I thought this was an interesting comparison of the relative environmental friendliness of e-readers versus books. I'm not against e-readers (though I think I'll always personally prefer a book), and this comparison isn't quite fair, since one e-reader represents several books (though it would have to be replaced more often).
See the NY Times' "op-chart" here.

Thank you, Elizabeth. I'm on vacation and taking a small opportunity to do some vague research like, Do real books give off some kind of energy? Do e-readers give off some kind of energy? The article you referred to me while not relevant to THAT question is obviously relevant to the question of what is the actual price we as a society pay for a book and for an e-reading experience. (Another big one for me is that people are learning not to share.)
