i'm officially an old codger

I'd love a Kindle and have been contemplating the purchase of an Eee Pc substitute—I'd fill it with PDF's and e-books and would also have the added portability of a useful netbook. Wish I'd have acted when they were offered for ~175$ on woot.com.

You laughed. There are two options as to why:

1.) I was wrong and E-Books are, in fact, less sustainable somehow than physical books.

2.) You are short-sighted (this could be either natural or due to a blinding bias - ie Al Gore punched your mom in the face so now you can't allow yourself to agree with him) (see figure 1 below)

You still have to build a kindle to read it on. I think the kindle uses batteries. You have to charge it. You have to use power to use the kindle. Lets keep talking about sustainability jackass.

I said there were two options, and you have shown me how it was the first. For which I am glad, because I thought you were coming from option 2.
