An anonymous reader writes "IBM developerWorks is running an interesting article dicussing the difficulties faced by e-books and what it might take to help them to 'break out'. What are some other ways to give books a 21st-century facelift?"

    Exactly. We need to cut down more trees and use the wood in ways (such as books) that will keep their carbon out of the atmosphere. Growing replacement trees will help suck up more CO2.

    Do your bit to reduce greenhouse gases, cut down a tree! (And plant a new one.)

    Most new paper pulp comes from tree farms, and has for decades.
