No trying to wonder if you could fit one more book onto that over used book shelf. No recycling issues or filling up landfills.
As the price goes down and more people buy a ereader, I see the morning paper and magazines being downloaded. No paper. Sort of like the Debt Card. Who carries cash anymore? THIS IS BIG! If done right.  |
Welcome and I agree with you. I'd love to find the stats on the number of paper-based books are sent to landfill each year, including paperbacks, harcover, text books, etc.!
