Guys, I'm not arguing that case. Of course Amazon and Apple won't be around in
200 years time... neither will Ford and General Motors - but the car (or that
time's equivalent... the jet pad???) will be.
I'm not disagreeing with either of you - I'm merely stating my point was about
generational differences...us and them - books vs "an electronic device"...not
which version of delivery would kill more baby seals.
Cheers,
Steve

Steve, the environmental concerns are complex. Trees/pulp are renewable, the
metals + plastics used in making an eReader aren't. To support Mr. T's argument,
if I was going to bet, I'd bet that Kindles and nooks will soon be filling up
landfills as the iPad (or some similar device) wins out. Why by a dedicated
eReader when you can buy something that you can do everything with?
