<div><span class="004383322-13032009"><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">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.</font></span></div>
