But… you’re using a computer right now of some sort, aren’t you? So all that non-renewable, non-recyclable stuff… you’ve already GOT it. Why not press it into more service to store and read books as well? If you read paper books, you’re not ONLY using all the resources of a computer, but ALSO all the resources of a paper book. You’ve got the worst of both worlds, you glutton!
Now, obviously your argument works a little better for completely dedicated eReaders… but it seems to be not an argument in favor of paper books, but rather against one-purpose computing devices where a general-purpose one will do!
I prefer paper books myself, BTW.
