Your statement about forests shows you don't know about modern forestry

All modern paper/pulp and woodcutting companies in the West engage in sustainable forestry - trees are planted specifically for paper or wood purposes, they grow, and then they are harvested. The area used is rotated, care is taken that the soil does not erode, and ultimately there is no net detriment to the environment.
I can't say that all Brazilian companies (or Russian companies, for that matter) engage in sustainable forestry, but your paper in the West is not coming from those sources. In the extreme, it's coming from nominally Russian Ilin Paper and Pulp, which is now owned by International Paper and engaging in sustainable forestry.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

even a large collection of books does not use enough wood to be an issue

Camilla, you're a great lady, but you're almost a walking parody sometimes.

Honestly, I couldn't have given a rat's ass about its environmental impact.

I'm not going to make the obvious comments in response to the phrase "native bush".

You can't read on an iPad any more than you can read on a laptop. *NM*
