[clue-talk] Kindle 2

[Brian Gibson]

The carbon footprint reminded me of the financial overhead when it comes to printing:

Note that the costs quoted in the article are underestimated.  So actual savings would be higher.

I do 
most of my reading with the Kindle; books, magazines, occasionally newspapers. 
Mostly I read just released non-fiction books along the lines of global 
warming, green revolution, etc. I read someplace, and I can't remember where, 
that the second or third best way to reduce our carbon footprint is to read 
digital books, newspapers, magazines, etc. It is a highly petroleum intensive 
industry to say nothing about the loss of atmosphere cleansing 
trees.
