Kindle, the Green Movement, and the Death of the Printed Word?  | | I was just curious if anyone else had given any thought to the impact that the Kindle and the Green Movement might have on the printed word. I've given it some thought, and I think it's possible that we might one day see the end of books in their traditional format. I'm not saying it's inevitable, but I definitely think it's possible. Any thoughts?

We need the facts from a scientist before we can conclude kindle to be more green than paper books. Kindle replacing paper books? I for one dont beleive its possible, not in the near future in any case. Books are way too convinient and have an emotional value to many of us. Electronic books will also be costlier than paper books, so many countries will find it hard to adopt them.

They are closing all over the country because people are buying mp3 albums online. Even the stores own websites are killing them, like F.Y.E. You can buy an mp3 album online at their website so why brave the mall crowds to go to the store?
Personally, I hope it doesn't happen...the demise of the written word, that is. I love books. I hate e-books. Computer screens, and likewise Kindle screens, are all harsh and glow-y and hard on your eyes for long periods of time (like the 12 hours I spend every day staring at my computer between work and entertainment LOL). So if anyone in charge wants to know what I think, I say gimme my books.
