Also, I'd be afraid to take an ebook reader in the hot tub or bathtub, which is where I do a lot of my fiction reading, heh. I'm all for being green and encouraging people to save money, but at the same time, the author doesn't get paid if you get a book second hand or check it out from the library. While I read many library books myself, I always try to support my favorite authors! @Lindsay ... Great point about supporting your favorite authors. Although I have published books, I make most of my money from web writing so I forget about things like this.

Even if you’re really eco-friendly in your home, you can probably find new areas for green improvements. Maybe one of those areas is in your reading. Are you a green reader?
