I never really viewed an eReader as "Green", merely convenient.

I would tend to think Plastic. the chemicles in the batteries etc,
plus the need to recharge them (using electricity) compared to
a renewable resource such as wood would not make them so green.

Then when you need to dispose of them a book can be burnt
in a fireplace, or even just buried in a landfill would not be
as bad as the elements in an e-reader.

Also in our society many want the latest and greatest and
they will "upgrade" just because they want the newer model.
