cracking a fragile e-ink screen or getting it wet (within reason). And if I lose it, it's not a big deal. There are also ebooks that don't look so great on the small screens of the current devices. What do you all think?

No... I've heard there are whole colonies of self-labeled 'anti-environment luddites' who've also formed a similar strategy. Of course, most of those work for BP.
