    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?
