it may cost more to produce my kindle fire eviremental resources wise than a single paper book, BUT lets consider this, in the last 3 years since ive started e-reading ive read 182 books and listened to 21 audio books (in the car) i can guarentee that my kindle fire, my samsung galaxy s 2 use less to manufacture and recharge than for all the resources to make the combined 223 books ive had in the last year, and thats not counting the over 350 books my wife has read in the last 3 years on her kindle 3 and her iphone 4, to be fair both our reading habits have doubled and tripled since we converted to e-reading but we fine most tv and movies useless these days.
