I asked yesterday if you were interested in e-books, but I'm fairly sure we all prefer to read a book in its original (paper) format. But have you considered the environmental impact of books?
In her BA Conference address on Consumer Trends, Dr Michelle Harrison of the Henley Centre showed a photograph of a crowded bookshelf and asked, "Is this unethical? Is it right to have such a display of paper in one's home? Do we feel uncomfortable about this, ostentatious even?"
As Publishing News put it, "The implication was clear - digital is greener." [via Book2Book]
It's an interesting point. What do you think?
