The green value, if there is one, comes not from you getting ebooks, but from 1000s of people doing this. Less paper, less energy, less storage, not to mention less...

You need top notch storage for this to work, and then it will not work for heavily loaded SQL Servers.

I saw that, and it is cool, but 3lbs is heavy. Even the Kindle was heavy at times when trying to read. My tablet is probably closer to 4lbs, but...

So, Texas beats Tampa Bay in ALDS Game 5 last night. If I'm not mistaken, I believe it's the first time ever that the visiting road team...
