    All the people saying how great this is for the environment... think about it. Trees can grow back, paper is biodegradable and easily recycled. The plastic in those devices will live forever in a landfill. Not to mention the chemicals involved in the initial manufacturing. Also, paper and books are rarely made overseas in sweat shops. Just pointing that out :)
