With all that knowledge, seems to me that u r more of a treehugger than u want to admit. Take a chill pill. With the amount of pollution created from creating plastic aluminium n all, if we still make books, it means lesser trees and still same amount of factories, if not more. But with this e-book, the amount of trees will be greatly preserved in ratio to factories. There would be enough greens to counter the toxic that factories produce, which isn't the case nowadays, don't you think?

oh really? i am not an treehugger or anything but please enlighten me, that e-book is made out of plastic, aluminium and who knows what, how much energy those things cost to make?? oh and lets not mention whats the life span of an ebook 2-3 years tops? a regular book can last up to 50-90 years easy, it cost less to prodece and its biodegradeable and renuable, a ebook is not biodegradable ( dont give me that crap about recycling cuz it just wont work, it consumes more energy to recycle )

[ddrummersurfa]

An e-book is a good idea towards greener earth. Less paper that goes into production means more woods to replenish and heal the earth. Which part of this that's bullshit to you?

[sonyxxx16]

fat americans, go buy a damn book instead of this stupid e-book this is bullshit
