This could make a difference if your only use or even if 90% of your use of the internet is to acquire ebooks. Downloading a purchased/PD/library book usually takes less than 30 seconds for me. Locating the book and deciding on buying/borrowing it takes a longer time, but I spend far more internet seconds reading articles or forums or researching non book purchases weekly then I do for a years worth of books. And my router is plugged in and my internet is connected 24/7 so how could I be using any more power etc. Well maybe a dollar or two a century. Maybe even a dollar or two a year.
