... plus one needs to analyze the indirect environmental impact of e-books. For instance, e-books can cause significant indirect ecological "damage" through the required use of energy (for instance, when you use your PC to browse e-book catalogs, to download and transfer e-books, or when you use wireless for transfer (e.g. EVDO)).

Does anyone else have this sick feeling in the bottom of the stomach??? Why did he choose the Sony Reader as the demo for the waste management topic? Why not a laptop computer or a radio or SOMETHING ELSE besides my beloved reader? Is this a portent of the future, as in "you may as well throw these things away now, because they're going to be pretty useless soon".

Sorry, just throwing that out there!

Possibly it was not a small thing, but not too big, and it fit in his pocket or briefcase.
