But can you show that the number of books printed is reduced by even one, as a result of you buying an eBook reader? One might play "devil's advocate" and say that eBook readers are a bad thing, in that they produce additional environmental pollution, while having no material benefit whatsoever in terms of reducing the number of printed books produced.
