Yes and no. Not so much for the whole "paper books take up a lot of trees" thing, but I did think it would be handy to have something to read the billions of pdfs for my class on rather than printing them all out. I was very excited about this, as my reader lets me annotate and highlight and such, but the screen is a tad small and while I can zoom, that's making things slower. So while I am still printing things, I am working on reading them on the reader. That was long-winded.



The components themselves are honestly probably not all that green, but hopefully they will last a long time. Unfortunately, it's probably more likely that people will continue to buy the newest and prettiest model, thus using lots more resources. But yes, in theory, it can save a lot of paper and processing costs.



I'm having fun with mine. I'm not ready to get rid of my physical books yet, but I like having this around. I have the Sony Daily Edition, for what it's worth.
