The article is definitely slanted. I will grant that tablets are definitely selling better than ereaders, and probably will continue to (and it is a key argument to support using the ipad as the author's "ereader" rather than a kindle, nook or Sony PRS), but that doesn't mean that tablets are going to take over the bulk of ereading. Or, even if they do, that it is affair to assign the total environmental cost of a multi-purpose device to a single one of its uses without looking at how the device is used on average (and I would guess that ebook reading is not even 50% of the use of the average iPad).
