Does it take more energy to create a paper book and get it into my hands than the energy used to read a book on my phone plus a fraction of the phone's own construction and distribution energy cost (as divided across all its use in a life time).
Hmm.
Additional variable: Theoretically, electronic books aren't created unless they're desired.
ReplyDeleteRight, the whole overstock issue is pretty damning. Perhaps I should focus on print-on-demand paper books.
