...it is going to take a LONG time before the paperless world really reaches critical mass.... heck even a long time before it reaches the tipping point.
...also, eBook readers being more green is also not set in stone. You are just replacing the use of some resources with the use of others.

Wow, just a wee bit pessimistic?! Although I completely agree with you - sometimes this ol' "tried and true" BS can't get to me. To those who still think the USA is the brightest and best at everything need to get out more and realize the rest caught up and passed us a long time ago and we are just sitting here resting on our out of date laurels.
Regarding the ebook/greenie idea, I can sdee where it might not be as green for the passive reader, but I can see it making a big impact in the education sector...not only for the students, but also the institutions from elementary on up.
