For me this is reason #2. Reason #1 is the convince of being able to carry all my books in a small device.

I tried going green and practice it when I can. But it is hard being green and not being hypocrite (this is directed to my personal feeling of me claiming to be green and directed at noone else). For instance the ink used in clothing. The electronic devices that are used to read eBooks, the wasted produced by electic plants to power our house, fast food, etc....

At least the waste produced by pBooks is much less severe than many of the other wasted in our society. Paper is 100% bio-degradable.
