In fact, the article sums up nicely what we've been discussing here, IMO. An important aspect of the question, highlighted at the end of the article, is the need for a better assessment of materials used in electronics, and more comprehensive electronics recycling programs in place. Even the most efficient e-book reader is of little use in a landfill.
Once more efficient recycling systems are breaking down and reusing electronics components, there will be little room to argue the matter further... e-book readers will be the more environmentally sound solution.
