E-readers vs Books: Environmental Impact Analysis

This is a project I did for school, and I thought I would share it with anyone who was interested.

I'm thinking about doing another one of these; Any suggestions for a topic?

What do you think about the length? Should it be shorter?

Feel free to leave comments!

The 'Document 3' that appears in the presentation is a reference to an article in Business Day, a newspaper in South Africa entitled 'An ode to the (real) book - long may it last.' written by Chris Thurman
