I agree in principle with markbot, however I think his estimate of the "Break even" point being somewhere around 40 books read.
It'd be very complicated to work out and I haven't done it to be sure. My gut feel however is that he's probably off by an order of magnitude.
If people would keep their ebook readers past the break even point then they're "green". If not, not. Where that break even point is is very difficult to determine. My suspicion is that I will never keep an ebook reader until it's past it's break even point. I like new gadgets/toys/features too much to keep a unit that long.
There are many like me who want to keep on top of advances in consumer electronics. The whole issue of e-waste is HUGE.
It'd be nice to think of the trees we're saving by not consuming our media that way, but I think that in reality ebook readers are much worse.
