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.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
