I would not buy a piece of paper with attached battery and electronics if that presupposes a single use. A whole book of paper is easier to recycle than a single sheet of paper with electronic circuits attached, let alone a battery.

If the choice is between a classic book and a paper discardable ebook i would buy a classic book. But between a ereader and (several) paper books, then i choose the ereader.
