The paper itself may not be, in terms of disposal... but a lot more energy, resources, and pollution of air and wastewater, go into the production of paper than most people realize. When it is used once, then discarded, that makes paper much less "green" than a single e-book reader, or any other electronic device.
(And let's not try to suggest that McDonald's is somehow "green"... they took that route to save money, nothing more.)
@NatCh: I know our Kinkos have drop-offs for batteries and cellphones. If our local Best Buy has a similar system, you'd never know it, because they don't publicize it.
