REAL PAPER books ??? ;-)) at least after reading you are able to RECYCLE? them as termmal energy..... ...try this with bits and bytes.. they NEED only engery (at least in routers, data brocessing sercvices ....)
The ebook is free. The paper book costs £19.99. Though the author has offered to send me a free paper copy since trying to obtain the electronic version is causing me so much grief. I'm tempted to take her up on it. And good luck getting back all the embodied energy of a paper book, BTW. As well as the energy embodied in the paper, there's all the energy expended on cutting down trees, transporting them, converting them to paper and card, making ink and glue, printing and binding the book and then distributing it. I'd guess even the last mile delivery uses more energy than an electronic copy costs, but I'm no expert. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
