incendiary headlines like "Ebooks Are an Abomination" deserve an equally incendiary headline in return - "Paper Books Are Killing the Planet".
cutting trees takes away a resource to store carbon. cutting trees require equipment that releases carbon. transportation of said trees releases carbon. manufacturing of paper from trees releases carbon. production of books releases carbon. shipping of books to warehouses and stores releases carbon. consumers driving to stores to buy books releases carbon.
ergo, paper books are killing the planet.
they also cause health issues (think back problems from lifting heavy books and paper cuts). they unnecessarily take up space (think new york studio apartments)
