I did not study this thesis in detail.. I just noticed how pro-e-reader it sounds in the introduction, so the endresult is not surprise... What I just wonder as example, how is "using" paper, *beside* production, transport, and recycling using any CO2 equivalent? I thought once produce and shipped to you, you can use it as much you want without any CO2 equivalent combustion... page 105 on the pdf.

yeah, that seems a little whacky. I looked around and it seems he is defining "use" of a book during its lifetime as transfer of ownership from one person to another. So... all the transportation and distribution costs associated with "used" books before they are destroyed/recycled.
