That is it in a nutshell for me as well, Harry. When I visit my cousin in the Boston area, I usually buy a couple of pbooks at the Harvard bookstore but they certainly add weight to the suitcase. I love being able to carry around a library with no problem via ereader.
As to being green, I am all for trees. I am sure ewaste (as some pictures in this thread have shown) is a big problem and will only continue to be so. I suspect there are far too many humans for the way we live in developed countries now to be remotely sustainable whatever we do.
