Yeah, I've never bought the green argument too much.
Paper use isn't a huge issue in my mind, as long as forests aren't being clear cut, trees are being replanted etc. Especially if people are recycling all the paper they don't need to keep.
Vs. e-readers which have to be charged (though that's not much power usage), have plastic, metal etc. in them. And with the batteries are terrible for the environment if they get chucked in a landfill rather than recycled.
So really, either can be pretty green if people are recycling and not being wasteful, paper companies aren't clear cutting and are replanting etc. So I've never bought into the e-reader are greener point so much.
