The problem with this is that books can generally be recycled, while electronic stuff generally cannot be recycled (at least as thoroughly). And with digital things becoming cheaper and cheaper these days, digital storage mediums seem more disposable, and thus they are often discarded into landfills and not recycled.Quoting [ETM] (view post)

Also, what uses more energy to produce? Paper products or digital ones? How long do you have to keep a Kindle for its energy cost to balance out with the paper-savings?
